We should make room this year for one. Do you really want to have like 3-4 rookies in the lineup at the same time.
He's got the potential to do it, still only 22. We won't get him so it's irrelevant.
He really doesn't...unless it's a fluke season.
Regarding Dzingel and other players of that caliber I would sign them to 1-2 year deals if I could as I fully expect us to be out of playoffs by TDL and they'd fetch a decent return.
Imagine if we have Simmonds(I know he signed), Dzingel, etc... on 1 year deals. That's a fair return come TDL.

Suzuki should be called up later in the year 2019-2020 and make the team out of camp in 2020-2021
Poehling should challenge for a spot at training camp this year
Caufield should be called up later in the year 2020-2021 and make the team out of camp in 2021-2022

Lets offer sheet Provorov FFS! Flyers are players in the hostile offers anyway and we need quality LDs.

1-2 year deals are perfect for us because it's two years from now that we'll need the cap space. I'd happily give MoJo 8 million for one year rather than go into the season with 8 million in cap space. Plus, we could move him at the deadline for picks after Suzuki's spent the first part of the season in the A.

"He refused to sign with us." "UFA are hard to sign." "Taxes" "Snow" "Was a Buffalo fan growing up"... Anything but MB's fault.

Such a signing would have been good for us for at least 2 years. 1. He would be a good winger for KK on the 3rd line. Second, and more importantly, we could get really good picks for him at the TDL next year. It's like free picks without giving up assets. Plus we could trade Byron for a 2nd...
All these 2nds over the last 3 years have really paid dividends. Brook, Romanov, Struble, plus potentially Ylonen, Ikonen, and Olofsson becoming something.

We entered free agency 6 days ago and 13 million $ of cap space unused after the Shaw trade...
We're still no better than we were. I get that the kids leave a lot fans optimistic, as it should be, but could we, for once in a lifetime, have a GM that does his job too?
We were 2 points shy of a playoff spot and we keep signing depth players. Our pp was 30th in the league and we've added 0 help. Our 3 left-handed defensmen had 13, 17 and 22 points last season and we still haven't gotten anyone.
What are we doing? Seriously? This feels like 2017 all over again. If there's no big trade soon, this off-season will have been a disaster.
I want to be patient and I know comments like "I dIdN't KnOw We WeRe OcToBeR 5tH" are coming, but we haven't had any hard rumors since Aho.

Don't we have enough Marcus Johansson's in Montreal already? This team needs firepower, 1st line or 1st pairing players, not 2nd/3rd line depth players.
I'm happy we didn't waste cap space on him.
Cuz he’s not what we need??

MoJo and the 2nd we get from trading Byron, plus the picks we get next year at the TDL for trading MoJo to make room for Suzuki and the young guys
versus
keep Byron.
Take your pick.

Justin make me proud
I'll admit that MoJo had decent playoffs but he benefitted from easier matchups. I'm still not a fan and I don't think we missed out on much, especially given his fragile health.

Yeah let's go into season with over 8 million in cap space instead of "wasting it." That's a good use of cap space.
I’ll take Byron any day. 4.5 for MoJo is dumb
Byron averages as many or more goals per game over the last 3 year and is a terrific penalty killer
Either get a first line player or just stop signing crap

Fair enough for the Byron versus MoJo alone comparisons. We can agree to disagree on that.
But what about the 2nd you get from trading Byron?

Do you guys think maybe the Aho offersheet helps us because it shows Max Domi that if he puts up 83 points this year he shouldnt be looking for a dime over 8.4?
It shows a lot more: It shows that the habs don't mind giving short term deals that lead to players becoming UFA as early as possible. Also, that they don't mind paying up front which advantages the players for the next CBA negotiations.
Can anyone confirm / explain this ?
"The Winnipeg Jets have already lost quite a bit of their talent on their blueline as the team has already lost Tyler Myers, Jacob Trouba and Ben Chiarot this offseason with little in return other than Neal Pionk. However, because Pionk filed for arbitration on Friday, the Jets could lose another defenseman off their roster. The Athletic's Murat Ates points out that Pionk and Copp filing for arbitration opens up a second buyout window for Winnipeg in three weeks, which might suggest that the Jets could consider buying out defenseman Dmitry Kulikov when that happens. The 28-year-old."
Does it have something to do with having TWO players filing for arbitration ? If I'm not mistaken, Lehkonen and Armia are going to arbitration as well...does this mean the Habs could have a second window to buyout Weise/Alzner ?
Habs would have a second buyout window because they have players who filed for arbitration.

You bet. I wouldn’t be shocked if this was planned either. Coincidentally two of the arbitration players have the same agent as Aho
