I like your picks. But i honestly think that Toffoli and Monahan will both go elsewhere. Usually players and GMs don't take players they moved already unless they are absolutely perfect. I think Brett Pesce will be brought in from the Canes. I think we trade Matheson and make him at RD 1 with Guhle at LD 1. I think we trade Matheson for a top 6 like Schmaltz draft either Catton Eiserman Iginla or Lindstrom and boom. Top 6 has been made and we still have a great 1-2 combo. Then Pesce is moved either when his contract is over or if Hutson comes in and proves he can be a #1. Then move Guhle to the 2 at RD and get maybe a starter or another forward+prospect.

Someone you can flip at the deadline. Montreal is not a destination for premium free agents and they won't be contending next season. Maybe the season after. You've probably got one last top 10 pick in 2025, then the premium draft picks will dry up. Someone like a Tyler Myers who would be a good depth pickup at the deadline but who would probably not get much money from anyone else. Pacioretty is interesting, a good veteran to mentor some of these guys with a big connection to the city, who might again be flipped at the deadline.

Yup for sure!
