What Not Gorging on the Biggest Piece of the Pie Might Look Like

Created by: gordfish
Team: 2024-25 Vancouver Canucks
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 3, 2024
Published: Feb. 3, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Pettersson and Hronek leave 1$M AAV on the table, but the deals put the team past the worst of the OEL buyout and in a better position to give everyone market value in 2027.

Lindholm and Zadorov leave money on the table for term.

So you can see, you're banking on some serious help from guys currently playing in their development systems, with Willander coming in after his second year of college is complete. And there would be a lot more heavy lifting to do to rebuild the depth in Abbottsford.

Montreal is already in LTIR for the duration of Price's contract. They get a decent prospect to help the Canucks get out of LTIR.

Karlsson to Chicago where he has a much better chance of getting some serious NHL minutes.

As a Habs fan, I'd send a 4th your way for the Chicago trade offer.
And as for the 2 defensemen, Habs are overflowing with defensemen...

I don’t think Lindholm is going to leave money on the table.

Karlsson has some skills for sure. But the one big knock on him is his skating. Which is a skill the Hawks are prioritizing. Not saying Hawks wouldn't give up a 4th for Karlsson, but his below average skating likely limits the Hawks interest.

Wouldn’t give Zadorov 6 years. Don’t love that Lindholm contract either, might be better to just use him as a rental and let him walk. Depends how he fits in

Poolman is LTIRetired and Truscott is a d-tier prospect. The advantage for the Habs is they have a better opportunity to benefit from LTIR relief pool and potentially ACSL accrual since they still have Price's cap hit for 3 years anyway.

You must be reading old reports of Karlsson. His foot speed is fine now, he worked on it in the offseason and got better. He no longer has that falter step when taking off. By far the best forward not named Bains in Abby right now.

MTL already has +$10M in LTIR money and the guy tries to convince us taking Poolman would help LOL.

Not how LTIR works

If that's actually the case, the Hawks might have interest.

Not how LTIR works


You'd be right if it was for this season, but it's for next season and that is how LTIR works. This is for next season, ACSL + Relief Pool is established at the start of the year. If the Habs are planning on continuing a rebuild, they aren't (or shouldn't) be spending to the cap. They're still going to have Price's contract on the books regardless, adding Poolman's can allow them to be closer to the upper limit and set a higher ACSL. Poolman and Price on LTIR still give Montreal the cap space they'd have anyway with possible accrual (if they're spending below ACSL, like sending player(s) down or trading at the start of the season.), the extra cap space would allow them to acquire bad cap hit(s) for picks (like they did with Monahan.) It would take a little bit more cap-related nuance than that with how complex ACSL is, but that's the simpled concept.
