Shaw will probably retire soon. As for Alzner, let's hope for a compliance buy out in the 2020 lock out.

 

[Rockomax]

great, we are still stuck with Alzner and Shaw ****ty contract.

Had already been reported that Alzner wasn't going to be bought out. In any case, we have space, no need to buy them out now, we can buy them out in later years if need be and face milder consequences on the cap. Shaw will probably end on LTIR. If Alzner sucks as bad as last year, just bury him in Laval.

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Too bad, was hoping theyd buyout dumbass MB.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Was really hopping for an Alzner buy.. that really sucks

Buying out Alzner would be tantamount to Bergevin admitting that he made a mistake when he signed him. Anyone who knows the first thing about Bergevin's ego could tell you that this will never happen.

I had hope, lost that hope.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Buying out Alzner makes no sense at the moment. We don't need the cap space and it'd mean his contract is on the books for another 2 years.

Give him another year, maybe he improves and has a better year.. or most likely he has another awful year and just improves our draft pick.

 

[De Montreal]

I knew we wouldnt buy out Alzner or Shaw but I was thinking maybe Schlemko

 

[Redux91]

great, we are still stuck with Alzner and Shaw ****ty contract.

Dude as IF those contracts would be bought out are you insane, do you have any idea what kind of dead money wed have on the cap for the next 7 years?

Agreed, Shlemko was the prime candidate... i was looking over the team stats last year and i couldnt believe shlemko was even WORSE than i thought...

 

[G0bias]

Just tank baby.

 

[Sorinth]

There's no point in buying out Alzner this year. We don't need the cap space so you might as well ride it out until you actually need to make room.

Bergevin is going for ROR, signing patches, signing plek, etc. you will probably need to buyout Alzner if he can't play for shit like last year.

 

[GHJimmy]

That cap space after buying out Alzner we could happen to hit a decent any position before or at deadline..

How do you know that Shaw will retire? lol

 

[NobleSix]

Alzner is one of the worst defensemen in the league.

[WeThreeKings]

Alzner helps the tank.

''Shaw will probably retire soon''

Hes 26
why would he retire?

 

[Pacciosoftie]

''Shaw will probably retire soon''

Hes 26
why would he retire?

Maybe because he values his life more than his job. Dude has serious concussion issues

 

[JSR 56]

why would we expect a buyout with all the cap room we have

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Maybe because he values his life more than his job. Dude has serious concussion issues

They said 6 months in April who knows
