GDT: Qualifying Offers, Buyout Window, & July 1st Free Agency Discussion Thread

[That Habs Fan]

HOLD UP, DUCHENE?

Do it Kent!

 

[Andy]

Kinda a surprise name we haven’t seen rumoured to be bought out

Wow. That's nuts.

He is 32 though.

Contenders will be looking to sign Wheeler or Duchene for cheap. I'm hoping the habs can scoop up one of these guys to turn into some assets at the deadline.

[Takeru]

Buyouts are flying like crazy!
We might take advantage of signing a player on the cheap or other teams needing cap space to sign newly available players.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Trotz and HuGo going to be in a culture battle.

 

[ReHabs]

To be fair the only obvious thing that they've passed on is Michkov no?

What else am I missing?

Their handling of Slafkovsky is bewildering at every stage.

And going forward we will be more cautious and judicious of their actions, they seem confused and not well-aligned. On the aggregate their statements about Reinbacher are inexplicable.

 

[The Great Weal]

So why did they even make the trade?

 

[larek]

Trotz and HuGo going to be in a culture battle.

What's with this culture ?

So why did they even make the trade?

To see if they fit into their culture!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Get Duchene for 1 year and flip him.

Maybe habs will buy out Armia, but that carries 4 years of dead cap, not as at what amount, though

 

[Andy]

Gallagher, Hoffman, Armia is a lot of dead cap and roster space.

I disagree with Slaf, so I won't go any further with you on this as I don't want to argue with you. I've become more appreciative of your takes while reading your thoughts on the draft. So i'll just respectfully disagree.

Your second point I agree, they will be under more scrutiny, the honeymoon is indeed over. But isn't the whole Reinbacher thing clumped in with Michkov anyway?

This still seems like the only "obvious" miss to me.

What kind of money would Duchene get and how long

 

[The Great Weal]

Well Carolina should be all over Duchene. Bruins could make sense too but do they have the cap space?

Also Nashville has 8.8 million in retained salary or buyout this year and 11.8 next year.

[Kudo Shinichi]

I can see him signing for like 3 years x 4.5 M

 

[larek]

I can see him signing for like 3 years x 4.5 M

Would that be pretty tradable at deadline what if he kind of sucked

 

[The Great Weal]

I can see him signing for like 3 years x 4.5 M

Ya it's hard to see Dvorak having much value anymore. Need to retain 50% on him.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Give him 6, or 7 mill..

That seems manageable and makes it so they only have 1 less trade to do. Hopefully we find out before 2 that he is being bought out.

Thought, I thought to be bought out people had to be on waivers yesterday

 

[Habs13]

The thought of starting another season with guys like Armia, Hoffman, Gallagher, Dvorak, Wideman, Allen, Edmunson is something I'm not sure I can stomach. I know nobody else wants these bums either so moving them out is going to be very hard - but they need to be dumped by any means possible. Nobody is giving up picks for anybody but Monahan, and if he has a bounce-back year, we shouldn't trade him anyway.

Buy out Hoffman's last year. Waive Armia. Gallagher is the 13th forward. Wideman gets waived. If we can't trade Dvorak NOW his NMC comes in and we're stuck with him. Waive Allen. Trade Edmunson for whatever you can get.

I would rather lose every game with kids and prospects over playing any of the guys I just mentioned.

 

[Koivu11]

Gallagher, Hoffman, Armia is a lot of dead cap and roster space.

$6.5M until 2027 for Gallagher…such a brutal contract.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Wheeler's on waivers.

 

[The Nightman]

So why did they even make the trade?

Detroit wanted RFA Klim Kostin, rumoured to be getting a 2 year deal from them. Nice bottom 6 player to have.

Yamamoto’s buyout is very cheap too because he is under a certain age. I think it’s something like only 500k for the next two years.

I think most of these players are In Lineup next season

He brings toughness to the team, too.

Remember their 2 game series that pretty much eliminated them from the playoffs Ottawa pushed them around

Scott Mayfield , is a guy 690 says go and get Kent
