Thread: Weaponise the Cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Oddly enough the bruins have oodles of cap space. Some of that may be eaten up by them qualifying a bunch of RFAs that they shouldn’t have. I bet they really like Soucy, but probably not that much.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>Hm seems inevitable it whittles down tho 😕

10M for Rask and krejci

5M$ for kase and ritchie (as you alluded to)

4M$ for an experienced RD

So I guess maybe 5M$ left over</div></div>


Not to mention players like Reilly and Hall. A team that is trying to content can never have enough cap space, Boston has to be a bit aggressive this offseason. But I get your point, maybe it'd be a 2nd round pick rather than a 1st. Or maybe it could be a similar cap move with a more desperate team for their first.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>I think tough is a bit of an understatement. Montreal has a lot of goals all over.
Goaltending: Price just turned in a heck of a playoff run, but does that erase him being pretty mediocre the last 3-5 seasons? Maybe. Probably not though.
Defense: that top four is okay. I think thats the nicest you can put it. That’s with schmidt and Weber not experiencing any more decline. Petry had a rock star beginning to the season, but since? Meh.
Forwards: like a lot of pieces here, but is Suzuki a real top line center? What is caufield? Is he really a top line guy, or is one of the infinite number of guys that have a hot start and then the league figures them out a bit. I think it’s the former, but who knows.

I think the habs are short a legit number one center, and a legit number one d man before being a true contender.</div></div>

I think Allen is the better goalie during the regular season, besides one season where he played every minute until January, he has always posted solid numbers. I think Price might have some motivation following the loss so I think he'd have a solid 41 games. Nothing spectacular but if we can get average numbers from him then that would be great.
I'd be okay with bringing back Danault but I don't know if it would work out, I wouldn't give him more than 4.5mil. I really liked Danault this playoffs, he was incredible.
I heard some people say we need Monahan but I don't think that would work. Maybe we can make a big splash and go for Dubois but I doubt it.
These are just some ideas, I'm only an armchair GM so I like hearing what others think. We really will have a tough season this year but if the culture stays the same in the locker room and if we can avoid big injuries, I think we'll have a chance.

I was saying that they are both equally capable goalies. A Price/Holtby tandem would sound great but I prefer Price/Allen. I think it's a good deal though for Vancouver, they get a good 1A/1B tandem with him and Demko. Especially when you consider Murray's contract at over 6mil.
