<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habspectations</b></div><div>25% retention is a big number for 5 years! With 25% retention I would throw in a pick and a stud (Harris, Baron or Mailloux) for sure. I think Gallagher has a NTC too but he might like to end it in San Jose and Karlsson won't get a cup in San Jose any time soon.</div></div>

agreed but Gallaher while a solid player is no longer worth his deal and would only block our younger forwards from pushing for spots. 25% is a lot but if we get the 24 1st, 23 2nd Mailoux it helps the rebuild and the 25% retention is off the books when the 22 &amp; 23 draft picks would be in line for their 2nd contracts so no harm there. can you retain cap but not actually pay the salary? cause if that was an option it would be a lesser value than actually eating the money.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habspectations</b></div><div>Dvorak cost Montreal a (likely higher than Colorado) first rounder and he has shown good value for his contract so that will be the asking price.
We do not need him, that is the only reason to sell. The reason we do not need him is becasue of of Sean Monahan, Owen Beck, Jake Evans, Filip Mesar and Riley Kidney and we will probably be drafting a top-10 #1C in 2023. Let's not forget Dach could still learn to win faceoffs...</div></div>

Bergevin panic traded for a center because he lost Kotkaniemi. Just because Montreal’s GM makes a bad trade doesn’t mean other teams will. Dvorak isn’t worth a 1st rounder. He’s a solid player I guess, but 3rd liners shouldn’t be making $4.5M. He has not shown solid value for his contract whatsoever.
