Next years roster

Created by: patnaisnyquil
Team: 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 4, 2023
Published: Nov. 4, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I see the Habs making a jump this year and its the perfect opportunity to ship guys who'll be on their last contract year. We can make room for young players and guys like Roy, Farrell, Hirvonen, Heineman, Ylonen, Mesar and Beck can battle it out at camp for a spot.

I think it'd be smarter to target Teravainen instead of Nylander. I just dont see him leave Toronto to got to Montréal. Also unless the Canes pull off some magic, I dont see how they can sign Necas, Jarvis and Teuvo. They'll need to make choices and I think he'd be a great fit with CC and Suzuki.

Hopefully Dach can take the whole year to comeback and wont injure himself again.

Id extend Monahan if he can play at least 60 games this year. Important to keep some vets around.

Hutson and Reinbacher start together on the 3rd pair and move their way up as the year goes on. Savard gets moved at TDL and Reinbacher gets a shot with Matheson. Hutson drives PP1 with Caufield, Suzuki, Slaf and Teuvo.

We have cap space so we can get paid for a cap dump or we just keep it to extend guys like Ghule, Slaf and maybe a FA goalkeeper in 2025.

Don’t want or need. Beecher more valuable to us than Dvorak.

3rd/mid level prospect would be closer but B’s have zero interest.

San Jose doesn't consider. AHL players that cost 3.4M in cap, 3.8M in salary, don't get picks in return. Sharks just keep Labanc and let him walk themselves.
Anderson, the Leaf Killer, would still be killing the Leafs as a member with his cap hit and lackluster play. They don't consider.
Dvorak would be an expensive 4th line centre for the Bruins, no reason for them to do that trade.
Edmonton also a cap strapped team, probably keep the young cheap player over the more expensive one.

Evans for Lavoie is ridiculous. Hell no we ain’t making that trade. Lavoie was on waivers and went unclaimed. He has 0 value. We still could get a 3rd and B prospect for Evans. And no that Anderson deal

You would be lucky to get a 5th for Evans. Lavoie has more upside/higher ceiling than Evans who is just a dime a dozen spare part/bottom roster type.

If you put Evans on waivers today he clears too. Learn how/why that happens before saying that determines value.

Boy stick to the bruins.. Evans is definitely getting claimed. Lavoie went unclaimed when he was there for free and youre telling me to trade a guy we like a lot and someone who could bring back something interesting for a guy with 0 value.

Better players than Evans went unclaimed. Again, learn why.

Dime a dozen bottom roster type, every team has them.

Lavoie has 29 goals last 66 AHL games. There is potential. Just called up.

Of the two i’d much rather take the chance on Lavoie than a easily replaceable guy like Evans.

Honestly the Oilers decline that trade anyway. They were pretty happy he went unclaimed.

He and Wade Allison were the two guys I would have liked Boston to take a shot at on waivers. Just did not have the space for them.

The only reason I see Evans getting unclaimed is because of his 1.7M cap hit. That being said, Evans for Lavoie is just a no brainer for us.

Exactly. Teams don’t have much cap space now. Just as teams did not have roster spots in pre-season, or contract spots available. Clearing waivers is far more about circumstance than it is value.
