LeBrun: Habs working on moves to clear cap space

[Jumptheshark]

I can see the Habs MAYBE moving Allen to the Sabres? Or trying to find a home for Edmondson or Chiarot

this is 1000% not happening. i promise you

 

[HuGo Sham]

I haven't really watched the Canadian division, why would they dump Tatar or Danault?

Edit: I just can't imagine that Staal is an upgrade to any of those players.

caufield about to be eliminated, lol and up until a few games ago--danault has not been better than stall..
but you're right - unlikely either gets moved

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Bargain Bin clearing space for his next set of 4th line grinders, 3rd pairing slow Dmen...wash, rinse, repeat...

 

[Papa Francouz]

The Avs are still available to take Danault off your hands

 

[ole ole]

All depend on what we give up i guess.

 

[Breakers]

They're fine for time

Caufield has to quarantine

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Staal to the Habs for a 3rd and 5th round picks.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Doesn't Montreal have like 2M in capspace left which should be more then enough fro Staal(and his pro rated 3.5M contract)?

According to Capfriendly Montreal only has $822,000 at the TDL to make any moves. So Bergevin wants to clear out more space.

...perhaps he shouldn't have signed a 4th liner like Byron to a 4 year, $3.4 mill per deal, then...or paid Chairot about twice what he's worth...

 

[McJedi]

Who would take Byron's contract though

Any team the Habs give up enough picks to in order to absorb his contact.

Or signed Edmundson at all.

I mean he's a 4th liner payed about 1.5 million too much for 2 years. Prbly cost a 2nd at this point.

I bet it costs more. Add a 4th to that. Or just 2nd in 2022 instead.

The extra 4th is negligible to the Habs at this point. Even after the Stall trade we still have 12 picks this year and had something like 40 over the past 3 years.

 

[BLONG7]

Or signed Edmundson at all.

Eddy has been real solid for the Habs, and a plus 24 to lead the team...

At this point Im about to drive him all the way to Colorado myself

habs should be using those 2021 picks to shed bad deals. 2021 picks don’t carry as much value as usual so the pick compensation may look odd to us.

Allen is their real #1 goalie this year, not the 10.5M guy - he's not going anywhere.

I mean aside from Byron we don't have any bad contracts to move. Like we need Price.

A few of those 2021 picks should be sufficient to send Byron packing.

Allen isn't going anywhere. He's been great. He might go in the expansion draft, as they expose him over Primeau, but as far as this season goes I'd be shocked if he moved.

Lol what ? Allen hasn't won a game in like 2 months

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Why would any team want to help out MTL by taking a bad contract if they're only being offered a 2nd round pick? It'd take multiple 2nd's or a 1st before I'd even consider taking a player with term

 

[Tanknation]

Who would take Byron's contract though

Danault is going to be traded soon along side Byron.
