Wow....getting rid of 2 big contracts in one shot.....that's nice
And replaced with Alzner types

Essence of the take: Weber contract to help Yotes meet cap floor, and Drouin trade deadline fodder in his UFA season.
Net result if it comes to fruition: $13M in AAV, more than enough to sign Letang & Perron!!!![]()
One more top five pick next season and the rebuild will be in really good shape.That would be a bad idea. The draft is very deep next year, why on earth would we sign those two? Everything is falling into place, we can't start doing counter productive moves right now. Every year there are free agents, this year is not the time to be adding vets.

Still ways to go but getting close to second base
Rangers rebuild wasn't so quick
With Marty signed, the Weber and Petry trades are incoming. Hopefully we can acquire some bodies and avoid signing anyone of consequence in FA.
We will have $12 million worth of expiring contracts next year (Byron, Allen, Drouin). All this with a top pick and gobs of cap space means quick rebuild Rangers style.
The trick is to suck and get Connor, which I think may be difficult.
The Rangers rebuilt in a "New York minute" and they're one of the few teams who could pull something like that off so quickly. UFA's want to come to the Big Apple but they need to be convinced to come to Montreal.Rags rebuild was a video game
Panarin, Fox, Trouba were only going to New York
Mika was the steal of the decade
They flushed their vets in their retool and got 2 lottery picks

Huberdeau UFA
Guys like Trouba can be had in trades
etc...
It's achievable.
First year: $750k.
Second year: $775k.

Perfectly fine with it. Need to tank again.
Plus easily buried
Agreed. They don't need to start the season for their 9 game stint.I think Guhle's going to start in the league, with Harris & Barron starting in the AHL. I do think that Guhle will also spend some time in the AHL.
If it was only up to me? I'd have all three start in the AHL at the beginning of the year, and may the best of the three make the transition to the NHL.
