Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 1 hour ago, DON said: I dont think anyone thinks they would sign a high $$ UFA; even if they did have the cap room. But, without seeing what trades they make in June/July, i wouldnt predict horrible, more 'weak' or thin roster is almost a guarantee. Maybe middle of pack if Caufield-Suzuki-Anderson etc all have big years, Guhle, Harris or Barron can play simple/solid hockey and have a 1/2 decent tender, a healthy Price might work and avoid a ton of injuries. I tend to agree that they won't be looking at any big free agent signings this summer. The big challenge will be the Price and Gallagher contracts. I think we are stuck with both. Hopefully Gallagher will have a bounce back year next year. I think Gallagher will work hard this summer and be ready next year but nobody else wants to pay him 6.5M/year unless he can really turn things around which is doubtful but possible. I still think Petry has value, not sure about Hoffman and Armia, those will be tough to get rid of. Drouin will likely have a career year as he is in his contract year so he should have some value at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Goaltending is the giant question mark for next season. It might be the difference between a bubble team and a team well into the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
