Wouldn’t be surprised if Juulsen finish the season with Laval
HF Habs: Taxi squad
- Thread starter Belial
- Start date
Thanks. But what if MB would like to switch two players between the taxi squad and the AHL? No waivers required right?
Any rules on those switches? If both the Habs and the Rocket are in town, couldn’t they assign players on the squad to the AHL team for a night to have them on the roster? They would have to quarantine I suppose?
That is correct as far as I know.
You still have restrictions, like having to announce the roster move before 5PM ET.

Looks like we will need 10 days of Kotkaniemi being on the taxi squad to gain enough cap space to have Perry on the nhl roster.
Every day off we will send KK to the taxi squad
If they demote him, we could get him back, unless someone else also claimed him on waivers but Florida won out based on worst record last year.

Perry will play IF there is an injury, and every players in the regular line up are paid 750,000 and more. So, no problem. The injured players's salary is replaced by Perry's one.
So, taxi squad guys can or cannot sub in for a guy who just needs a night off? Perry in for Leks or Byron? Or does it have to be an injury??
You can move a guy to taxi squad and switch, but if it is not KK, Suzuki, Evans or Romanov, they have to be waived so you risk losing them. Won't happen with Byron or Lehkonen.

Think I’d rather Poehling be playing a lot in the AHL, and have another dman on the taxi squad but whatever

Where is Weal ? Gonna be traded or sent down to Laval ? Why not keep this vet instead of losing time with Poehling ? Because of his 1,5M $ salary ?
Only 5 so they could send one more player there on days off, to accumulate cap space.
Kotkaniemi has the highest cap hit of the four waiver-exempt players.
Smart management.

because the AHL season only start in February so let the kid practice with the NHL club and in February you replace Poehling/Fleury by Ouellet/Weal
There is other ways though... Not saying it won't happen but i would rather bury some other contracts or trade a/some players instead

This manoever while probably legal will take $80,000 out of KK's pocket. It might be more politically correct to do this with romanov instead whose cap hit is not that much lower. Or Evans, who has a much higher AHL salary. Or, maybe split the pain equally beteween all four waiver-exempt players (KK, Romanov, Suzuki, Evans), but it would take 3 days each to get Perry on the roster.

Fleury and Belzile are on the taxi squad right now and joining Habs on their road games this week.
Interestingly enough, looking at the AHL Transactions page, Habs have called up Baddock a few times to the taxi squad recently, a paper transaction mostly to fill up the minimum of 4 players on the taxi squad. But he was always "sent down" to Laval in time for the games he played with the Rocket.
