Description

I project this as the Habs' opening game lineup. I think a battle between Lehkonen and Reway for a 3rd line role can be easily possible. I say Lehkonen ends up winning the spot after preseason games.

We also all expect a matchup between Condon and Montoya for the backup goalie job. I see both getting it done well but only one spot is available. So instead of losing a decent backup on waivers, I think Bergevin will make a trade with a team needing a net minder security (preseason injury for example). Trading Condon to San Jose for a middle round pick would be something possible in this case.

Then Redmond will clear waivers as well as Flynn.

After these moves the number of players on the roster will drop to 23 which will bring us to the 2016-17 opening game.

I think Brian Flynn is more valuable than Stefan Matteau so I would send Matteau down. Matteau does have size over Flynn though.

Yeah you do have a point on that I agree. But you got to consider though that Matteau is only 22 and isn't on waivers-exempt list anymore. I'd rather keep him on my roster than taking the chance of losing him on waivers possibly. Flynn has way more chances to clear waivers than Matteau in my opinion and if Montreal has to lose Flynn in this case, personally I would not be angry or disappointed. Montreal is overfiled of 4th line forwards. So if Flynn leaves and there's some injuries throughout the season Bergevin simply has to recall a guy like Farnham that I believe would make a bigger impact than Flynn (4th line impact).
