HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[Boss Man Hughes]

So that we could get a top 6 power forward...

There should be lots of cap room to get a top 6 forward. Even a UFA.

i found out on Wed

Did they just say Avs lost Manson?

Manson is on the ice for 2nd period.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yeah, the teams that used Arizona as a cap dump are screwed. Chicago doesn't seem to want to do that. No one else is going to use their cap space that way. Maybe San Jose, they have a ton of space now & are still rebuilding.

We don't need to trade Price anyway.

Yes. There is only 2 years left on his contract. If it is a problem next off season they could move him and 1 year of cap shouldn't be that expensive to move.

Back to Avs game. LA-Oilers game is boring. All games are boring.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Yes. There is only 2 years left on his contract. If it is a problem next off season they could move him and 1 year of cap shouldn't be that expensive to move.

Especially after they pay his signing bonus. His actual salary is $2m, which majority will be covered by insurance. It's essentially free cap for a team that needs to reach the floor for one year.

I fully expect us to trade Price summer of 2025 due to a rising cap floor, and teams that are rebuilding, like Chicago, San Jose not able to actually reach it.

Price's contract is the least of our worries.

 

[The Real Timo]

f***

 

[Habano]

Georgiev is gonna Georgiev

I wasn't worried. I just wanted a power forward.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Man... Hyman is sick. What makes me smile is that leafs lost him for literally nothing and kept Marner.
Imagine letting a 50+ goal scorer just walk. Love it!

welllllllll he wasn't a 50G scorer yet. playing with McDavid will do that for you. i could probably score 10G over the course of 82 games and i haven't skated since i was 8 years old

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I'm not even sure how that went in. What a terrible goal. Georgiev is leaning forward and is off the near post. Toffoli is at an awful angle and yet still puts it in shortside on a weak backhand.

1-1.

Draisaitl has scored, so 2-0 Edmonton.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

There's not many, if any, available.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Doty threw the game, RIP Kings

3-0

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Connor McDavid scores on PP. Doughty takes a slashing penalty to give Oilers that PP.

3-0 Oilers after 1.

Edmonton out shooting Kings 16-8.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Rantanen is useless. He and MacKinnon both had chance in alone and screw them up.

 

[Habano]

Every shot on Georgiev is an adventure

 

[The Real Timo]

Shut the f*** up shitfly

Every shot on Georgiev is an adventure

Flashbacks of former Avs & Hab David Aebischer

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Mittlestadt does eff all and takes a stupid penalty

 

[The Real Timo]

f*** it. I am done with tonight. Terrible night.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yes every game is absolute shit. Edmonton might be the only good game but they will probably blow it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Another not a great goal by Georgiev. Morrissey scores from downtown. A PPG. 2-1 Winnipeg.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Colorado PP now. Lowry for slashing.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Georgiev is obviously crap. Annunen should be in if there is another bad goal.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Rantanen can be a really frustrating player. What a terrible giveaway at offensive blueline.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, 2nd intermission. Still 2-1 Winnipeg.

I'm not going to bother with the Edmonton game. They're leading 3-0 still. 2nd period has started.

Nevermind, it's 3-1. Doughty has scored. 14 minutes left in 2nd.
