Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 6 hours)

[Hannibal]

You'd probably have to pay something to move Dvorak now with the salary cap being used for most teams at the start.. and if just getting Pezzetta in the line-up makes us a tougher team to play against and not a bunch of 'ballerinas' then I'd say we are splitting hairs here.

And what about waiving the f*** out of him like we did for Armia last year?

We have a demidov 2 days in advance pre game thread but no Habs one

We are literally ass stephane stop

Both MSL and Suzuki mentioned how there was going to be more accountability this year. Hopefully that's not the "vets get a freepass and young players do not" version of that.

 

[Paddyjack]

Keeping the only player who could have potentially softened the blow a bit was too obvious. Instead we cut him in favor of a career AHLer.

Maybe because that carreer AHLer came to the camp wanting to show something, and he did, contrary to that gem you are talking about who has shown no hunger during camp. Things like that get noticed by the coaching staff. It is tolerated for a vet, but not for a youngster who wants to win a spot.

Predicting cole caufild with 2 goals tonight. Slaf with 1g 1A and slick nick with 3helpers. Lets go.

Then you have 0 left shot centers for the entire team. Our lack of left shot centres is an issue.

We have a lot of issues. Having no left handed center, is way down my list of importance.

A good old one timer from Caufield, please thank you. Would be great.

Having a left shot center with experience in the line-up is higher on my list of importance than Pezzetta coming in the line-up to maybe have a staged fight with Lorentz.

There's enough players on this team to dress both Dvorak and Pezzetta...

Lets resign Dvo to a multi year contract!

Yes, there is.. but I also don't see Pezzetta providing much value here. The Leafs aren't gritty. They don't have a middleweight that's gonna go with Pezzetta.

No, let's let him get us to the trade deadline and address the hole in free agency/trades later on when it is prudent to do so.

If that's the criteria, then we'd dress like 8 skaters, one of them being Dvorak because he's a LHS Center.

With his French accent and mumbling, a reminder of Lord Ducharme.
"Ouaille note osse? Ouaille note now?"

We win tonight and it will all be god how awesome we are again
Puck didn't drop yet, how about we don't fire anyone yet?

Ducharme is more like "Ouaille noth osth"

I can’t wait for that bottom 6 to change next year.

I am still shocked that BOTH of Anderson and Gallagher are still here and not just 1

But knowing it's because both had 3 years left isn't surprising that it's hard to move them

Should get a tad easier after, sigh, this next year bringing it to 2 years left each

Have to imagine 1 get traded and 1 get bought out next summer

But once the rest of the (3 problem) contracts are gone, we'll fiiiinally be able to build a real team

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Habs are already using LTIR (off-season one at that via RHP), they won't be accruing anything until both RHP and Laine contracts are removed from LTIR and the team is under the cap or they move about $3m of salary (if puck media is accurate) before those two are removed from LTIR (they need to stay there for 24 days minimum).


Woll didn't look like a guy who wasn't going to play tonight yesterday...

Yeah, of course, they're not accruing space, but that doesn't matter. We're going to have enough space to do what we want regardless.
