HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[red devil]

Should they kept the mistake going?

Getting rid of PLD is a positive but the price they paid for him could have been used in a much better way to improve the team

 

[The Great Weal]

Well. if we can't find a way to get rid of Anderson, I'm going to be disappointed.

Hughes will probably hold onto Anderson to have him bounce back even a little bit. We will need to retain 50% on him.

Dear God, please no.

It's still a sign of a good manager to move on when they realize that they made a mistake. Maybe Dubois will be a better fit in Washington but get rid of that contract for the Kings is a good move.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Goodrow getting claimed and now PLD getting traded without retention or a sweetener ? Are GMs trolling us ?

 

[waffledave]

Why would Washington do this?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Kojak should be on the phone, today is the right day to trade the Power Donkey.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Why would Washington do this?

Lindgren stole Kuemper's spot.

Then they are in a spot where if PLD comes back to form, it's a net win for them.. if he doesn't, well they are headed for a heavy rebuild anyway and his contract is any sort of issue for them throughout that process.

 

[Redux91]

All I can say is

LOOOOOL
How wrong I was about PLD, damn
Heartless after all

I'm blown away LA identified the mistake so fast and somehow have gotten out of this contract wow

T'ai inutile Pierre-luc calisse, wow

 

[Paddyjack]

Hmmm, is there a way we can pretend Anderson would be an asset for Ovi to reach Gretzky's goal record?

You never know, "THEY" may be reading the board.... ;p

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Douchebois traded is hilarious to me

LA sold the farm for, Darcy Krumper lol

 

[CapSpace]

Seriously Dubois must be one hell of a pos.

 

[Mudz]

decent trade by Washington. Buying low. Can help Ovi purse the record. They have the cap space and they needed a center. PLD was 3rd in LA, he'll get more minutes in WSH

Even if they go into a rebuild, if he plays like he did last season, 7 years is a long time at that cap hit. That’s a pretty big gamble that the Caps just took.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

LA fans all told us he would turn the corner, he has the sun, the girls, the beach

Gets to live the life now that he escaped Columbus and Winterpeg

Woof, never change Pierre

It's a long time but the cap will go up now that we are out of the pandemic impacted years, as the contract ages, the percentage of cap it eats goes down.. and if he's still trash, by the time they are competitive again, there's likely 1-2 years left at most.

The real issue is them not accepting it's over and starting their rebuild now but they are doing right by Ovechkin and he's earned that.

If Dubois get back on track, he could be a nice to have in a rebuild process. He's only 25...

Agreed it is smart to realize a mistake and fix it. If you have too many mistakes then either there will be too many to fix or you won't be the one fixing them.

 

[Shred]

Good move for Washington. Dubois should be happy being the guy on a lottery team playing first line minutes uncontested with no pressure. Only there to pad Ovechkin’s stats and his own in the process, plus get summers off for the same pay.

Maybe for Korpisalo? Sens are trying to dump him, and Flyers goalies are complete shit now that they don't have Hart.

They're all worked up over the 5m cap increase. Expect some questionable UFA deals too.

Some people truely don't deserve the talent they were given.

PLD is garbage. Always has been, always will be.
