Deadline

Created by: SevenLeg
Team: 2022-23 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 2, 2023
Published: Feb. 2, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Herein lies the entirety of transactions that will take place at the deadline: nothing. The two main assets of the Canadiens have jointly decided to be made of glass, so the team wins nothing by trading them this year. In Edmundson's case, neither his play nor his health is currently appealing, although it was revealed by an executive that other teams associate his performance with the team's general state (mediocre) and that they don’t read much into it. Let's give him time to recover for the rest of the season and during the summer, and start again next season. As for Monahan, the team has the frustrating habit of rushing players back from injuries and Monahan has been a victim of it. That's why I believe it would be favorable to re-sign him for another season so that he is at best a good commodity or at worst a good player and leader for the young team.

As for the other passengers, Dadonov, Drouin, etc. I would be surprised if, in Drouin's case, the buying teams did not find better options elsewhere for the same price at 50% of his salary. For example, a team would undoubtedly prefer more versatile attackers or those more capable of playing in the bottom six like Oskar Sundqvist or Nick Ritchie who more or less 250,000$ compared to half-retained Drouin. I might be able to imagine that a team is interested in Dadonov, but again, there are better options that have more than 4 playoff games in their career and who do not seem to want to head to Russia as soon as possible. If a team offers a 6th round pick for Dadonov at 50%, I imagine Hughes will be more inclined to want to use that retention space to be a third party.

So here's my lineup to finish the season. I add Farrell and Heineman who will apparently join the team once their season is over.

Sorry, I don't buy your opinions on Monahan and Eddy. Teams around the league continuously get linked to one or the other by many different insiders, so unless you have some inside source of your own, I think I will continue to value their input over yours. As for Drouin, Dadonov, Pitlick, Armia ect, teams are always looking for cheap talent to add at the deadline and the lower the cost the better since they prefer not to move out their own players in the process, someone will take a flyer on one or two of these guys.

This is just my opinion. Teams will probably have interest in Edmundson and Monahan, but they also probably won't be willing to pay a price that satisfies Hughes because their injury situation is worrying.
