Heās obviously familiar with both of them - Danault from his Hawks days. Apparently Jets have been interested in Domi for a while as well.Dano and Chariot

Problem with Domi is Jets are capped out , they don't want his new salary
Dano and Chariot at under 6.5 is better for them
I understand your logic of getting a sniper we haven't seen since Richer but now sure Nero will trade these character guys

Everyoneās expecting to be a brutal offseason for UFAs seeking $ and term, in a limited revenue & flat cap NHL.
IMO itās a mistake to overlook the significant impact lack of revenue will have on majority of NHL teams - most offseason moves IMO will be more akin to Expos fire sales vs legit hockey deals weāve come to expect in recent memory. Itāll be all about $ in vs $ out.
Habs are uniquely positioned to put together low cost digestible package AND absorb opponents salary dump
Have teams are in a position to put the non-haves over a barrel. Letās hope the Habs are one of the āhaveāsā....
Agreed , but 4.5 mil went to Jake and Edmundson will probably get 4
Doesn't leave much cap space to absorb salary

Habs have over $14M in available cap space presently - including the $1M margin for putting Alzner in AHL. Even if Edmunsdon gets $4M thatās over $10M not including $ that goes the other way in potential deals.
From a cap perspective thereās enormous room to be honest..

Not next year...it's not like Edmunsdon is gonna sign a 1 yr deal.

If he wants term, then annual $ needs to come down.

Edmunsdon will sign a Chiarot type deal..thatās very digestible.
I donāt see Tatar being resigned ($5M) - roster spot replaced by Caufield, Allen will be gone ($4M) - likely replaced by Primeau, Byron will also likely be dealt next if not this offseason.
Thatās minimum $8M+ to be used towards Gallagher & Danault re-signings and any remainder towards Petry.
Not at all concerned with Habs being in cap hell...more curious if the team quality improves

I think a lot of teams are going to want to be under the cap next year by quite a bit. CAP room and internal budgets are completely different. You make it seem 10m = 10m to spend, that's not even close to the case. It might mean maybe 4-5m max to spend. If they aren't resigning Tatar, they need to trade him, he's probably worth a mid 1st round pick + a B level prospect.

I can care less what other teams do. Getting a 1st for Tatar does no good when the Habs goal is to make the playoffs. Use him for his 20+ regular season goals and kick him to the curb - treat it like a deadline rental. Or should an opportunity arise to deal Tatar as a swap or in a package for an improvement by all means.
I have zero doubt Habs will spend to the cap with perhaps $1M-$2M for in season maneuvering. The owner has mandated an end to the retooling.

Looks like Mikko is getting the Saku treatment. Will he finish out his stretch in Anaheim as well?
Guessing he'll retire. Wouldn't mind him on the 4th line/extra forward taking Kotkaniemi and Laine under his wing.
Regime was hot to trot for Komi
