Habs acquire Sean Monahan

[GGpX]

Confirmed? What draft?

Not confirmed yet. Just some Twitter people speculating, the "I'm hearing that..." stuff from the blue checkmark folk.

Do the have even have room to add monohan?

 

[Habsy]

Nope

Into the 10% if they didn't move $$

 

[GGpX]

When the season starts and Price is on LTIR, we'll be fine.

 

[GGpX]

There's a second trade pending probably, seeing as nothing's been officially announced anywhere.

Speculate away. Have they found somewhere to send Dvorak?

The suspense is killing me

 

[hairnova]

Crazy that we're coming up on two hours and nothing else has leaked.

 

[Krustchev]

Or the “insiders” f’d up this time.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Seems so at present.

I don't understand this trade if it's just for Monahan. It's not like the Canadiens have a ton of cap space either.

 

[GGpX]

All we can do is wait, I suppose.

I’m wondering why another center. I’m thinking one gets flipped for Dubois or possibly D help.

does it matter?....if you're going to give the Habs a first, they would take a goalie, d-man, or winger off your hands

The Flames had better win a Cup in the next couple of years because those long term deals for Huberdeau and Kadri will not age well.

I though an LTIR player has to be slotted first into the cap space then use the cap relief

Yes that’s why guys like Caufield will start in the AHL on paper. Once the season starts Price can be put on LTIR and Caufield and others recalled.

Who do you mean by they? Not sure Calgary can afford to take on salary if they are trying to clear cap space for Kadri.

My post was a response to Habsy’s “why take Monahan, we don’t need centres” so they = us.

Feasible to get 2 firsts so no brainer move.

I don't think much salary is going back though so HuGo may be working on another deal. While they have LTIR space, running the club in LTIR longterm is Vegas bad.

maybe they can do one more year of Vegas recklessness — lots of liabilities coming off the books next year
