This isn't a joke?

I've been hearing so much about these two "huge depth signings" from delusional Habs fans for about a week now. Ahh..they're better than Jumbo and Simmonds, they wanted to play in Montreal, blah, blah, blah.

Waivers seems about right.

How sweet it is.

Its going to be really rough for them if Anderson ends the season at under a 20 goal pace....

Looks like Kapanen will miss training camp and possibly the start of the Penguins season due to immigration issues and potential quarantine.

How do you let it get this late in the process before heading back to NA?

Did he not sleep in for a Leafs team meeting?

 

[Superstar]

If the Florida Panthers are allowing 25% of fans which is about 5,000 people, how is that any different when you look at their attendance prior to Covid 19?

Welp...the girl in the middle there will have to move a few seats to her left for social distancing measures.

They should play it safe. Start small. If he gets 10 goals that's a good season

Like this game from 2013?

Report: San Jose Sharks' Evander Kane files for bankruptcy - TSN.ca

San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California after amassing $26.8 million of debt, according to a report from Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic.

Kane’s filing includes $10.2 million in assets. He signed a seven-year, $49 million contract extension with the Sharks in 2018.

The filing also included the possibility that Kane may not even play in the upcoming 2020-21 season, though he has been at Sharks camp practicing with the team. Neither Kane, nor his camp, has spoken publicly about possibly opting out of the season.

According to capfriendly, the 29-year-old has earned $52.9 million in team pay throughout his 11-year career. What may have led to Kane’s financial trouble was not spelled out in the filing, Kaplan writes.

The Vancouver native spent the first six seasons of his NHL career with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets franchise. He then played two and a half seasons with the Buffalo Sabres before a trade sent him to the Sharks during the 2017-18 season.

This would be annoying, less so if he ends up on Winnipeg as it will only be one season, worse if the Habs get him.

Wow, how the heck does that even happen?

He used his contract as collateral and the Sharks signed off on it. Never heard of anything like that happening before. The income is guaranteed, so it's a pretty safe investment, but a bizarre practice regardless.

I don't think the Habs have the capital that they'd be willing to move.

Unless Columbus wants a boatload of picks.

Miller and Benn of the Nucks are out for two weeks due to COVID.

Can see a Laine for PLD straight swap

 

[baton elevated]

Can see a Laine for PLD straight swap

unlikely, PLD worth way more than Laine. Morrisey and a 1st would have to be included and that may not even cut it.

Dubois being available is a dream come true for the Habs, you're right though I dont know how they can pull it off.

I would think they happily offer anyone except Suzuki.

Gallagher seems like a nice fit for CBJ but his age would be an issue, Romanov is nice but not as a centerpiece.

I'm sure the Jackets want a centre back and unless Kekalainen really loves Kotkaniemi or Poehling I dont see either as being enough. If Montreal really wants Dubois in the end they'll need to offer Suzuki.

 

[Le Cobra]

I wouldn’t give them PLD for anything less than Suzuki

 

[Gabriel426]

Maybe Leafs will send Dermott, Kerfoot and 1st for PLD. Lol.
Don’t know how the cap looks like after that.

It doesn't work with those guys. You'd have to bring up someone to play D. PLD is $5 mil, Kerfoot is $3.5, and Dermott is $874k... Trading Dermott doesn't save Cap, as you have to replace him with someone earning about the same... so it's adding $1.5 mil to the cap. Maybe it works with Holl instead, but the D is starting to get thin, all to get a C on your third line, that is arguably a #1C on many teams... it's a bit of a waste, though you'd love it, if it fit in.
