I'm happy with that. Dumont is an hard working homegrown leader and Ellis had a great second half after falling through a cliff.

 

[Richiebottles]

I hope Ellis can elevate his game to be a regular NHL call up.

Dumont is good AHL depth.

 

[Ezpz]

Ellis definitely had a good enough resurgence to earn a 1 year deal.

 

[Agalloch]

I guess they accept their QO ?

 

[The Great Weal]

Just re-sign Petry ffs

Somehow I think it take a lot more time to sign a guy like Petry over guys like this.

Just a hunch though...

Knowing the exact cap numbers might be a reason too.

Yep.

When do they come out BTW ?

 

[CupInSIX]

oh thank god

Met Ellis this past weekend, really cool guy. He obviously wants to make the leap, but he sounded happy to be playing in St. Johns talking about how the fans were awesome when they played against the ice caps. Maybe a comment or two about George street :p

For some reason I thought Dumont was not coming back but glad he is as depth.

 

[NoNachoNoParty]

Yep.

Thing is with the cap, it depends on the Candian dollar and if the NHLPA is willing to use the escalator (again?). So all the numbers that are thrown around are projections, since the cap depends on a daily changing factor and another one that could be thrown out the window with a vote.
Doing some digging, i also found this

Loonie down to around $0.81 today. At what point does next season's salary cap estimate get adjusted downward?

@JasonPHT Now. League assured governors it won't go below $71M because of business already done at higher exchange rate + TV money.

Dumont or Mitchell?

 

[Richiebottles]

Dumont... What gave you the idea I was talking about mitchell ?

 

[MXD]

In theory, they'll count for zero against the cap...

Knowing the exact cap numbers might be a reason too.

Considering these guys basically took league minimum, 2 way deals, it really doesn't have any bearing on the Habs cap number at all.

 

[QuebecPride]

As a Habs fan, I'm happy to see Dumont back. He's dedicated to the team. I think he's being very nice to the Habs org by staying, if I were him I probably would've went to Europe.

At least we know Bergevin's priorities are in the right place

That post was in reply to the Petry re-signing one.
