MTL has 0 need to dump Dvorak, especially since he is very welcomed in the lineup when healthy. But in terms of dump value, it is one of the lighter ones I've seen recently, so good job on that

If the dump is that cheap( that our 8th or9th pick in the 2025 draft atm) I think they wpuld do it simply as it adds more flexibility.

I think if the Habs needed the cap and roster space for a center, they'd probably do this for Dvorak. Center depth is weak so moving him is only necessary if they intend to replace him with someone better. If not they have little reason to move him. They'd just have to go get another Dvorak type center again so its defeats the purpose.

Anderson on the other hand, if there is a move to be made, I'd be interested in. I think Habs mgmt would welcome moving him for pennies on the dollar right now and frankly even with sweeteners to move him out if need be. ONLY if its to remove his cap entirely though. They're not retaining on him and if they take someone back, that contract has to be off their books soonish. If those criteria can't be met, they might as well buy him out then.

Don't forget how freakishly injured we tend to get. Having depth is a must for MTL, so if we have the cap, we should keep him

Grier needs to be getting way more back for cap dumps.

Its doesnt preclude the team from signing someone else to replace him. Hes been a fairly big part of the injury issue so signing someone less injury prpne wpuld be a benefit.

Canucks def accept imo

Why would they dump Mikheyev? They have no spot for Addison on the blueline, and the $4.75M you're freeing up will just go back to a top 6 replacement who's likely very similar to Mikheyev's production.

Its the cost of RS for 1 year and we get a pick back which most dont.
I'd do it for the simple fact Laval's over crowded this year with Beck, among others joining them
Kapanen is looking like Fire and scored almost all his points in 2024. From what i hear he's set to join Lavals Playoffs as a trial run for them
Most important is Florian Xhekaj moved to Center scoring 20 goals in 27 games for 31 goals and 55 pts in 57 games. He's been on fire since becoming a Center.
Way he's going with the time he has left 50 goals isnt out of the question for this Pest Goal Scorer who stands 6'4 at about 205lbs last update his moms gave online in a fan Q&A

Now's the time to get Gignac and Condotta in those 3rd and 4th C roles to create room in Laval
Or we wait re-signing Monahan this summer letting the chips fall where they may at Camp
Either way having Dvo gone at the very minimum gives us the cap to RS for another team later in the year to get a 4th back
Personally i'd just buy out DVO and move Armia

Of course he should want to but in both of these he gets players with shorter term contracts with manageable cap hits that helps them reach the cap floor. He recoups earlier round picks on top of it. Both players could be moved at a deadline too for even more assets.

I would be interested in Anderson especially if he came with incentives. Sharks need cap to make the floor and to fill out that roster

Montreal isn't paying a 4th to save a million dollars when they will probably be able to get close to Wennberg's return if he has a decent season next year.

Like no goals (until last night) in what 20+ games production? That can be had for league min. That said i'd expect Mikheyev to be better next season as his injured heals but getting rid of his salary for that cheap would be easy yes.
