Team: 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 12, 2024

Published: Mar. 12, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

In this scenario, the Habs make some major risk/reward moves. This is just a vision for how we can reach a better balance between Defenders & Forwards

Free Agent Signings

RFA	YEARS	CAP HIT
Krebs, Peyton	2	$1,250,000
Lundell, Anton	4	$3,500,000
Xhekaj, Arber	2	$1,400,000

CREATED		YEARS	CAP HIT
Catton, Berkley		3	$975,000

Trades

MTL

Lundell, Anton [RFA Rights]

FLA

Evans, Jake
Kidney, Riley
2024 1st round pick (WPG)
2025 2nd round pick (MTL)

Additional Details:

Similar to the Newhook deal, but the Habs send back a 3rd line center and a center prospect as well

MTL

Krebs, Peyton [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Swap of 2 players who are not meeting expectations per their draft pedigree. Habs need a forward. Sabres can use a RHD.

BUF

Barron, Justin [RFA Rights]

MTL

2025 5th round pick (CGY)

CGY

Pezzetta, Michael

Additional Details:

Something about Pez screams Calgary to me, but really anywhere for anything. A 5th seems reasonable.

Retained Salary Transactions

Jeff Petry: $2,343,750 (50%)
Jake Allen: $1,925,000 (50%)

No, we can resign Anton for a reasonable price. We have no interest in trading him.

The Lundell trade is a interresting target for the Habs.

Realistic offer in my opinion, but Panthers fans will not gonna like that....

I'd really like Lundell, but I think it would take a very serious offer to get him out of Florida.

I think Barron > Krebs, I'd rather keep Barron... maybe he would be better used as a piece in the Lundell trade.

Pezzetta is a fit in Calgary because of his style and he likes his cowboy hats haha. I see it too.

Inter division trades are pretty rare

@JONH514
As a Sabre fan one definitely would need to consider that trade.
Currently Krebs has a little more value than another RHD. as Jost is playing 4th line C since the Mittelstadt trade.
If Savoie was ready to jump to the NHL it would easier to consummate it.

I feel it's a fair deal for both teams and both players could use (but don't necessarily need) a fresh start.
