Thread: My Top Ten
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>This draft is going to be one for the ages. Incredibly excited for it, especially as a sens fan. First time in a while there's actually reason to get excited about being terrible, now that we don't have the pick from the Duchene trade looming overhead like the last couple of seasons. We've got our pick, and likely the best odds in the lottery, and 4 other picks in the first round including another 1st.

The draft may be in MTL, but it's Ottawa's draft all the way</div></div>

Fair enought Sens fans deserves a reason to be excited. Your lucky in a way it is almost sure the Sens get a top 5 pick :). I mean the draft is still in a year so A LOT can happen but the first 10 teams could get an elite player. Do you think Askarov could be a great fit for the Sens (since you dont really need D with Chabot,Branstrom,Thomson). Or maybe more a forward ?

Thread: Lets buy out Alzner now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>I wouldn't say buyout proof. If Alzner stays healthy and there's no way of actually trading him without giving a 1st + or whatever, buying him out next season or in 2021 is still a possibility that's digestible.

MTLs biggest contract management year in recent history will be 2021. It's the year of the Seattle expansion draft + major contract renewals will be due to <strong>A LOT</strong> of roster players. (Gallagher, Danault, Kotkaniemi, Poehling, Tatar, Petry, Lehkonen, Armia, and a few more.)
So the year you want to save the most cap from Alzner's contract has to be in 2021. (next year with only Domi, Mete, and Juulsen to worry about, Habs could still afford Alzner at a sizable cap hit.)

Here are the options imo with dealing with Alzner:
Keeping Alzner in the minors for the rest of his deal (until 2022) still has MTL absorbing $3.55mil in salary cap per year, saving them roughly <strong>$1mil</strong> in cap space a season.

Buying Alzner out next season (2020) would give a cap savings of <strong>$2.7mil</strong> in the 2021 season. the only negative of doing this is the $4mil cap hit next season, but that's almost the same as the $3.55mil cap hit MTL would already have for just keeping him in the minors. other than that, it would cost MTL about 800k for 2 more seasons after 2021, but if the cap is tight at that point, it would only cost MTL from keeping a depth player at most, so no biggie.

Buying Alzner out in 2021 would give a cap savings in 2021 of about <strong>$2.3mil</strong>, with a cap hit of $1.2mil the following year, but that's it after 2022.


So if Habs are looking for the most cap flexibility in 2021, buying him out next season makes the most sense. but a buyout in 2021 is still doable.</div></div>

Plz habs fan read this if you have 30 second the guy is right 100%. I like the fact that you project in 2 years (not a lot of fan/media are doing it...#gardinerfor6m)
