Description

In hindsight I do a lot of things different (some things were easy to see at the time too such as I should have traded gallagher petry tatar at their highest value).
Anyway, result is I end up with a lack of bad contracts, I have a lot of cap room and the future is bright.

Free Agent Signings

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Caufield, Cole	8	$8,250,000

Trades

MTL

I do not re-sign Gallagher, I trade him with 1 year left at 3.75M, I can even retain 50%. I get a minimum 1st round pick.
I draft Justin barron with it. Gallagher had value, he was coming off 30 goal seasons and was still cheap.

COL

Gallagher, Brendan

2024 2nd round pick (MTL)

Revert dvorak trade. Get my pick back from Carolina. SJ picked Filip Bystedt with that so i get him too.

MTL

I traded Petry to Edmonton 50% retained for a first at the 2020 NHL draft. I pick Dawson Mercer Center at 14 OVR. EDM gets petry with 1 year left at 2.75M. they needed some D. Pick another team if you want but Petry would have easily commanded a first at that point in time.

You trade Gallagher and Petry instead of keeping them on a run to the cup finals? Interesting logic... impeccable hindsight

Yes, in the summer of 2020 there was no indication that I was going to have some miraculous finals run. You would have laughed at me if I told you we were finals bound.
At the time, I was absolutely calling to trade Petry + Gallagher + Tatar.
Oh and lets remember we didn't win the cup too, so who really cares?
