Now that the Canadiens have two Goalies on their TS available for emergency recall, this changes things.

Their Cap hits are:

Primeau: 880K
Lindgren: 750K

Should the Habs Emergency Recall Lindgren instead of Primeau, they'd have enough Cap space to call up Caufield too. https://twitter.com/CapFriendly/status/1384897048051335170
How?

The Canadiens currently have 2.06 M in Cap Space right now.

Emergency Recall on Primeau would put them at 1.18M in free space.

Emergency Recall on Lindgren would put them at 1.31M in free space.

Caufield Cap Hit? 1.308M.

Habs would have 2K in LTIR space.
So how could this work?

Primeau gets ER and gets the start on Friday, and then sent down right after the game.

Lindgren would then be ER on Saturday to backup Allen, allowing for Caufield to also be recalled.

10 games left after Saturday, just call him up.
