Reinbacher for McTavish. Who’s in?

Hutson/Bolduc also need new contracts. Going to need some ELCs in the lineup next year.

Cap will be rising by $25M over next 3 seasons, also:
- after this season Price + potentially Matheson + Laine > $24M
- after 26-27 season: Anderson + Gallagher = $12M

Hutson‘s contract will be in $8M range, and Bolduc will not be making bank….Habs are fine cap wise for foreseeable future

Habs are fine but they can’t start fucking it up because now personnel decisions mean more

The easy part of phase 1 of the retool / rebuild is nearly over

Anyone can unload aging vets and trash players with no expectation or cap issues

Now Hugo has to prove they can build a sustainable contender keeping an eye on the cap , draft and prospect capital.

McTavish won’t cost Redenbacher..

Verbeek has the owner breathing down his back, was for the first time in his 20yr+ ownership involved in end of season presser and made it clear his expectations are team will be competing for a playoff spot this upcoming season

There is zero chance Verbeek will take a chance at starting the season w a disgruntled player in the room - reports are McTavish is looking at ending up a 3C and not being in a position to put up top-6 numbers for his upcoming contract $$$$$

So if there’s any chance McTavish is disgruntled he’ll be dealt IMO.. package will include Matheson + …

Ducks weak link is LD - neither Mintyukov or Zellweger are ready to assume 20TOI+ on a regular basis, Matheson would provide that transition.

MM a rental isn’t moving for Mac , Verbeek will get better offers

Trouba and Gudas are short term bandaid. Reinbacher would be a permanent solution. Only prospect on the right they have is Trunesu.

Verbeek is in desperation mode / trying to stay employed now that his boss who has NEVER been involved in any public capacity wrt to hockey, all of a sudden after 20yr+ of ownership is engaged in press conferences talking about how the team will compete for a playoff spot this upcoming season.

Kreider & Trouba acquisitions are clear signs, future is now - Ana misses playoffs again, theres a good chance little ball of hate is gonzo

I think they’re off to a pretty good start on those fronts.

Can't see how trading their best player would help

That’s the problem with most rebuilds, owners growing impatient. Habs executed almost perfectly so far.
