Imagine what could happen if Demidov played with real top 6 talent for a whole season.

I said next year. Wright had more value last year as well. They’re one year apart.
If DR doesn’t establish himself in the NHL next year, I’m not sure his value would be higher than Wright right now.

More? He’s already only playing 13-14 minutes per game.

Nothing stopping the Habs from playing him on the first like if they want. I still think we’ll see more Slaf with Demidov.

That’s what I mean. If they continue playing him in limited minutes they can expect his trade vale to decrease further.

Does this impact player $alaries / $pending to cap ? Open up trade opportunities?
Many teams simply dont generate the revenue to spend to the expected cap in 1-2 years
The rich teams will have an advantage if they manage the cap smart

Even the Leafs have trimmed fat from corporate and hockey operations
Some player perks have been eliminated as well
