Yeah he was the last guy I expected to sign with us.

Based on one key assumption: UFAs will sign in Montreal.

Let's see if it happens.

You were saying?

More. ~1.5 to 2m I think.

4 years at $6.4m would be fair...a hit of $1.6 per. I do remember reading he wanted a longterm deal...

If we end up tight against the cap, Laraque seems like the obvious choice to cut. Does he have any kind of NTC/NMC?

GGpX · 07-12-2009, 04:20 AM

Put him on the Long-Term IR for the next two years, stating his back was stolen and hidden away in some parts of China and can't be found.

...That would work, right?

PriceIsRight · 07-12-2009, 10:49 PM

What would Lou L.(NJ GM) do?

Ah yes, merci buckets!

GL and Bob are working on a deal and things are going well, according to RDS...Gui also had a few things about the changes by Bob and what he looks forward to. http://www.radio-canada.ca/sports/ho...os-mardi.shtml

Give me the highlights so I don't have to translate it and read it?

Habsy · 07-15-2009, 11:13 PM

It says that Koivu and Selanne will sign with Montreal next year.

Habsy · 07-15-2009, 11:18 PM

Updated to include Latendresse.

Habs currently have ~$5,103,667 left under the cap including their bonus cushion.

Remaining unsigned RFA: Plekanec, D'Agostini, Stewart

You have to think that D'Agostini and Stewart will be signed cheaply after the Latendresse signing.

TheLeftCoast · 07-15-2009, 11:54 PM

I would expect D'Agostini to get about what they're paying Lapierre. Stewart will probably come in at about $500,000. Even if Plekanec gets $2.5M, that still leaves us about $1.5M under the cap.

It feels to me like there's too many guys signed right now. There's 7 defensemen signed (not including Weber or Subban), the forwards are basically set...I feel at least one more shakeup coming.

PriceIsRight · 07-16-2009, 04:09 PM

2.5M? I guess Molsons doesn't mind burning their money. He should get a pay cut.

Habsy · 10-02-2009, 04:43 PM

Assuming Markov misses about 55 games, which is what it is starting to look like, Gainey can use the cap savings. In Markov's case that is ~$3.86M. The Habs had ~ $1.9M in cap space left so Gainey realistically has ~$5.75M (funny that is Markov's actually hit) to go out and get someone. If he moves 46 he would have $9M available. Replacing 46 with someone from Hamilton would run ~$500K so realistically again, Gainey can score a Campbell.

worm · 10-02-2009, 05:02 PM

But Campbell is signed to an 8 year deal.

Im sure we could get him for peanuts...or A/Skos. But having gomez and campbell would not be fun.

Habsy · 10-02-2009, 05:09 PM

Another thing. The Habs are getting cap credit for Skos not reporting.
