Thread: Adams a Jack Adams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Ignoring the trade itself, you are essentially paying Laine more than Skinner to be the same player (Laine makes 8.7 mil skinners buyout cap hit is 1.7 mil, that equates to paying Laine 10.4 mil, why not just keep Skinner?) Also Skinners buyout might make sense for the 24-25 season at 1.7 mil but look beyond that, in 25-26 it jumps to 4.4 mil and you have to resign all of Byram, Quinn, Peterka and Levi, in 2026-27 the buyout costs 6.4 mil then finally drops to 2.4 mil the remaining 3 seasons, that is not a feasible solution.</div></div>

I had the exact same thoughts
First of all, Skinner is NOT getting bought out this year
Maybe next year when it makes more financial sense- MAYBE

But even if we did get rid of Skinner, why the heck would we replace him with another “lazy” guy who doesn’t play defense and has a huge Cap hit???
That’s frankly just a dumb idea that makes no sense at all

Thread: Could Chytil be a fit
They don't need another injury prone center..Kirby Dach is on their roster already

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Chytil is a younger, less productive, more expensive and more injured Dvorak, why would Montreal ever consider this? Then you want us to retain on Dvo and pay a 1st+ on top of that? What kind of moron do you think Hughes is?!</div></div>

I always laugh when ppl put these crazy trades out there while forgetting that Kent Hughes is the GM. This isnt Jim Benning. Kent has to be one of the most measured guys in the league. He's not even Bergevin with MB's giant ego being a journeyman hockey player that hated skill guys when he threw the alumni out of the dressing rooms and would play favourites with Gallagher meanwhile dumping on Pacioretty/Markov.

Thread: Joshua Yes Hronek Nah
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>All these speculations are weird. The Habs are not looking at defenders, they are looking at forwards.</div></div>

Yeah. Its getting crazy right now with the congestion on the backend.

Hutson is clearly ready. That wasnt a Poehling situation vs AHL Leafs. He dummied a team fighting for their playoffs lives in Dtown and already looks like a potential elite top pair puck mover that can run a PP in his sleep.
Mailloux has proven everything in the AHL, they need his size when Savard is on his last year and Reinbacher is the type of player that plays better with better teammates (he shouldnt be in the AHL) he immediately looked 10 times better in Laval than that bottom feeder Swiss team and I suspect it will be the same in Montreal as he was drafted because of his high hockey sense and floor.

Thread: Unbiased Hard Truths
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>I think the Avs would rather swap Harris in for Mesar since they would have 37 yo Johnson as 3LD, I think it also makes sense for the Habs to include both Harris and Struble since it helps clear the logjam at LD. I also think swapping the Jets pick for the Flames pick makes sense for the Avs as well since they don't have a 1st next year, it also makes sense for the Habs cause we are likely gonna try to start competing and using the 1st to acquire a Mitts type of player helps that.</div></div>

This might be the most positive ACGM that I've ever made despite calling multiple trades at the 2022 TDL and getting called every name in the book along that same thread.

Must be a sweet spot during the playoffs. Post during the game so homers don't lurk and most of the forum is only focused on said teams.

Thread: Anderson cap dump
People think of a "cap dump" as a player with a high cap hit who's no longer worth that amount. That's incorrect . . . or, at least, incomplete. The definition of a "cap dump" is a player who is no longer worth his cap hit <strong>which is a burden to his team because it brings them too close to the cap ceiling</strong>. You have $20 million in cap space here and plenty of open roster slots, so Anderson isn't a burden that way, either. I think that it's foolish to expend resources getting rid of a contract which may be a visual annoyance but is little more. Even buying him out is preferable to this, no matter what the cost is.

I've had this discussion previously with Habs fans who say But we need the cap space that would be taken up by Anderson's buyout down the line 2, 3, 4 seasons from now to re-sign x, y or z. I think you can afford to wait to cross that bridge when, and if, you get there.
