<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>It requires a bit of cap work, but it's certainly doable even if we extend Tatar &amp; Danault.

There are so many teams that hope their "Edmundsons'" are claimed by Seattle. Yea, I lotta work to be done by so many teams. I kinda think the NHL and NHLPA messed up the cap. Sure favours players that had long term deals in place before Covid and flat cap. The NHL had announced that the expected cap for 20/21 was expected to be about 86m Now its 81.5 for 20/21 and 21/22

You're certainly right on the comparables. Just wondering if it's the right thing to do in a flat cap league and where RFAs on the their year four contracts seem to be making almost UFA money.
Interesting cap situation for the Habs next year with the Petry and Gallagher extensions in place, and if. Allen remains a Hab. 7.4m in cap can be cleared with Armia and Tatar gone as UFAs but then LW and RW positions have to be filled, and KK gets a nice raise and Denault (or his equivalent) to be signed, plus a few more RFA get raises.

Thread: I thought The Leafs Are Supposed To Win The Canadian Division
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheLeafsSeason</b></div><div>Lmao, Vesey is a Sabres reject, and everyone knows this outside of Leafs land. Boo hoo, teams get bad calls all the time. Scared to admit that the Habs are a more complete team than the Leafs? Not that hard at all if I'm being honest</div></div>

Sorry troll. Nashville drafted Vesey. Vesey wasn't signing with Nashville so he could be a UFA on August 1. Buffalo paid Nashville a third rounder to attempt to sign Vesey before August 1. Vesey didn't sign with Sabres and became a UFA and signed with the Rangers. Vesey rejected the Sabres and 29 other teams, Sabres didn't reject Vesey. Gee, first you critique players play when you don't even watch the games, and then you are this site and criticize other for knowing facts about signings and trades. Stay with analyzing the Habs which might be the only team you watch.
