Will probably need another dman

There is no way that even in the hottest parts of hell, NSH would do this

what would need to be added?

to replace who?

There’s zero pressure in NSH to move Saros. You’d really have to supply an overpay to us with the centerpiece being your 2023 1st. I don’t see any other way about it

To replace bottom pair. Maybe they could sign a guy like Toews or Theodore.

you don't rate kovacevic and trudeau?

this is in 2026-2027... and in a scenario were your new first goalie needs to be pay and we offer you two developed harris and farrel. is that still not to your liking?

Assuming every single prospect/young player meets/surpasses their potential

not every prospects. i think guys like tuch, mesar, kidney, norlinder, primeau and smilanic are all going to underperform and not get to the big league

In order to hit these prices in their first RFA deal, that means basically all of the prospects you're paying have already ended up as top 5-10 players in their draft class. Highly unlikely considering by most sources the habs prospects aren't rated that highly. Lots of decent quantity, but lacking in top tier quality

who do you think is overpayed? i'm curious to see because i haven't given big contracts to guys with little upside. the three unproven guys with contracts are fantilli, hutson and reidenbacher. do you think the are less likely to attain the level i've put them to?

Based on how I project them: Dach (on a bridge deal) Slaf (on his current trajectory), Fantilli, Hutson, Guhle, Reinbacker, at least one of Roy/Beck.

Ah. I thought this trade was meant to be near this year, while the roster reflected a 26-27 team. I’d assume that by 26-27, that Saros may have already been moved or walked in FA
