CH: une transaction annoncée sous peu - TVA Sports

As much as I don't like Renaud Lavoie, he's been pretty spot on with his reports lately.

Google Translate:

The Montreal Canadiens would soon announce a transaction that was concluded during the draft, reports our informant Renaud Lavoie.

After a hectic repechage, the work of the general manager of the CH, Kent Hughes, has only just begun. Canadians are currently exceeding the salary cap and must trade contracts to comply.

This is among other things why the organization did not submit a qualifying offer to young striker Rem Pitlick, who could have obtained a salary too high for the taste of the leaders thanks to his arbitration rights.

Rumors continue to swirl about defenseman Jeff Petry. The Athletic reporter Pierre Lebrun linked him Tuesday morning to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Several teams are currently feeling the urgency to free up space on their payroll as the free agent market opens on Wednesday, July 13.

Who could it be ? Petry ? Anderson ? Allen ?

That’s weird. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before.

It could be something like agreed in principle but pay the signing bonus,

Theres a couple flags for it being Petry,

1) He's got a signing bonus
2) He wasn't as spoken about during the post draft press conference

Petry makes sense for Carolina after moving Tony Douchangelo out

 

[JKG33]

I would say this is 100% signing bonus related

For what purpose would it not be announced yet?


Michael Dipetro? because they were waiting for Canucks to qualify offer first?

He was highly speculated to go to Montreal in a trade a bout a week ago

 

[Colezuki]

why would they wait? money isnt an issue?

Signing bonus is still 3M they don't need to pay and doesn't impact Cap, for most businesses they still want to save money

 

[goldRIVER]

why would they wait? money isnt an issue?

Why not wait a few days to save 3 millions?

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Dubas acquiring Price.

 

[Treb]

Pretty sure the owner would be happy to wait a week to save 3 million dollars.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Why not wait a few days to save 3 millions?

why wait and allow a team come in and out bid you?

That’s weird. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this before.

There was a similar aspect in the Freddie Andersen trade. Jonathan Bernier was clearly supposed to be a part of it but it was for a pick at the 2016 draft and they had to wait until after July 1 for Bernier's SB to be paid, where he was then dealt to Anaheim for basically nothing.

anderson is not going anywhere

Signing bonus related, who on the habs has a signing bonus being paid out soon? Petry?

 

[MadeUpName]

Petry to Carolina makes a lot of sense. What is the cost?

 

[Prairie Habs]

I hope McDavid likes poutine.

 

[Stealth JD]

We need more mystery deals in the NHL. Make trades, but don't announce them until the last moment possible - training camp!

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

Bad faith and for a new gm like Hughes to pull out of an agreed deal would not be good prob.

 

[hardcorehabs]

3 million is a nice chunk of change to save.

Curious, is there a place online that has these dates? I see the signing bonus on Capfriendly but no date with it. Or was it just reported.

If it's petry its doubtful, there was a lot of rumbling around him wanting out due to Covid and Canada restrictions as his wife and kids returned home. Sounds like he wants to go to the US

i guess but it wouldnt be good business to sell lower than you are offered elsewhere, either.
