“I could easily see Armia taking less $$$ to stay past this season. He loves it here.”

Barre-Boulet & Pezzetta will end the season in Laval, if I had to guess.
Dvorak is as good as gone, just a question of when. I'm not sure Evans gets traded just yet, unless he doesn't want to re-sign here.
I think Savard will be traded because teams love their big, shot blocking RHD for a contending team and I think they can get a second, maybe even a first if there's a lot of teams interested.
I could definitely see Armia get re-signed, but it always depends on how much and how long.

Well that’s already better than a bunch of other coaches in the league.
I just wish he would have an NHL veteran assistant coach to support him but looks like he wants to do things his way.

Won’t work… I’m not at all concerned w Grillo brought on board & MSL taking total control of PP along w Hutson as QB.
I fully expect a top-5 PP + significant improvement in PK (aided by Becks face off prowess) + 5-on-5 defensive coverage w Grillo’s tactics
This is going to be a fascinating season to watch play out, as Habs battle it out for a wildcard spot IMO

Who's replacing him, though?
Owen Beck is going to take either Dvorak/Evans's spot. As it currently stands, the only other forward in Laval who might make a push for the NHL is Heinemen, and I think that's a longshot.
Kapanen is NHL or Europe this year, so unless he has a great camp, we won't see him in North America for another year.
Beyond that? There's nothing.
If Armia wants to stay for 1-2 years at $3.5M? I'd rather keep him than sign a UFA. My ideal situation would be to trade him over signing him, though.
