LeBrun: Habs working on moves to clear cap space

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Or signed Edmundson at all.

For now, Edmundson has been fine.

 

[nilan30]

Finally Bergevin is doing something. About time he woke up!!!

I don't have any data to back this up but to me Bergevin seems like he is consistently one of the GMs making the most trades.

 

[Kuznetsnow]

Byron, Chiarot and Edmundson were all good signings until the former 2 got wrecked by injuries rofl. Do you just not sign players because they might get injured? Was Marc Savard a terrible signing because Matt Cooke decided to bodyslam his head?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

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

Ill chip in for the gaz

 

[Archijerej]

Did you miss the last offseason?

 

[CauZuki]

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

And since trading him is essential they'd let you through no problem...

Seriously? Let’s go boys!

 

[The Great Weal]

You are talking to the poster who wanted to trade Danault for Staal this season, he's got an irrational hate for Danault. Danault has 7 points in his last 9 games and his line has been the main reason why the Habs are doing a bit better lately. He isn't going anywhere.

 

[bretpatrick7]

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

Everything in this sentence is wrong. Allen was brought in to support Price and he has been very solid, so he isnt getting traded. Chiarot is injured so he isn't going anywhere and Edmunston isnt going anywhere because Chiarot is injured, but also because he has been very good with Petry and habs dont have much depth on Defense especially with Chiarot injured.

Sell high................sell high!!

Thank god for that. Weber you can the decline already. Petry and Edmundson have been the habs best d. Romanov has been ok. He makes some rookie mistakes, but expect that.

We are talking money and Allen is nearly getting starting money. Habs have 19% of their cap tied up in net

 

[HabsDood]

We need some money to sign Caufield..

 

[ginovegas]

We need some money to sign Caufield..

don;t think Caufield will join us right now. I think some time with the rocket will give us a better idea. Should they want to bring him up eventually Evans will probably go down

I think he's coming to Montréal, not Laval.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

I expect Caufield to play this season; so who goes?

 

[Big Empty]

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

I'd probably give up a 3rd to move Byron. If teams were holding out for more than I'd keep him.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

They're not moving Allen more than likely Lehkonen. RFA this year. Good pker, never takes a shift off 4th liner.

Expect Habs to pick up a D if they can.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I'd do a 2nd in 2021 (we have 2), but definitely not 2022.

Bergevin probably retains on him.

 

[Habsrule]

I will make this sound very much like a video game here so I apologize.

Habs traded to pick up Staal.

Danault traded to Colorado for a 1st. He is a player who I think could put Colorado over the top and they have the available cap space to easily sign him to an extension.

Trade Montreal’s 1st and a good prospect like Norlinder or Harris for Ekholm.

Currently Ekholm only makes 700k a year more than Danault.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Man if Bergy can pull a rabit out of his a$$ and get Ekholm that would be really good to balance things out.

Tatar - Danault- Gally
Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson
Toffoli - KK - Caufield
Byron/Lehky - Staal - Perry

Ekholm - Weber
Eddy - Petry
Kulak - Romanov

I'm pretty sure Berg is trying to move one or 2 of Lehky, Armia, Byron and Mete.

Armia + Struble + 2nd rounder?

Get that PMD Bergy come on!

No one is giving us a 1st for Danault. He's been playing badly this year, he's a UFA, he declined a 6mil 5year contract and publicly stated he doesn't want a defensive only role and wants to be an offensive 1st line center.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

the obvious play is that they're trying to move byron, the crazier move is that they're trying to dump tatar or danault. They also need help help at LD with chiarot injured

They’ve needed help on LD for almost 4 years before Chiarot got injured...

 

[Hostile Offer]

I don't think Byron is getting moved. Could see Weal and Lehkonen getting dumped somewhere though, maybe Chiarot as well. I don't like the contract Edmundson has but he's been a pretty good partner for Petry and they just signed him so unless Bergevin is trading for Ekholm or something I think he's getting protected at ED.

 

[jellybeans]

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

He's just a maple laugh troll.
