Lol. Here's my shot at it
Caufield -Suzuki-Slaf
Rantanen-Dach-Roy
Newhook-Beck-Anderson
RHP-Evans-Heinmann
Struble-Guhle
Hutson-Reinbacher
Wifi-Mailloux
Montembeault
Dobes
In farm, Mesar, Engstrom, Helenius, 2 firsts from '25 draft. Habs hold 2 extra first in '26 draft. Courtesy of Matheson and Savard trades.

He becomes a UFA after next season. He will be 28. Draisatil also after next season, he will be 29. So will Ekblab, Marner, Provorov, Ehlers, etc..
A lot of these guys will get signed before then though.
Perhaps if there was some realism at the outset?
I count seven or eight players listed who likely won't be in our starting lineup.

Monty--Primeau
I've removed the players I don't see as being ready for the big club in two seasons.
Not to mention at least one Dman on this list may get moved in a trade for a top 6 winger.
I'm not sold on the skill being enough to compensate for the size/strength.
The entire fourth line needs to be revamped.

You have Gally there but no Anderson, Evans or Newhook ?
Where is Barron ?
Reinbacher won't be ready in 2 years you think ?
I don't think Heinemen will ever crack the starting lineup.

Gally LTIR or bought out
Stamkos signed '24 (4yrs @9M)

To be clear, I imagine the picks are at least Cgy's 1st & a high 2nd... Not late picks

Yes, I thought of that afterwards. If we have another top 5 pick and trade it for Zegras, that would probably be a bad deal for us. Though I trust Hughes's judgement.To be clear, I imagine the picks are at least Cgy's 1st & a high 2nd... Not late picks
No doubt... Wouldn't move that pick if it was set as a top 5, but at this point I think it's very low odds that it ends up that high & would be willing to risk it for the right deal

One thing that I have learned over the decades........our future roster will look nothing like that.
This should be great news to you as that lineup is waaaaay too small.
