Neat. Never know he could carve out a Jalen Chatfield type of role. Good luck to the young man.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Montgomery, Legault and Nikishin years from now would be quite a physical group of defensemen.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Montgomery going to have to get his skating up to work this system

 

[Lempo]

Wait, who's he related to?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Sure, why not?

 

[chaz4hockey]

Entertainment world: Robert and Elizabeth Montgomery

 

[cptjeff]

Wait, who's he related to?

Jim Montgomery's son, obviously.

Very specific salary, magic number within 3$ to max out the LTIR. Will be sent down before our first game, right? And get his AHL salary from that time on… Anyone understands why they included the 1M$ performance bonus that he will most definitely not obtain?

He gets the maximum ELC salary of $950k, but the max allowed 10 percent or $95k is paid as signing bonus, so his official base salary is $855k. If that 854something is legit amount, there's probably some $20 type of joke in the play. I won't do the maths, I got a migraine.

The $1M performance bonus is the new $850k, so the maximum allowed individually negotiated ELC Schedule A performance bonus. He's prolly an ok individual negotiator.

Btw I don't think the current numbers on puckpedia are the correct final ones. Might be some of those numbers are placeholders until the actual details clear out. The lack of signing bonus for a rookie in need of money to settle himself down in his team's town is nonsensical.

Also, f*** you Washington Capitals.

Honestly surprised by this as he never really seemed to have any standout traits?

Ahem

Word is he has one trait many a man would be jealous of

I haven't caught any of the preseason this year, but I seem to remember him being one of the few guys willing to really throw his weight around in the preseason last year. Could be an intriguing add to the defense in a few years.

I don’t think I recall hearing about this guy before, but he is from DC, that is pretty cool.

 

[A Star is Burns]

He was always thought to be a project. If they still like some of the tools, worth a contract.

Exactly. At worse, he's another body in Chicago. (That could be phrased better.) At best, he figures stuff out and becomes a legit bottom-pair guy.

Feel like we've had a few before. Austin Levi? Kevyn Adams was born there

 

[Chrispy]

Wait, who's he related to?

Montgomery Ward.

Dundon’s looking for a minority owner.

I remember a Montgomery Ward store in my town as a kid. Went out of business in the late 70s or early 80s IIRC. I also remember my dad complaining at Christmas because Sears, Montgomery Ward, and JC Penny all had thick catalogs and he was a mailman that had to deliver them.

I wondered what happened to Wards and when I googled it, I was surprised to see that it is still operating as an online retailer. It's clearly not the same company the name/trademarks were sold off, but I never knew there was a Montgomery Ward as an online retailer.

late round pick of ours from the Covid draft years. We technically "lost his rights" last year when we didn't sign him but clearly he stayed on the teams radar.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

The numbers to this contract really don’t make a lot of sense for a low pick who has a very low chance of making the league. It would be different if he had exploded since the draft and became this highly regarded prospect. Just seems weird

My current theory is that puckpedia is not quite up to speed with their new position as the go-to source for player contracts. Curiously Capwages have the same exact nonsensical numbers, and I'm not at all sure who's copying their intel from whom.

Bryce Montgomery | 3yrs x 855K (CAR)

Bryce Montgomery signed a 3 year, $2,575,000 entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes. Montgomery is a physical defenseman focused on the defensive side of the game.

capwages.com

The (base) salary as reported by the Carolina Hurricanes via the article linked on twitter is probably correct, but let's note they don't mention the performance bonuses (reported as "$1M" by PP/CW).

The AHL salary of $55k seems peculiarly low, compared for example to Skyler B, but I have hard time coming up with a scenario where there's some shenanigans with a Games Played bonus to drive it higher. The amount does suggest some give-and-take. OR that Canes PR didn't get the numbers from the team but from PP/CW, but that doesn't seem at all plausible.

Then again, we go Tulsky now doing all kinds of salary stuff even with the star veterans, so.

Did the season btw already officially start so that his contract was technically signed mid-season and the decimals as shown on the cap pages would be pro-rated for the cap calculating purposes? The embedding from Capwages at least does say it's a $2,575M or 3 x 855k contract.

with the start of the season being in Europe over the weekend that's a good question, and could explain some f***ery in the numbers.

The season starts tomorrow. The opening rosters have to be submitted by 5 pm today for tomorrow’s 1st day of cap start
