Speculation: 2024 UFA

Dach will always be a centre if he can stay healthy.
Hard to imagine Stamkos leaving Tampa for a short term deal at that low $... & Hard to imagine Tampa wouldn't match that.
I'd be all over offering him a deal, but I think it'll take 4yrs @8.5+ to swing that

I imagine Stamkos re-ups in Tampa. Probably 2 years at a discount.
At draft I think we trade a defenseman with some extra picks for top 6 scoring forward. Somebody like Peterka. Somebody young with size and upside. On draft floor Habs make this trade.
Draft a Demidov or Catton with our pick. Lindstrom if he there but doubtful he there.With Jets pick probably take a Parascak or Letourneau.
On July 1, Habs probably sign a leadership guy to bring into their culture also. A bottom 6 UFA center. Monahan traded, Dvorak a piece of glass, Evans no offense at all. Dach you can't tell by him. They need depth there. Ideally a good defensive center who can chip in 12-15 goals. Somebody they can flip in couple of years for decent asset when Beck is ready. Habs secondary scoring sucks this year.

If Stamkos doesn't re-sign in Tampa, he'll go to a contender.

Depending on how our defense grows next year, this team is borderline contenders with Stamkos as 2C

$7M in Tampa is closer to $5M for them to offer. Even if he did take a discount, he’s not doing it to come to Montreal on a bottom 5 team to run out his career.
Also, just for reference, Alex Killorn signed a 4 year $6.25m contract and is older than Stamkos. There is a literal 0% chance Stammer is signing a two year, $7M contract for Montreal.

No they don’t. They have Colorado’s 2nd.

That's for 2024, the draft will be passed by the time free agency rolls around, so the picks would be 2025 and beyond.No they don’t. They have Colorado’s 2nd.
If the previous poster was talking about Pettersson, you don't need a 2nd anyways, as your offer sheet will 4 1st round picks out of the next 5 years.

Definitely not a lot of meat on this UFA crop with more names surely to be signed before they hit the market. Good thing Habs have tons of cap and picks/prospects to make trades.
IF.
IF.
Montreal is not getting top free agent to sign with a non contending team and Stamkos will get over 9 million on a 3-4 year deal.....Free agents that Montreal might have a chance at are players like Mantha,Sprong,Wennberg,Kulikov,Blais those second and third tier free agents.

Hold your horses and throw it all at Draisaitl in 2025 
Stamkos is 33 years old today. I think he signs for 4 somewhere and it is probably Tampa. He still has at least 4 solid years. After that, if he signs another one it will be one year deals.

That doesn't affect this summer's RFA crop. That was last year's.No they don’t. They have Colorado’s 2nd.
I'd take a swing at Rantanen!Hold your horses and throw it all at Draisaitl in 2025
Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield
Demigod - Dach - Rantanen
Dach and Dvorak should be healthy next season to play C.
Our backup C would be Newhook on the wing.
I don't think we go for any big fish, but maybe some depth.

They need to move Dvo. He doesn't fit this team at all...

Demidov is a HAB
This won't be the off season they go UFA hunting.

I predict Dvorak be next year's Monahan. Return healthy, have decent season and we trade Dvorak at deadline for late first.
Can't really move him when he doesn't play. Unless he comes back quickly, the soonest we can move him is this summer. Even if we do so, I don't see us aiming higher than a middle 6 C to play behind Dach.
I don't see it. He never showed the level of play Monahan did the last two years.
