This is impossible. There’s only 3 retention slots and you’ve used 4

Carter would run out at the end of the 2024 season So for 2023/2024 the Habs would have 2 in Eddy and Carter then 2024/2025 theyd have 2 in Dvorak and Savard which would both expire that offseason

If the Habs dont have the most man games lost in nhl history again then i could see them just outside the top 10

Would be wise to look to trade Hoffman (with retention and/or packaged with a 4th or later if necessary) to avoid carrying dead cap into 2024-25, it would work with the amount of retention slots. I like the sentiment behind these moves. Hopefully Hughes can conjure these types of assets once Price hits LTIR

I think Drury considers that offer but I'm 50/50 on if I can see him taking it. Laf is a roster player so he's probably gonna want a low-cap RW in return, but then again the pure value of the return is a lot and definitely worth considering.

It seems that Montreal fans can never figure out that Minnesota's GM has basically but flat out said he doesn't want anything to do with Monahan. Zero chance you get a 1st from us for that steaming pile.
