Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Jake Allen (2 Years / $2,875,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dotz789</b></div><div>The part that doesn’t do it for me is he’s set to make 4.3M this upcoming season from his previous contract and then 2.8M for two more years. Not quite sure why MTL would want to keep him on the books for two extra years. I could see the re-signing for 1 but not 2 plus when you have other guys you’re trying to keep and sign. Having 13M+ tied up in two goalies isn’t great cap management. Seattle expansion draft is next summer ...</div></div>

I agree that having 13M+ in goalies is not ideal. But the problem is not with Allen's 2.8. With Price making 10.5M you are always going to have too much tied up in goalies. Unfortunately that is where Montreal find themselves.

Thread: round 1 of playoffs lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blanche</b></div><div>I would like to think he would prefer playing second line minutes rather than 4th line center...he is unmotivated at the moment and is probably questioning why he is playing despite his health concerns. If Mtl decides to move him after season, they need to raise his stock. A good motivated Domi can be very beneficial for this run in the playoffs. What do you think about Kulak playing some minutes on the power play as a forward?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blanche</b></div><div>I am good with the proposed lines. I just want to see Domi playing a more significant role....he looks despondent on the ice.</div></div>



This despondent attitude you refer to, I call pouting! He has been doing it since he got moved to the wing earlier in the year. I agree totally that a motivated Domi would certainly help this team and raise his stock for when he is undoubtedly moved in the offseason. I would have liked to see him playing on the wing in a more significant role as well, but he didn't show the proper attitude at any point this season after being moved to the wing. KK getting sent down opened up a spot in the middle again for him but KK looks like the player we hoped he'd be when he was taken 3rd overall. Domi's only role on this team is on the wing and if he isn't prepared to move and give his all then we need to cut bait with him. Disappointing as that may be.

As for Kulak getting some time on the PP.... why not we are O For on the PP so we might as well try something different. We wont get through the next round if we cant get a few chipped in on the PP
