I like this deal if I’m the Habs. Get a 2nd rounder for increasing the cap by $2M and Habs have a ton of cap space. It only leaves 1 retain spot 2024-2025 but the increase in a trade value by retaining 50% of a Dvorak, Armia, RyJo isn’t that much anyway, so by getting a 2nd now, you lock in that value right away.
Johansen will be on an expiring contract so he may be motivated and elevate his game. Not very likely but it’s not like Allen will elevate his game next year, so this is a good trade for the Habs.
