Need to let Danault walk. If they sign him he's just too much of a safety blanket for coaches and we're going to use KK as a 3C for a 4th year in a row.
I believe both Leguerrier and Ruscheinski have to be signed today, right?Posted it in the Ikonen thread, but Joni has confirmed that the Habs will not sign him before June 1st before they lose his rights.

Any confirmation on Leguerrier? I obviously don’t expect Ruscheinski to be signed

LeGuerrier did okay with Laval the few games they played him . Nothing special enough to be worth an ELC though.
They could, he didn't look too out of place like I said, there's some moderate potential there. I'm pretty sure he'd take that offer too, it's probably as good as he'll get. 70k is good money for most people, heck it's more money than I'm making that's for sure !Maybe they offer him an AHL deal (I believe he needs to re-enter the draft first).
I remember them doing that with Josiah Didier back in the days.

Because we want to get better NOW
Hard to do when you're completely capped out.
Tatar, Drouin, Armia, Merril, Staal, Gustafsson, Byron...
That's a lot of money we can get rid off
Danault needs an extension
Petry's extension will kick in.
Suzuki extension is coming.
Kotkaniemi extension required.
Tatar won't be re-signed, that's fine that still needs to be replaced.
Drouin would be a money out - money in situation only as he's a completely undesirable asset with a big cap hit for little production in a flat cap.
Armia would need to be replaced, you're saving barely anything on a replacement.
Byron would be a cap dump and an expensive one at that, doubt they do that.
Merril, Staal and Gustafsson are all retained salaries and need to be replaced in the line-up, savings are miniscule.
There's not as much room as you think.
Still I think we can make space for a decent addition
Armia can easily be replaced by Ylonen
You can't count on Ylonen though, he's got 30 games in North America under his belt, he should be in Laval next year unless he has a great camp.
You can't count on Armia for sh*t either... So what's your point?
I'd rather have a guy with upside who makes less than 1M$ a year than Armia at 2,6 M$/year
That's how you make space on your cap (by bringing youngsters in)
My god Saad is not worth 6.5m and Hyman is not even close to be worth that. Those are secondary line players which we are already full of them@BigDaddyLurch Why not Saad and Hyman? If we don't bring back Danault and Tatar we could potentially fit both guys in 6.5m for Saad and 5m for Hyman. we would be stacked on both left and right wing. They would also add size too. I only posted here because I knew the mods would move my post here from the Drouin thread lol.
Caufield Gallagher and Anderson are all RW.Don't get why some people are saying Tatar needs to be replaced. We have Caufield now. We have a full top-6 with Suzuki/KK/Caufield/Gallagher/Toffoli/Anderson and a solid 3rd line (Danault, Evans, Lehkonen). That's not even counting Drouin and Armia.
On the 4th line you've got Byron, Poehling, Perry, Belzile, Vejdemo and whoever.
(I know some of these guys need new contracts like Lehky, Danault, Perry but I'm assuming it gets done, Armia is less sure)
If we have 5-6 million in cap space after signing everybody we need to put it towards a top-4 puck moving defenseman, not a Tatar replacement.
