Should be the last day.

Semin wasn't on a 35+ contract. Streit is. When you turn 35, contract flexibility really decreases. That's the difference here. Habs won't get any cap relief unless they can trade the contract, which they won't be able to.

If it's mutual agreement, it's ok. Still, someone needs to read the CBA about Mutual termination on 35+ contract.

EDIT: We will see, but I'm almost 100% certain that he can be terminate with a mutual agreement a la Semin. I think that's what will happen. See you in 2 days...

Update. Almost a sure thing, CapFriendly said it.

35+ contract requires the following

1- Age 35+ when signed
2- Multi year contract.

Streit isn't since he signed 1 year.
Marleau is a 35+ contract since he signed 3 years.


If he was signed for multiple years, it will count on the cap regardless of the agreement

 

[Pay Carl]

Should have retired with the Cup.

Should he have? Would you pass on 1 million?

Thanks for the clear explanation.

I still recall the explanation that a 35+ contract cap-hit will stay even if the player is abducted by aliens. So defining a 35+ contract is pretty important.

700k for 2 games is pretty nice.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I can't wait till Bergevin gets fired. What a f***ing horrific GM.

 

[Agalloch]

700k for 2 games is pretty nice.

It's more 30,000ish but it's till a lot of money...

 

[llamateizer]

At the end, he still get his salary of 700k.

 

[Agalloch]

No. If they terminate the contract he will have 30,000ish. Maybe he signs for 700,000 in Europe but it will not be paid by the Habs.

 

[Foppberg]

And why would he terminate the contract? No reason to.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Bravo, Bergevin.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Signs a 40 yo for 1y/700k, proceeds to try to get rid of him after a grand total of 4 games into the season. GM of the year candidate.

 

[nhlfan9191]

I was horribly disappointed when I heard we were interested in this old bum. Was even more shocked when we just threw him a contract. This could've been avoided if we just gave him a PTO.

 

[Agalloch]

And why would he terminate the contract? No reason to.

Streit ? He will not report to Laval and most likely finish his career in Europe. We will see soon.

Man habs management is an absolute dumpster fire

 

[didimentionlarseller]

Man habs management is an absolute dumpster fire

they chose Therrien over Subban let that sink in

Therrien got fired shortly after lols

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Bergevin is such an idiot. Total waste of space signing and everyone but this guy knew it.

1 million in dead cap space money that he could have used on Markov. Long live Bergevin.....

Officialy, this is the last year of MB in Mtl........ too much bad decisions

Found this on the Habs board

 

[MissionCanucksFan]

How bout if you send Streit and 3rd

To Vancouver for Gagner

 

[steveat]

Gagner is that bad? AGAIN???

I'm in Europe now, so I rarely catch west coast games. I thought he was gonna do well after a decent season with the jackets?

 

[SlyIslands]

And why would he terminate the contract? No reason to.

You can't play in the olympics with an NHL contract

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Nashville will give you a 7th. He can't possibly be worse than Irwin or Emelin have been for us.

He is. Trust me. He can't follow the speed of game anymore.
