Lindholm = LHD
Oh, sorry; thought you were talking about Elias Lindholm from Calgary...
Lindholm = LHD
Priority #1 is getting rid of Weber and signing Hamilton,
Let Tatar walk
I assume Drouin is gone.
Trade one or both Lehkonen and Byron once you secure replacement, we have a few good UFA option at LW like Saad, Coleman, Schwartz, Hoffman, Duclair, Hall, Grandlund, Janmark, Athanssiou, Nosek
protect
Price
Chariot
Edmundson
Petry
Toffoli
KK
Anderson
Evans
Gallagher
Lehkonen
Danault or Armia
I assume we will lose Allen in the expension draft but it might also be Drouin, Weber, Byron, maybe Fleury... regardless it should not affect us very much if everything else fall in place.

Need to be all in on Seth Jones this summer. How much will he cost?

It works with Lehkonen not in the lineup and have 864k left in capspace. You can get a league minimum guy for that ad the extra forward.
Drouin I had in the deal for Lindholm with the picks and prospects.
Byron would be shipped out to a team needing speed and depth for a pick.
Saad @ 5.5
Coleman @ 3
Goodrow @ 2.4
Perry @ 1.3
Danault @ 5
Kotkaniemi @ 2.4
Though like you said Primeau is at backup which isn't ideal.
Not saying he is wash up or that he isn’t important but he won’t keep that level of play for the rest of is new contract, sooner than later he will be paid for what he has done, and not what he will bring and in a cap world that just doesn’t work, I love for Gallagher to be a habs for life, but not at the expense of our next window.I wish people would have learned from the annual "Gallagher is washed up" shtick.
He was having another excellent season until he got injured. Returned in the playoffs out of rhythm and has gradually gotten better.
We are not winning game 7 against the Leafs without him.
He scored a game winning goal in game one against the Jets.
He had a crucial interception on the forecheck and an assist on Lehkonen's goal in game four.
All this while being absolutely stellar defensively with Danault.
He is 100% the future captain of this team once Weber retires. If you think those things don't matter, look at the Leafs.
Anderson is probably playing through some nagging injury, but still is our most punishing forechecker. We are not winning game one against the Leafs without him. During the regular season he accomplished everything that was expected when we acquired him.
It's impossible for all the players to be running on all cylinders simultaneously.
Weber is barely a top 4 D and being paid like a elite player, we need to clear cap space and get rid of that contract... Hamilton would be a clear upgrade now and in the future.getting rid of Weber is not a priority #1 let alone something the organization would be willing to do IMHO.

I'm not sure you've done your calculations correctly, but even if you did, there's still Suzuki and Romanov needing new contracts after next season.It works with Lehkonen not in the lineup and have 864k left in capspace. You can get a league minimum guy for that ad the extra forward.

You won’t he’s going no wheremaybe i will eat crow but it’s not happening.
You want CocoMan here? Why? Man, he'll go on a rampage in the Mtl bar scene.sign ovechkin, trade for kuznetsov and ice a similar top line
Ovy _ Kutz - Anderson
Saad possibly gets more than that.
Coleman and Goodrow likely do, especially Coleman
you'll see fans on this board propose a sign and trade deal with Tatar PLUS a third rounder.Need to be all in on Seth Jones this summer. How much will he cost?
Wouldn't mind getting a Dougie Hamilton in the line-up. He's an RD, so a Petry, Weber, and Hamilton right side would be pretty deep.
At his season ending PC:
“I’m glad none of you (media) were allowed in the locker room and I didn’t need to give any interviews this season”
Does that sound like a guy wanting to come to Mtl?
I don’t think he leaves, especially if the options are to play under the bright lights in CanadaThat being said, I don't think Habs will get him. I think other teams have a bigger need on D than Habs do and probably have better assets to give to Canes.
I can see Leafs and Oilers be two teams that will be in on this more than Habs.
