HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2024 Off-Season edition (Mod Warning #2635)

[Pompeius Magnus]

8.25 isn't so bad nowadays for a good goalie. By year 4 of the contract, the cap will be around 100 mil and with that 8.25% he'll take on the cap won't even be double the average % of a player on a full cap 23 man roster, which is 4.35%

Draisaitl will be 3 times (and some extra) this average in the same frame (with a cap at 100m). 14% vs 4.35%.

It's not bad for a number 1 goalie, the issue for me is more that he's never really been one before. It's a lot of money for a guy who never started more than half the games in a season.

No wonder Flames fans don't exist.

I hope Swayman goes full dud this season...

The Boston fan backlash would get toxic real quick and could send him off the tracks long term.

(Nothing against Swayman... He's made his bank. Pure hope for the Bs to be locked in long-term to a mediocre goalie lol)

Nice photo touchups. Everyone looks like they just crossed the Sahara and are being forced to take a picture before being given a drink of water.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Swayman stuff was fun while it lasted

 

[Rapala]

Looks like Boston and Swayman did manage to make peace in the end, unsurprisingly. He got his long term deal for more money than he's probably worth right now and the bruins get to finally turn that page and focus on the season.

Yay I now hope he totally shits the bed.

That would be classic.

 

[Leto]

Huh.

 

[GrandBison]

Huh.

Good bottom 6 player, terrible contract

 

[MasterMatt25]

Ryan Suzuki on waivers

Rasmus’ pick says “I’m being held against my will, get me outta here ASAP”

 

[vokiel]

Huh.

That's some big ass player if I ever seen one.

If only MTL had the balls to do the same with Gallagher or Anderson

 

[gusfring]

Pelletier or Fagemo might be of interest.

Or Jenik?

 

[_habsfan9]

go for Pelletier!

There is no point with Gallagher. No one will take him and he can't be sent to the minors.

With Gally they can’t. He has a full no movement clause.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Fagemo would be okay with me, I always thought he had good potential but he never stuck in the NHL

Terrific AHL guy. 43 goals in 50 games last year, might be the kind of guy Hughes thinks has untapped upside in the right system (AKA no system)

The Sabres went 0-2 but at least they had some fun

 

[JuJu Mobb]

I hope Carolina claIms Sebastian Aho.

Interesting observation. What does that say about the other teams he's been on, including ours.

"I saw Matthews buy at least 8 outfits that afternoon, Willy's head still hasn't stopped growing, and Marner posted over a dozen tik-tok dances. I'm stoked to be with hard working guys like this"
