Thread: Habs fans relax ffs Bergy is thinking of Exp Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ste_Catherine_Street</b></div><div>CounterCounter points:
1) McNiven might not even be worth a contract and may go elsewhere seeing as he's 4th on the Habs depth chart (Europe). But ok I guess this is a possibility.
2) Maybe Chariot is better, but they have the same $$$ value contract but Chariot's is shorter. SO if anything Chariot has a worse contract because he can get a raise sooner, which he will.
3) Peohling and Evans are <strong>NOT</strong> exempt. We'll see about Toffoli and Anderson, and how this season goes, but they may be worth to leave dangling.</div></div>

Evans is not exempt. Poehling is though. RFA rules are how they determine it (not ELC). Poehling had to play 40 games as a pro in 18/19 and he only played 1. Don't believe me? W Nylander was exempt in the last expansion draft and it was because he played 37 AHL games in 14/15.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Counter points:

1 - Michael McNiven already meets the requirement.
2 - Chiarot is better than Edmundson and has a better contract. Edmundson won’t be protected, and if Seattle has the stupidity to pick him, most habs fans would rejoice. But it is likely that Seattle picks the player that has the best season out of Kulak, Mete, Juulsen, &amp; Fleury.
3 - Poehling is exempt, and not worthy of a spot even if he were. And Armia probably doesn’t come back, even if he did, it would be after the expansion draft. It would be ridiculous for the habs not to protect Toffoli or Anderson.</div></div>

You should wait to give firm opinions until after this next season is played. Things will change for a lot of our assets (good and bad)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>He did last year as well. IF HE GOT COLORADO BARRIE, which there is no reason why he couldn't have. It just didn't work out. Also added guys who are more physical and defensive than Barrie this year.

I'm not arguing that Anderson will be bad - I think he'll be a fine middle 6 forward, but worth no more than 4 million on a short term deal.</div></div>

You can't force a deal that the team wants. You as a Leafs fan should know that with both Marner and Matthews. They are overpaid with this flat cap and you complaining about the power forward Anderson at $5.5M? Well, a 1 year deal would be worse!

Remember Nylander before this past year? Decent contract today. Anderson can put up Nylander numbers playing with Suzuki, Provide a power forward game Nylander can't, and Anderson at $5.5M is cheaper than Nylander.

Go somewhere else! Nothing wrong with Anderson at $5.5M. You are targeting an injury season and your not fooling anybody Ricky

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Chicago has been very open about giving their young goalies the reins

Byron paced 28 points this year, Johnson paced 37. That's nearly a 10 point difference. Johnson is also a top 6 player on most teams where Byron is not. Sure Byron is a nice piece on any roster... if he cost the same as Toby Rieder.

How can I be underselling him if you are trying to trade him while his cap hit is still 4.35M?</div></div>

Blackhawks are not a 100% rebuilding team. Delia and Subban is not likely what they end up with. I think they will add a proven goalie as insurance.

Pts/game is the better approach with Johnson and Byron and you know it! And you ignored the actual salary and term. All that matters. Byron is easier to move than Johnson. Reality

Allen is better than what you think! His cap hit this year is not low or high. If a team can fit it in and need a goalie, they will consider it. And the AAV in the 2nd and 3rd year is a steal!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Tyler Johnson wasn't claimed off waivers for free and he is marginally better than Byron, why tf would anyone take Byron without a sweetener attached?</div></div>

Blackhawks need a goalie and Allen fits. Fits better than any UFA goalie left on the market

Johnson has more term and a higher cap hit vs Byron. Byron has dealt with injuries in the last two years yes but he's healthy now. Byron's pt/game numbers over the last two years are pretty close to Johnson's. Byron had 4 pts in 10 games with a +4 rating this past playoffs while Johnson had 7 pts in 25 games and a -6 rating. Byron is a great piece to have on any teams roster. Dangerous on the PK and his speed can be a game changer on any given night.

* Johnson is owed $3.75M, $5.5M, $3.75M, and $4.75M
* Byron is owed $2.8M, $4M, $2.8M

You are making a big deal out of nothing. You move them for whatever you can get. It's not as difficult as you are implying. You got a better comparison than Johnson?
