I’m always up for a bit more crunch . Lehkonen and a fourth for reaves. Reaves can beat on the wilsons , maroons and whoever else and Anderson can speed around scaring defenseman shi....... Vegas would be a little tight to the cap to I bet .
Rumor: Victor Mete + Paul Byron on the block

Can we just give Ottawa a pick already so the Byron can go home?
Or even Yet
Jersey you med dmen right?
You want Mete all you need to do is take Pauly?

I like Byron to but to free up his 3.4 million I’m not against moving him . I’m not sure will be able to get a third or fourth for him . Not with the current economic picture. I wouldn’t object to moving him with no retention and one of our 3 - 2021 fifth round picks in exchange for a 2022 -6th round pick. This may not be enough of a sweetener but if it was that 3 million in spare change would be sweet to have at the deadline .

Can't stop a cycle when he's 6"and 50 pounds lighter then the guys he's trying to stop.
And has the goal scoring touch of a dead donkey..

Not harsh at all.
Goaltenders around the league shared a playbook on him. It's short and devestating accurate. It reads...."just stand up and he will hit your crest".

Hello no. In fact, the last shot Mete took was deflected....by a fly.
The fly was annoyed.
no, suzuki is no need. new jersey has enough smallish forwards and better center options for the top 6. and i know, it's ridiculous, as i quoted a ridiculous post. but the cost to move byron is something as valuable as romanov and NJ wants young NHL ready LHD with top 4 upside. romanov is the only player from montreal, which fits the profile. if you don't like the ask, fish in another pond. you can come back, when you are more desperate and we will ask for even more, if there is still any cap space left to take a cap dump.
There is no desperation factor though . Will put weal on waivers and if he doesn’t get picked up will be putting him in Laval and bringing up poehling which makes us compliant . Bergevin has two months to tinker with his fourth line and 5-6-7 d’s . All his heavy lifting is done .
i agree. the desperation will set in next off-season, when cap space will be even more scarce around the league.
bergevin just drilled a huge hole in the boat. in less than a month he has turned a favorable cap situation into a nightmare. for the 21/22 season montreal has 14 signed contracts for 65 millions. so 16.5m (max, probably less, if you consider bonuses and carry over bonuses) to resign kotkaniemi, danault, poehling, tatar, armia, and lehkonen. if you want to keep danault and kotkaniemi down the middle, you will have max 8 million to sign 6 more roster players, probably much less.
Tatar will either be dealt or kept as our own rental letting him walk . Danault and Kotkaniemi will not be getting astronomical raises . We do bridge contracts with kids like kk . Armia will be resigned . Poehling won’t take much .
I’m not sure who dropped their hook in your pond but it’s nothing to get your panties tied in a knot over . Will forget about unloading Byron in New Jersey and you forget about Romanov ok ?
During these thanksgiving days I’m grateful for a hard salary cap which reigns in the champions bringing them back closer to the pack.

If it wasn't for that cap teams like mtl tor and NYR would likely be dominant. If you're a fan of a small market team u should probably consider yourself lucky
fine for me.
you will be back at new jersey pond next off-season, if fitz hasn't used all the cap space. next off-season will be worse for sellers, i promise.
