@mtlfansakic.bsky.social hey man, I have a question about LTIR
Say the habs start the szn w/ a 100M cap hit, then place Price on season opening LTIR.
Would they be allowed to sign another guy for $6M after the season starts? Or would they be stuck with 89.5M to play with for the rest of the szn?

After 4 games I think there's a few needs that pop out for the Montreal Canadiens.
1)a 2C
2)Bigger/Tougher forwards
3)A big solid RHD
I won't spend too much time on #1. Plenty of ink has been spilled on the subject. It will be interesting to see what assets are sacrificed to acquire this player

A big win after a getting 1/10 points in their last 10 puts the habs at 55 points with:
3 games until 4NFO
9 games until the trade deadline
IMO they need at least 5/6 pts in their next 3 to keep the dream alive.
With 60 points, they'd need 33/52 to make it. A 63 win%.

A 4 game skid of 0-3-1 puts the habs at 53 points with 5 games to go before the 4NFO.
The margins are razor thin here.
If I'm Kent Hughes, unless MTL can pick up at least 6 points in those 5 games, it's time to start looking at suitors for Savard, Evans, Armia and Dvorak and giving auditions.

9 games to the 4NFO. #Habs currently at 52 points. The goal by 4NFO to not be sellers is 60 points. Unless they completely fall apart they should hit that goal. Only 8 point required in the next 9 games.
4-5-0 or 3-4-2 would do the trick.
Hoping they can go 5-4-0 and get to 62 points, though.

14 #habs games until the 4 nations faceoff.
A couple weeks back I set a goal of 60 points minimum by the 4NFO for them to stay on a path to not sell at the deadline.
Habs currently at 44 points. 16 more points to get to 60.
8-6-0 or 7-5-2 seems attainable the way this team is playing.
