HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #86: 2023-2024 Season

[HuGo Sham]

Is Allen even moveable without retention?

anal retention

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

For a 3rd rounder with only one season left on his contract? I don't see why not.

If your question is "Is Allen moveable to Colorado without retention?", then my answer is I don't care about customers calling us extortionists.

Are you Galen Weston?

 

[Habs Icing]

baby come back!

You can blame it all on me!

I was wrong.

And i just cant live without you

When you say baby come back, which one do you mean?
This one:


Or this one:

Ha, it would have had to be a donkey story for that.

Great minds think alike but fools seldom differ.

I'll let you decide which ones we are.

LeBrun had an article. It was a first

Well at the time, it wouldn't have been enough for me either...so if he refused a late 1st for Josh Anderson last year, I get it.

Today, might be a different story

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I dunno, all those "rrr's" are really convincing...

Yeah, he's a fraud, don't post it even as a joke because people will take that and run with it.

 

[Vachon23]

I wouldn’t put it past him. He talks about the long term all the time. Signing EP at 12m will be the first block towards Cap issues. Tough to justify 4 million extra over Suzuki with the way Hughes thinks. I’m not diminishing EP, it’s just Hughes has reapeatedlynmentioned his philosophy on salary, retention etc

I do think it’s easy to justify why EP would win 4 millions more than Suzuki.

He’s way better offensively and defensively then him

Offensively yes, defensively not sure

 

[Sterling Archer]

Is Allen even moveable without retention?

I doubt it without at least taking back a bad contract. He’s been pretty awful and has another year. Not exactly desirable.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Offensively? For sure. Defensively? Suzuki has been significantly better defensively this season.

It is easy to justify Pettersson making 4 million more. Beyond buying up more UFA years, Pettersson is one of the best 5v5 point producers in the NHL and is even better on the PP. And scoring costs more.

OG PLaya fool!

 

[morhilane]

So if Allen is traded to Anaheim with no retention they are allowed to retain 50% to move him on?

Yes, a player's salary can be retained twice by different teams. No restriction on who retains outside having the player's rights (including via paper transaction in a 3 way transaction), having the cap space for it, not going above the max retained salaries amount (15% of the cap) and can't have more than 3 salary retained per season.

 

[Habs Icing]

OG PLaya fool!

The UB40 version is a cover of The Equals' song from 1966. I didn't post it for 2 reasons. You're not an old fart like me so wouldn't know it and I didn't want to clutter my post and be accused of sidetracking the thread which I think I may have done anyway.

 

[Omar]

Would we get more retaining 50% on Allen or acting as a third team to retain in a 3 way trade?

 

[Paddy17]

Wonder if they'd take Dvo and a 2nd??

You forgot Harris. C'mon!

 

[sampollock]

Is Allen even moveable without retention?

Nope

Gally crying the blues to Stu Cowan, here is deal Gally you suck...and you make big money

How old is your fart sir? Cause I can assure you, I’m not a young toot.

Can you share your Russian Pravda link to this story?

[Scotianhab]

Anaheim is getting too much and Habs not enough.

Really? If the Habs can get a 3rd rd for Allen they take it and run. Not sure what you’re expecting.

 

[McGees]

Anyone catch this segment?
Can we trade Anderson?

Pagnotta: Teams are looking at Anderson

Dave Pagnotta of The Fourth Period joins Campbell vs Gallo and discusses how tough it would be to fnd and deal for Josh Anderson, but teams are looking

www.tsn.ca

‘Teams are looking at Anderson’
Ya, looking at him like this:

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Team was kinda of depleted by HuGo selling high some quality assets who were acquired by BargainBin. Again, this is open for debate because Hoffman and Pitlick were not. The rest of the depth left behind has negative value due to term or caphit. It's a long list: Dvorak, Anderson, Gallagher, Armia, Price, Savard and Allen. The future looks bleak. Caufield and Suzuki better get used to mediocricy for years to come. Can Matheson, Dach, Newhook, Guhle, Monty, Slaf, and the others coming offer salvation?

 

[Habs Icing]

How old is your fart sir? Cause I can assure you, I’m not a young toot.

Old enough to have listened to The Equals' version on CKGM while I saw dinosaurs munching on the tulips outside my window.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Arpon Basu on the Basu and Godin podcast said he knows the Dallas Stars are looking into Savard and are considering him, plan A for them is Tanev though.

Dallas has a bunch of interesting young prospects.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Mock trade proposed by Sportsnet — no rumors involved.

Getting out of Allen’s contract without retaining and receiving a 3rd rounder? I’m in.

Yup. I'm sold. I'll even take a 4th. A 3rd would be great.

Anaheim is getting too much and Habs not enough.

A 3rd round pick to get rid of Allen? You feel that' not enough?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Really? If the Habs can get a 3rd rd for Allen they take it and run. Not sure what you’re expecting.

It's going to be a low 3rd. Pretty much worthless. I would at least want Anaheim's 3rd. But if they find nothera use for the last retention spot I would probably do it.
