Speculation: Off-season UFAs

[BLONG7]

I think we keep Phil, hopefully around 4-4.5M max.....I also think Armia stays, and Leks goes....
One interesting note......top 50 ufa's listed on Capfriendly, has Tatar at 21 but Phil is nowhere on their list.....just noticed this.

 

[jaffy27]

1 year perry at 1m max ore bye
3 years Armia at 2.5m or out
4-5 years Danault at 4m or less or out.

The rest , out no need of garbage

Yes
Yes
And Yes

oh…and yes

 

[AntiCHrice]

Perry is the only one I want back for sure. At 1M$ he's a no brainer. I like Danault/Armia as well but I'm wondering if a Evans/Poehling combo can do the same job at a fraction of the price

If you used the same parameters I did, they're ranked by their actual salary cap, Danault is 57th cause of that.

Sportsnet had him at #11 on their list.

After a short off season with lots of healing, a deep roster next season may be just as important, if not more so than this season.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

I would keep Perry if the money is right. Danault will hit the jackpot at probably 5 mil./yr. I see all the other UFAs hitting free agency. I would try to target a LD and LW.

 

[abo9]

We are paying 12M combined for Gally and Anderson per yearm until 2027. Thats about 100 M total !

If we can even unload one of these contracts somehow it could prove to be helpful with our cap issues and help us towards another cup run.

They were signed last year and the team made the stan'ey cup finals... no way even one of them gets traded

Sounds like a logical scenario.

I also see Danault and Perry extended.

I get the same sense with Armia as you. He may be back, he may have to be "sacrificed" because of cap reasons.

I hope for Brandon Saad. One of my UFA targets for sure.

With the rumor that Habs were interested in DeAngelo at the TDL, I can see them go for him this off-season once he's bought out. But curious if he wants to come to a market like Montreal's, where there is more scrutiny here than for the Rangers (who have other big sports to compete with).

I'm perplexed by DeAngelo. On the one hand, I want the hockey player. But the person and his baggage, maybe it'll work with the leadership and veterans in Montreal. But I'm not 100% sold on his personality.

For DeAngelo, I wonder, Habs can probab'y sit with him and explain to him what they expect off-ice. And that he's got a veryyyyy short leash.

i guess that type of leverage depends on how seriously he still wants an NHL career, and how many teams are interested. Espceially if we resign Perry, I think we have a group that cna keep him "au pas"

 

[Jabba11]

f*** off with DeAngelo. Keep him away from this locker room.

We need a guy more like Landeskog than Saad. But just don't see Landeskog leaving Colorado.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

F*ck off with DeAngelo. Keep him away from this locker room.

We need a guy more like Landeskog than Saad. But just don't see Landeskog leaving Colorado.

Have to agree I don't want POS Deangelo anywhere near the Habs. We need to land a big UFA this off season though or stand pat and see what we have in our prospect pool.

 

[Jabba11]

DeAngelo has been a poison since his days with the Sarnia Sting. That's why he dropped in the draft. And the things that came up in the Rangers room with him racially abusing (don't even know if that's a word) K'Andre Miller is just immoral. One doesn't change just because there's Price, Weber or Gallagher in the room. We've got something great going, let's keep it that way. Surround your young talents with good players and good people.

DeAngelo might be a better fit in a more conservative state like Texas with the Dallas Stars. Of course, Dallas itself, or Houston, as big urban centers, aren't that conservative -- just all the outlying regions...

Would DeAngelo be willing to undergo a brainwashing session or a simple lobotomy to cure what ails him?

 

[Habs13]

Perry, Ovechkin, Hamilton

The funniest part is TSN not shutting up about
"ALLLL THESE UFAS THE HABS HAVE OMG!!"
like LOL you idiots..we dont give a shit about Tatar, staal, gus, merrill, get real with this.. we have like barely 3 that are an actual necessity and even then mostly for depth lol
f***ing christ they make it sound like were in SOOOOO much trouble everytime, it's hilarious
Worry about your capped out leafs please thanks.

I just can't stomach TSN anymore.......Dave Poulin might be the only decent analyst....the rest are beyond awful. The Habs own Pierre Lebrun has gotten beyond stupid arrogant.....for a guy who's time is spent up the ar$e of MB and 5Mil Phil, my god the stuff dripping from his ears, is even brown.......awful just awful.
I have to watch Sportsnet, which of course is also Leaf central...but a little more doable.

I think it's an impossibility Phil gets ANYthing under 5M at this point the way things are. Whether or not WE sign him to that I'm still torn on truthfully.
It's far more likely Armia leaves as UFA, than Lehkonen leaving as RFA
Anything above 3M for Armia is honest to god straight madness.
In turn, anything above 2.5 for lehkonen borderlines on dangerous as well, I'd max out at 2.7.

Yeah, poulie has really come around for me as well, wasnt crazy about him at first

 

[Gael]

Signing Ovechkin would be so awesome. What are the odds he's going back to Wsh, like 90%?

 

[74 others]

For a rebuild we don’t need a shutdown centre. We don’t need to follow a stupid system that Bergevin built.

For sure we need to rebuild right after we went to the SCF. Especially after seeing that Price and Weber were so important in our playoffs success. Get it done Bergy.

 

[Redux91]

Signing Ovechkin would be so awesome. What are the odds he's going back to Wsh, like 90%?

99%
If he hadnt won the cup in 2018 tho
I'd say 50%

 

[habamillions]

Signing Ovechkin would be so awesome. What are the odds he's going back to Wsh, like 90%?

Yeah. I think they do like they did with oshie. Sign him after the expansion draft

Send him to Harlem ala Bruce Willis in Die Hard With a Vengeance

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Signing Ovechkin would be so awesome. What are the odds he's going back to Wsh, like 90%?

It's a lock unless he actively wants a change in his life for some reason. If he wants to be in Washington they'll work it out with very little problem. It's like Crosby, he means a lot more to that franchise than goals and points.

 

[canucklover123]

Guy I like is Martinook, he just had knee surgery though and he a Alternate captain on the Canes. He would be a nice add forusre

 

[Dichow Stopper]

You can forget Ovechkin. He's finishing his career with the capitals

Very likely yes but do you have a source to make it sound like a fact?
