Le Club du Hockey Canadiens are one of the oldest and most successful hockey teams in the world and looking to get back to the promised land of winning a 25th Stanley Cup, and I believe their roster is getting close to getting there, missing a offensive superstar (could be Cole Caufield or Ivan Demidov) to pair with Lane Hutson, add on a solid number one goalie and they’re back into the fight with a vengeance. So setting up their lineup to open the season is an interest proposition. So I’m going to. However they have to shed around $6 million to be cap compliant, that’ll likely come from putting goaltender Carey Price onto Long Term Injury Reserve. It’s the last year of the contract for Carey Price before his official retirement from the NHL. A few years after that, into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
