Team: 2025-26 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 14, 2023

Published: Dec. 14, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

-price comes off of ltir during playoffs to exploit the cap
-crosby signs with mtl and convinces jake too join him.
-hedman signs because he sees crosby and jake go and realize this can be a legit cup team
-roy and farrells chemistry carries into the nhl
-pinard and ylonen get nhl contracts as they are perfect for this roster and continue to improve
-also assuming all young players take a big step forward to make this work, assuming hutson is like makar when he broke out in the playoffs, and dach suzuki slaf caufield are all 20+ 70-80 pts getters
and monty primeau and price can hold down the fort

also this is prediction has wifi barron ylonen pinard on bridge team friendly deals and farrell well assuming he can be a top 6 sniper in the future is a bridge deal (he scores 20 ish goals once before the contract)

also can just play price likes 4-5 times and put him back on ltir

The delusion that Crosby, Guentzel, and Hedman sign those contracts with Montreal

The delusion that Price comes back and can lead a team on a cup run

The delusion Hutson will be like Makar

The delusion that you’d be able to play Price 4-5 games and then put him back on LTIR

Crosby would maybe sign in Montreal, but I doubt it would be as cheap as 4.5M. Guentzel will take more than 2 years. Hedman probably as well, and I don’t see him leaving Tampa

Hutson could be good, but hoping he’s going to be Makar will just have you disappointed. Should never have that high of expectations for a prospect unless it’s a generational talent like Bedard
