the next year cap 87,5 next 92,5 then 96,5 then 100,5 tell me when habs are going to be in a cap crushed situation again!?

Not guaranteed to be their pick could be swapped to plenty of other picks with the conditions. It's not their 2025 unprotected lol. It could cost even more in the coming weeks to dump him especially if he plays the way he has.

Edit: looking at the conditions. Most likely rn is Calgary bottom 10 and panthers not so mtl would get a pick in the 18-32 range via panthers so the pick actually isn't as valuable as people think. People see Calgary pick and don't remember the conditions that make it not as valuable as the pick alone.

In 2 years, it won’t cost a lot. Retained 50%, he might even get something good. And Ylonen isn’t really blocked, he is getting more and more responsabilities

It doesn’t matter it’s a 1st rd pick for a team that is 13th in their conference and can use as many 1st rd picks as possible. You could convince me that they would move it for a player not a chance they use it to move cap.

As you pointed out, in the 3rd year. That CGY 1st isn't going anywhere. If absolutely required, there are no options for cap gymnastics and we're looking to make a splash, then maybe MAYBE KH considers paying to move a contract. Absolutely no reason to consider it for a minimum of 2 years, which makes it a 26 or 27 1st which would then hypothetically be in the latter half of those respective drafts. I get that everyone is jumping all over this but there is no rush for anything and there will be no paying anything to move any contracts for the foreseeable future.

Then why is Anderson pp with 0 goals. Anderson is blocking Ylonen's ice time. Anderson has almost 17 or 18 minutes and Ylonen is definitely near 10 minutes. Imagine what Ylonen could be with pp 1 time and those minutes. He's being blocked and paying to remove the problem now allows for more development and removes any risk of Anderson being more expensive to dump (remember physical players like him tend to drop off significantly and earlier than skill guys)

this is literally pre pandemic-era number from the NHL Board kiddo !! LOL you guys need to take a step back and learn a few things about the sport before bragging pure nonsensical things around. Anderson brings value where you see a cap dump ... try something else, like paying for him instead, that be a better AGM ... !

The idea is paying to get more cap sooner when mtl exits the rebuild and protects from the price increasing in the time when they would need the cap. It makes sense for mtl

He is a cap dump to 31/32 teams doesn't matter what mtl fans think he's worth he has 2 points in 21 games no goals while pp making 8m in salary. No team is paying assets for that type of player and only 1 first compared to the 2+ for Campbell is a great deal for mtl

As I explained, Anderson will be way cheaper to dump at 1-2 years left.

And why would we be paying a first to let YLONEN play 5min a night more when we could literally do that for free. That’s stupid.

It is necessary cheaper for 2 years vs 4 years. It's a cap dump regardless and when mtl makes it known they are trying to dump him the price jumps look at Campbell as an example

Or the alternate version is that MTL keep Anderson for the next 2 years and pays the price at that point to move him or buy him out if need be without having to take a roster spot away from a young player for Schmidt.

You're asking MTL to pay a 1st now to solve a problem they don't currently have.

It makes no freaking sens at all you just try to imply you know how and where our rebuild is going ...

And why would we make it know. Bro doesn’t propaganda.

Every rebuild tends to make an impact signing when exiting a rebuild and Anderson is a cap dump that prevents young players like Ylonen and cap space to keep and sign players. A 20-32 overall pick for 5.5 million in cap space isn't that bad and allows mtl to give Ylonen more ice time to become another lehkonen

cant tell if dumb or trolling.

cant tell if dumb or trolling.

Habs will deal that pick for another 22-24 years old rookie, no need to spend the famous dump cash challenge of your

both as usual from winterpeg fan.

Anderson is a cap dump whether you want to believe it or not even some mtl fans in this agm agree he is. At some point Anderson will have to be dealt or bought out.

ok then dumb it is.

so now there is rules, LOL
