Caufield going to kill it in the AHL

Created by: MatthewsFan
Team: 2020-21 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 16, 2021
Published: Apr. 16, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Cause he won’t be playing in the NHL unless there is an injury to the 20 man roster.

Ducharme says because of the team’s salary cap situation, there is no flexibility to dress Caufield (or any other taxi squad member) unless there’s an injury in the 20-man roster.

The Habs are currently in LTIR, Caufield's cap hit is actually $1,308,333, and not $880,833.

This is because there is no longer a bonus cushion in LTIR resulting in the performance bonuses being included as part of the cap hit.

You do realize that Byron can be sent down to the taxi squad without having to clear waivers right? Therefore he could easily be added to the roster.

So do I cause he will add some much needed finishing to our lineup. I wonder if he will get a look on Saturday due to the back to back situation.

Fair I’m not trying to be a dic- about this, was related to another conversation. IMO he won’t be up till the playoffs but like you said they can send someone through waivers I just don’t see that happening. He is a sick player and will be a difference maker for the Habs.

Does anyone know if it's considered a crime to take out a Canadiens player to allow Caufield to play? I feel like it's legal in Montreal...

Byron just cleared waivers so he could be sent to the taxi squad already to open the spot needed.

@LeafsfanMathews I feel like you created this thread from our conversation in my post.

In which we habs fans were very clear that if Ducharme wanted to Caufield could be called up by sending Byron down, so his comment about it not being possible was a lie. You kept denying this saying Caufield won't be playing unless there is an injury, we were not arguing this the coach made it very clear. We were just pointing out Ducharme thinks we are all naive, Byron has been sent down lots this year so it's not like they wouldn't do it again.

CapFriendly currently shows MTL with a 23 man roster after activating Chiarot and sending Ouellet down and they still have $1.8M in current cap space, Caufields cap hit is only $1.3M with performance bonuses factored in.

Well for starters does Byron even deserve to be out, from last couple of games he’s played really well.

I’m telling you right now, the only way this works is if Price returns vs. OTT, and Primeau and Ouellet get sent down, Ducharme can insert both Caufield and Evans and the Canadiens will still have about $2K in space.
