HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #88: 2024 Off-Season Thread

[MXD]

OK and he's not good enough two years later. We don't need to claim him.

Absolutely not.
But we also don't need to have ABB on this roster.

No, we don't.. and he should be an extra but somehow is playing ahead of Kapanen.

 

[Deus ex machina]

After the opening roster so we don't have to operate in LTIR.

Maybe we don't have the same definition of operating in LTIR, but i'm pretty sure they will.

....yeah, fair enough.
Anyways, I think Pelletier is more of a player to trade for than a player to claim. Ideally for a player the same size.

That's the other element is we don't want to artificially inflate our contract slots either.. I'd send RHP for him, or something.

Habs current 23 man roster is not cap compliant, they can paper transact Xhekaj to be under the cap for 5pm, but once they call him back they need to use LTIR.

Yes but being compliant and not in LTIR by the roster deadline does something for them as far as cap space in season, rather than using off-season LTIR.

In-season will just allow them to maximize their LTIR space compared to off-season, but they don't need that much LTIR space and Hughes wanted to use none of it, but since he didn't make the moves to make that possible....here we are.

I'm no capologist but the intention all along was to wait until the season started to put Price on LTIR.

 

[BaseballCoach]

I'd paper demote Anderson just to make a point.
Go ahead someone claim him.

That had to be done yesterday. Only waiver-exempt players can be demoted today.

It's the same thing as last year when they put Dvorak on LTIR before the start of the season to be cap compliant.
They'll operate on LTIR as soon as they put Price on it regardless.

Off-Season LTIR and in-season LTIR are different, though. That's what has been stated time and time again regarding the Habs not wanting to do things that require putting Price on off-season LTIR.

I had the same discussion last year...lol

Yes, they'll wait before the season starts to put Price on LTIR, otherwise they'd lose around 7.5M in cap space. But that doesn't mean that they can't put RHP on it now. He only makes 1.1M and they are 3M over. So they'll still be over even with RHP on it.

They did the same thing with Dvorak last season.
The thing is, they have to be under the cap but not too much, otherwise they ''lose'' the difference between their collective cap hit and the cap ceiling.

Ahh makes sense thank you.

 

[Habs]

So we can't do what Vegas did and bury Price's contract? Gary just sucking Vegas balls as usual? probably been discussed by I just caught this.

 

[Hannibal]

I would have pick Imama before Pelletier god damn.

We have enough smurf, we have enough injury prone players.

 

[1909]

Imama and Viel are on waivers. Pick one please !

 

[Captain Mountain]

Why are you writing as though Montreal has or hasn't claimed a player before the 2pm deadline?

 

[Hannibal]

I would be surprise if we did.

But i wouldnt say no to imama though.

 

[417]

They don't want a face puncher

Actually, theres rumor there trying to find another physical player to support X. Hope this is true.

 

[Deus ex machina]

I don't think they will demote Hutson because of his performance bonuses.
With Heineman and Kapanen seemingly making the team, i think they're about 3M over.
My quick guess would be paper-demote Xhekaj and Heineman and put RHP on LTIR.
Far from optimal, but i don't think they have many options.

If Jakob Pelletier can't make the Flames.. let's be real here.

LOL
I hope they are in tank mode by week two so we can take a serious shot at Andersson sooner than later.

Yup something to Columbus for Olivier just won't die.
