Thread: A Deal that Makes Sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Inthewrist</b></div><div>I can see that, though it might not hurt to tie him up a bit longer. As for money for Romanov, Suzuki and Dubois; there will always be a market for Allen; by that time, Primeau should be ready to take his spot. And more importantly, Byron would be down to his last year, which will make it easier to mover him as well with the help of maybe a pick. Also, 2-3 years from now, I'd be shocked if the cap was still 81.5M.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CLR</b></div><div>Sure but still; Romanov , Dubois and Suzuki will get huge contracts . It’s gonna hurt</div></div>

Even with Toffoli, KK, Edmundson, Chiarot, Allen and Byron gone, you STILL dont have en enough capspace for Romanov, Suzuki anf Dubois raises.

By the new work deal, the cap wont go up until the leagues makes profit for 2 years. So no it wont anytime soon.

Just keep Toffoli and KK, cheaper options, and you nee to chose between Danault and Tatar.

Thread: Proving Campabee Dubois can fit under the cap in 2 years
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>I dont agree on that... Suzuki is better than Dubois meaning that we already our best center since Damphousse. Dubois is great but overrated by many habs fans because hes from here. He's big, kinda fast and isnt scared to go into the dirty area. However, he doesnt have the hockey mind of Suzuki (or KKs), the hands of Suzuki or the shot of KK (Suzuki also have an elite shot). Also, he's not even solid in the faceoff circle (well below 50%) and based on advanced stats (taken in a text from The Athletic), he allows more shot then generate them when hes on the ice.

Still, I would love to have him and I would like to entertain the idea of playing him on the wing of either KK or Suzuki and build an amazing top 6 instead of providing one of the 3Cs with 3rd-4th line wingers on the long term. It would also depends on the price in assets and in money that we would have to pay to get him (and keep him). I really feel like it isnt worth it.</div></div>

Different players have different skills. One thing for sure, Suzuki will never be a powerfoward like Dubois. He played HUGE in the 3 playoffs he already participated in.

Anyway, comparing Dubois to Suzuki or KK is irrelevant here. I'm not promoting trading Dubois for one of them here (Im against it) , I'm suggesting ADDING him to them.

Thread: Proving Campabee Dubois can fit under the cap in 2 years
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Ok the cap works (sort of) but look at the overall team. This is way weaker than what we have now. Sure Tatar probably walks in FA and maybe Armia. However we still lose 4 roster players and basically 2 top prospects (1st pick factored in)</div></div>

I'm not sure where your insecurity comes from. Teams loses UFAs players every year...

Yes you are loosing prospects, it's what you give to get a big french 1C. Gotta give something to get something.

I totally get it if you prefer to keep the prospects and build the team slowly, but by the time those prospects make it to the NHL, Price and Weber will be retired, fishing somewhere in B. C.

Whatever your building strategy, I just wanted to confirm that Dubois doesn't make it impossible to manage the cap long term.
