Confirmed with Link: Joel Armia signed for 2 years (2.6M AAV)

[Tuggy]

This deal will take him to UFA.

 

[Mrb1p]

Alright, alright.

 

[Adam Michaels]

A little more than what I wanted, but it's fine. So considering the players we will send down to the minors (Weise, Alzner, Peca etc). How much would we have left on the cap?

If all three are sent to the minors, they would have an extra $3.2M on the cap.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Alot of players will be gone in 2 years

 

[FrankMTL]

Ok so potentially about 10 million left with only Lehkonen to sign. I won't count Hudon as I would be shocked if her ever played for the Habs again.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Fine signing, he's a useful player. Congratulations to him on the nice little raise he earned himself.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

good! I like Armia

 

[Ozmodiar]

I was wrong. Predicted 2.5.

He should be easy to move with that contract if ever they get a nice offer

 

[Montreality]

Good deal for the 2 next season. he'll never put up major stats so he probably wont cost that much as an RFA.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Had him at 2,5M. Can't complain about 100K. He's the only guy who's got any size up front so I guess that's logic, for once.

Good deal for Armia too, though. I don't think he has any upside at all. He is what he is.

Though correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we now officially sit at 50 contracts...
I guess we'll deal a guy like Waked or Pezzetta to free a spot or two.

 

[26Mats]

For a guy that's used as much 5 on 5 by the coach he couldve asked for a bit more imo. But Im happy with this for sure.

I just hope the coach stops using him so much...

Poehling will make the team and help in that department.

 

[peate]

That's mint. Good player at a reasonable price.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Love it.

And people were freaking out that he filed for arbitration lol.

 

[CauZuki]

Nice signing, I want 3x2.25M for Lekhonen and I'm happy.

Poehling and Armia. Now that's what I call a team with a heavy forecheck!

Plus we have to sign Lehkonen, which will cost about the same.

From capfriendly, i estimate after Lehkonen signs, we'll have between 4.5 and 5.5 million in cap space.

 

[Tanknation]

I don't think Lek's should get more than 2 million. Just my personal opinion

Capfriendly has the Habs at 45 contracts.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Sounds good.

Can't complain about the Tatar Danault Gallagher line 5 on 5. They're one if the better two way lines in the league.

Then we have Lehkonen, Poehling and Armia in three of the remaining four top 9 wing spots. I still prefer only one of Armia and Lehkonen in the top 9. But Julien loves the...

If they do 8 D with Juulsen and Poehling makes the team, with Weise, Peca, Alzner, in the AHL then we have 7,981,891 in cap space minus Leks.

 

[Tabarouette]

it's fine, and the cap hit only matters if you assumed we would spend the money left... which nothing indicates we will now that Aho is off the table, just like the last 2 seasons

 

[Zorba]

Sign leks. Summer over. Get ready for training camp
