Thanks. Well, I love Nylander as a player, so I’d be happy if that happened…but whether we will be able to fit his $10 mil contract into our cap structure is another matter entirely.

Barring other deals (e.g., Allen), CapFriendly shows Habs with $10.6575M in cap space next summer; $21.1575M if Price is LTIR'd (or better yet moved ... HEY, I can dream) ... only Montembeault, Ylonen and Barron unsigned ... Samuel being the big unknown ... either he earns the starters job and gets an extension or they have to find another goalie.

Which part makes you think so? It's highly speculative, but that was necessary in order to answer the question ...

Nylander and Holtz.

The question was something like "if you were Hughes ... what would the 2024 lineup look like?" So, he proposed signing Nylander and trading for Holtz, not an unreasonable proposal, though one that's not likely to come to fruition.

And Hughes has said nope. Moving on.
