Team: 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 18, 2024

Published: Mar. 18, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Habs win Celebrini or Lindstrom and they send the player one more year in the minor! They also draft Sacha Boisvert with their second 1st rounder.

24-25 is another transition season where the Habs mostly play vets to trade them at TDL for picks and prospects if possible. They test both Newhook and Dach at the center position and with Roy. They also test if the Caufield Suzuki and Slaf line can play at near the PPG rate. Mostly finish the season close to the bottom 10 and get another top 15 pick : William Moore or Caleb Desnoyers.

Would you be ready to wait a full year before adding our new 1st or 2nd overall to our team?

Would only do this with Celebrini. The rest no because they’re not ready. We don’t want to burn the kid like Kk 2.0.

So Celebrini for a second year in BU wouldn't be a surprise?

BU isn't a challenge for him, AHL most likely to start the year would make sense but calling him up at some point for 9 games also makes sense. Performance should dictate his fate on the team.
