That 3rd and 4th line would be taking up more than 20mil ( > 1/4 of the salary cap). I don't think it makes sense to be a buyer with so much money being spent on those players still
You have Armia and Dvorak’s contract that are done after next year and can be replaced by Roy and Beck at entree level. I sure hope Habs won’t wait for Gallagher and Anderson’s contract before spending on players!?
Reinhart will not leave a top contending team in a tax free state to pay high taxes on a non contender if he does he will sign with his hometown Canucks.....better chance to get top 6 talent in a trade like for Meier who has been awful this year but is still just 27 and scored 40 last year.
At some point you have to keep some valuable vet players on that teM. We just lost Monahan. And guys like Gally, Armia, Anderson or Dvorak are not what I call useful vets.
Aaron ward made a good point saying you need good vets that are good role models of how to he pros, not necessarily stars. You need to teach them how to be professionals, not to teach them skills.
Like who ? And the guy is Quebec-born on top of that. On the right side, him and Guhle are the only two sure d-man. Barron is a question mark, and Kovy is a #6-#7 d-man. Savard's contract is still good for another season.
I'm fine with keeping Savard for another year. But if I get offered a 1st this TDL, I take it.
I hope not Dumba. They will have to sign him long term, blocking the way to Mailloux and Reinbacher who should be ready by the start of season 2025-26
Well he signed a one year deal this past offseason. Why would he not do it again?
sure. I just named the first guy that came to mind.
Interesting but I am pretty sure the Oilers will soon offer him a new contract. He is very useful to them.
If we are going to retain 50%, why would 1 playoff run with Savard be more valuable than 2? I wouldn't be surprised if Hughes is asking for a 1st in next years draft which is stronger as an asking price since I find it hard to believe a team hasn't offered a 1st for this year's draft.
You find it hard to believe that a team hasn't offered a 1st for David Savard a month before the tdl? What
Most likely he doesn't return a 1st at the tdl. I'm expecting a similar package to what we got for Scandella if we trade Savard (a 2nd and 4th).
Monahan was a slam dunk to return a 1st. The circumstances would have to be very good for Savard to return 1st.
For tax reasons going to be near impossible for Montreal to get Reinhart out of Florida. We would have to offer 2-3 million more to equal his take home pay.
Yup not too long ago
