  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Retaining 50%
Click to expand...

yeah, I would have rathered used our retention spot on Armia, Dvo, and Savard.

But I wanted to retain our last retention spot for Savard because I thought he would have great return value. But in today's market he probably wouldn't have gotten much more than a 2nd.

We could still trade Savard for a 1st if we find a 3rd party team to give a 4th or a 3rd to to retain on him for two years.

Habs have one retention slot next year. Should be used on one of Savard/Armia/Dvorak.

I feel like Dvo could be flipped in the off-season. I don't see a future for him here despite our obvious lack of depth at C. He's unreliable to be healthy and isn't great when he is. His defensive play has dropped.

Most of the whiners can shut their pie holes now.

Let Hughes do his job. He's great at it too.

Especially if he had no intention of trading Savard or if the ask was a 1st+ which wasn't going to happen. Or Savard could move with a cap dump coming back.
 
I know we're retain almost 2M for next season but that's pretty good return for the teams backup. Wonder how many games he needs to play.

I'm still a bit peeved about the Petry retention. This one makes sense however. Good deal by Hughes.

I'm quite annoyed at that. The worst part is he kept apologizing to Petry for taking so long to flip him again. There's no reason to be accommodating to that loser who actively hurt the team, wanted out, and pouted all season. If Petry had an issue with coming back to Montreal that's on him and his agent for not including us on his NTC.

Anyways, Allen one definitely makes sense, but it was a terrible contract that Hughes gave in the first place (though not MB level bad).

I think for him own good, he could use a fresh start. His game style also doesnt match our playing style (it was always an awkward fit).

Savard was always a bit of a long shot because he actually brings something to the team. Allen was clearly a 3rd wheel and had no place in the team anymore.

A third team could always be used to retain on Savard

I agree that it's a possibility, but has it ever happened?

Have you heard of a 3rd party team that retains at the TDL for the remainder of the current season plus the full following season?

How do you flip a a guy who is injured though? For future consideration with retention?

By Jake! Happy for Primeau, mostly.
