Waived: Joel Armia and Gustav Lindström waived (cleared)

[MarkovsKnee]

I'm praying that he will refuse to report to Laval...

I don't see him ever going to Laval. This is either a paper transaction move for cap reasons, and he's staying in Montreal or else Montreal loans him for the year to a Finnish team.

If he's loaned, does it take the contract year of this season meaning he only have one season left?

 

[Habs13]

Somebody, anybody, PLEASE claim Armia!


And PLEASE fix this app before the season starts - I can't even see what I'm typing because of all these add pop-ups. It's disgusting.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

They don't have to. Norlinder, Heineman, Barron and Harris are waivers free. Slaf, too. Two of them will go to Laval to start the season, unless they can trade Primeau OR Ylonen, OR Pearson or any other players.


Allen is one of the rare vet leaders left on this team.

Anderson
Dvorak
Suzuki
Savard
Matheson
Pearson
Montombeau is close to 30
Gallagher

There is enough veterans

plus Monahan

I'm hoping they'll still waive Allen and that they just wanted to save him the indignity of being waived on the same day as Armia.

 

[Habano]

Until Gally is in the 4th line

Or, if they sit him for the first 15-20 games, you'll see how quickly he waives his NMC

 

[Tyson]

plus Monahan

Allen was extended by Hughes, no way he waives him.

Suzuki is 24
Montambeault is 25
And I used the word "leaders"... Dvorak, Pearson, Anderson are not leaders And Gally, not anymore.

Or, if they sit him for the first 15-20 games, you'll see how quickly he waives his NMC

Nobody will trade for him with his heavy contract.

My guess for the next couple of days:

Armia and Lindström clear waivers

To Laval (some are paper transactions):

RHP, Guhle, Barron, Norlinder, Harris, Heineman

That gives them a cap compliant roster of 13 forwards, 5 defenceman, 3 goalies ($20,417 under the Cap).

They then put Price on LTIR. Dvorak and Wideman go on IR.

They call RHP, Guhle, Harris, and Norlinder back to start the season.

This leaves them with 13 forwards, 7 defenceman, and 3 goalies to start the season.

[The Great Weal]

Somebody, anybody, PLEASE claim Armia!

He wouldn't even get claimed at 50%

 

[Habs]

good riddance, you unemotional douche-canoe

 

[HuGort]

Nobody will touch Armia, but would Lindstrom be claimed?

Gallagher is on the hot seat, Roy and Heineman are pushing for a spot.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Don't think armia reports to Laval

Dude is still owed 8.6M in total salary. He'd be lucky to get a fraction of that playing the way he has.

No chance in hell he's giving up that much money.

There's a way to have 10 000$ under the cap if you keep Barron to start the year.

Depends if someone is looking for a plug

 

[eklund the clown]

Nobody is taking that Gally contract unless you get one back that is nearly as bad

 

[HuGort]

Just traded for him.

 

[windycity]

Armia is a frustrating player but he was great at one point on the Habs. There's a reason he got nicknamed one-man-Armia.

It's sad to see how much he fell recently.

Yeah, I remember that game . . .

Download brave browser, my guy.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Wow, with Armia being waived. I thought for sure Habs fans would have blown up the HFB servers.

Out of curiosity, how?

 

[Sagikev]

I can't believe Hughes actually did it, the mad man. Still sucks because he will most likely play top 6 minutes in Laval and take up a kids spot... Kinda sucks but I hope he doesn't report to Laval lol

 

[Whalers Fan]

Gallagher and Price are the last really bad contracts. The Habs will let the contracts run out on their own.

Since Price is permanently on LTIR, there is at least a chance that he could get dealt at some point to a team needing extra cap space (similar to how the Habs dealt Weber to LV). Barring an injury that puts Gallagher in the same situation, it will be almost impossible to move that contract.

Is Rick Dipietro still playing
