Initial Creation Date: Aug. 25, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I feel like this (2024-25) is the season that the habs will find what they need to *try* and be a playoff team, though I do feel like this D core is way too young to compete in the playoffs.

The fate of this team for the next 10 years depends mainly on development of their current group of prospects soon to make the jump, so we’ll see…

The trades are not thought up very much - just some players I would target to fill the gaps.
