Habs Icing
Formerly Onice
I'd trade Deslauriers, Peca and Weise. Even if it's for a 7th round pick.Now that the season is pretty much over, it's time to take a look at this summer cause there's a lot of work to be done with this roster.
Armia is RFA and coming out of $1.85M contract.
Weal is UFA and coming out of a $1,75M contract.
Thompson is UFA and coming out of a $1.65M contract
Lehkonen is RFA and coming out of his ELC deal
Hudon is RFA and coming out of a 650K deal
Benn is UFA and coming out of $1.1M deal
Kulak is RFA and coming out of 900K deal
Folin is UFA and was earning 650K
Reilly is RFA and was earning 900K
Niemi is UFA and was on a 950K deal
Remember that to this day, there's only 6 rosters spot available considering only one of Poehling, Suzuki, Juulsen or Brooks makes the team.
There's probably some decision also to be made on players with deal in place for next year but are not contributing to the team's success:
Deslauriers = 1 year left
Peca = 1 year left
Weise = 1 year left
So who do you keep, Who do you let go?
Sign Armia, Weal, Thompson, Lehkonen, Hudon, Benn, Kulak, Folin.
I would let Niemi walk. With Reilly I'm wondering if we can sign him and then trade him. Even if it's for a 7th round pick.
