I didn’t think so but even if they were they wouldn’t do so for the type of deal he was offering was the point I was making that wasn’t even a realistic deal if they had the salary cap space

Cost substantially more than that to dump that albatross of a contract that’s Burns 1&4 minimum
Montreal isn’t going to give you Mete to take a salary dump mid level prospect and a 2 or 3 minimum

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>YES! DUBAS, CLAIM PERRY OFF WAIVERS!</div></div>

Is this to save cap space as they’ll have multiple players paid a pension?

Thread: If mtl puts perry or frolik on waivers then what was the point of signing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>The point of signing them is to have them on the Taxi Squad. If they get claimed then the team that claims them has to have them on their squad or they will end up in Montreal. It gives us the upper hand.</div></div>

For this reason but also for internal competition, which I think is great. Guys like Armia, Byron and Lehkonen will be pushed to do better. Guys with higher contracts are also more likely to end up on taxi squads so these guys will have to earn their spot.
Same deal for PP guy Weal :flushed

Thread: Creating Dubois trades that make sense

Thats too much from MTL... Maybe if Dubois was an established 70 pts C but he's only had one season over 60 pts (i know hes 22). What Im trying to say is that giving up Danault extended (28 yo) and whos a 50pts+ elite defensive C who will be loved by his coach, Caufield who's got great chances of becoming a 30 goals/60pts+ kinda guy and Struble who's honestly the most underrated prospect that we have (the kid's got it all tbh), simply isnt worth it then (even for a local kid like Dubois).

I think considering the situation CLB is in (in terms of competing for a Stanley cup), replacing Caufield with Tatar would be much more fair and would actually work money wise for MTL. OR I saw some trades earlier in which Danault, Guhle and a first were offered. Considering our amazing depth of defensemen prospects and our pile of picks in the last few draft, we could definitely make that kind of trade.

True there's a rule that fourth lines don't take faceoffs, they just throw the puck in a corner and you have to go get it.

Thread: The best landing spots for PLD imo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>Replace Kulak with Tatar and the lineup still look amazing imo

Dubois-KK (switching for faceoffs)-Caufield (Armia while waiting)
Drouin-Zuke-Anderson
Toffoli-Poehling-Gallagher
Lehkonen-Evans-Byron</div></div>

Poehling should absolutely not be in the NHL this year. They’d probably look like:

Toffoli - Dubois - Gallagher
Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson
Byron - Kotkaniemi - Armia
Lehkonen - Evans - Perry

But this is all assuming full health. Which obviously won’t happen. And it doesn’t really send a good message to the team if you trade away 2/3 of your top line and only get 1 player who is about as good as one of those players back. The lines do look really good if you add Caufield, but they look even better if you add Caufield to our current lines.

That's fair. I don't see where he would fit if we didn't trade a center either. It's probably not written in the stars for us anyways.

Thread: Taxi Squad

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Perry does not make this team over Byron.</div></div>

I can see Byron, Frolik, and Perry taking turns in the lineup and the Taxi Squad. Can't see Byron getting claimed off waivers if anything it would solve cap problems for MTL.

But I agree, I see Perry more as RW insurance more than anything. Good to have considering Gallagher, Anderson, and Armia all missed time with injuries last year.
