If it’s truly down to MTL and WPG it behooves the Habs to wait. If Jake has shortlisted these two the longer they wait the more likely price will come down even if it’s just slightly. If WPG blinks first and signs him then MB should consider OS’ng either Laine or Connor because they have roughly $22M in cap space to sign those two, morrissey, pionk and copp - Turnitaround
Bergevin should just hang on to the cap space. Valuable commodity right now. Toronto not the only team willing to give up major assets to stick around the playoff bubble. A 1st to unload one season of Marleau's contract? That is incredible. Wpg, Washington, Vegas are all in trouble.
