Value of: Dump Your Salary in Montreal

[SnuggaRUDE]

I'd get creative.

I'd sign a bunch of UFA (under 35) with a weird contract structure.

2018-2019:0.75M
2019-2020:0.75M
2020-2021:6M
2.5M cap hit


We wont be competitive until 2020.

I'd buy them out after year 2.

We would get a 1.5M credit per player for 2020-2021 season to spend more.

Do you want sanctions for cap circumvention? Because that's how you get sanctioned for cap circumvention!

 

[Hockey Stick]

I wonder what montreal would want to take on the rest of hortons contract. Bracco+2nd plus something else?

The Bracco/Carrick/Zaitsev + 2nd stuff carry little value these days

 

[crazyd74]

Montreal Nordiques

I resent that.

 

[Legend123]

Decent offer.

U mean godsend offer. We get rid of the useless shaw and add a decent prospect who can still find his game in the A

 

[brokenwolf88]

Zaitsev isn't our bad contract. Its Horton. Leafs should be moving heaven and earth to get rid of Horton.

 

[ohmyjlord]

Zaitsev isn't our bad contract. Its Horton. Leafs should be moving heaven and earth to get rid of Horton.

Well, now that you've put it that way...I guess we could take him off your hands for Matthews.

Well, now that you've put it that way...I guess we could take him off your hands for Matthews.

I'd give any of Leivo, Carrick, Bracco, Borgman and a pick to get rid of him. Any combination of those players would do wonders for the leafs.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Horton (able to be LTR but contract is uninsured)

What would the cost *really* be for that?

 

[Maple Leaf]

Staal, Smith, Belesky

 

[mariolemieux66]

Berglund with Alex Nylander for Andrew Shaw (C/RW)

Sign me up!

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

As a Panther fan, I'd give up a ton to get a retained Price. And Petry also.

I don't think the Habs would retain anything over 2 million

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

I don't think the Habs would retain anything over 2 million

Make it 3million and I'd over pay a fair bit.

 

[euhchepas]

I don't think the Habs would retain anything over 2 million

habs wouldn't retain anything on price contract
cap rentention over 8 years is a really bad idea

 

[HOPE]

Make it 3million and I'd over pay a fair bit.

His contract is way too long to consider retaining 3M, that mean wich ever goaltender we sign in the next few years would be +3M you, the price you would pay better be alot

 

[The Great Weal]

Make it 3million and I'd over pay a fair bit.

Price is a great contract at 7.5.

For 2 million? I don't think it's a big deal.

 

[Pyrophorus]

With Weber not returning till mid December and likely needing conditioning time, Petry is not going anywhere. If Weber returns in fine form and is the same Weber, We can talk a Petry trade before the deadline. However, we are getting a return that makes sense for the Habs, not the Leafs. The price? A 1st and a grade A prospect. Petry is a big body with mobility and some goal scoring ability. He does a lot of things well and his contract is very good for 3 more years.

I can see why you are interested. I also agree he would fit well on the Leafs. However, It sucks that you will have to trade futures to get him.

Think about this? How is this really going to work out.
Has to try to be a win-win. Trades aren't made like this...and we're dealing with Bergevin.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Not many teams would be interested and have the cap space for Price. I would take a 1st, prospect and 3 years max contract dump for Price and move on. Please do not retain for 8 years unless its for 500K.

Really bad idea.

I laugh to see Nathan Horton, the big bad Bruin, end up as a Hab!

$2.5 million doable if we add a sweetener? Cap is going up by a bit in the next 3-5years.

Price is a great contract at 7.5.

For 2 million? I don't think it's a big deal.

Ya I'd do 2 million but add to get it to $8million final.

I'd gladly give a 2019 1st, Heponiemi + Reimer + McGinn.
Add a 2020 2nd + Petrovic or McCoshen to add some more retention.

Just to see Luongo back up Price and hopefully get a ring for Lu before he retires.

I can live with a mil retained for Price(9.5).
Heponiemi, Reimer, McGinn, McCoshen and 2019 1st for Price.

 

[AndreRoy]

With a season that already looked to be in the tank, it now seems inevitable that the Habs will be prime candidates for a lottery spot.

With a projected 12 Mil in cap space from capgeek and nothing to spend it on this season and potentially next because no one wants to play here, are there any teams that would be interested in dumping salary + assets (picks/prospects) in order to free up some space? And if so what would those deals look like?

Is someone like Ryan Callahan a player Tampa would like to move to free up space and what would they potentially move in a deal that would include him?

Is something like Callahan + 3rd in 2019 + Mitchell Stephens ridiculous? Or would Tampa be able to unload Callahan and pick up assets for themselves?

Callahan almost certainly has Montreal on his no-trade list. In any event unless we’re getting Karlsson we don’t need to move Cally this season and possibly not even next season. Most likely we’ll keep him this year and trade him to somebody like Buffalo next year.

 

[BigHabs]

Price
Byron

For

Reimer
Matheson - offset Price’s 8yrs with his 8yrs.
McGinn
1st round pick

This season the salary would be even at around 11million.

Next year Reimer’s and Matheson’s contracts would still keep it at 8.22 off the books to help lessen Price’s salary.

I think with Florida’s offense and decent defense, with a great goalie they could really do some damage.
