The Montreal Canadiens have built one of the most fascinating salary cap structures in the NHL, but what do the players really think about it?
On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we take a closer look at the Canadiens' core and the philosophy that's shaping the future of the organization.
Did players such as Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and others intentionally leave money on the table to help Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton build a deeper, more competitive roster? And if the Canadiens eventually add a star player who earns more than anyone currently on the team, could that create tension inside the dressing room?
We break down the reality behind NHL contracts, salary cap strategy, team culture, and why the idea that a new player making more money would automatically upset the Canadiens' core might be completely overblown.
Can Montreal's long-term cap planning become one of the organization's biggest competitive advantages? We discuss why the Canadiens may be better positioned than many fans realize.
