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..

Domi and Kulak or Mete. Plus the #16.Dano and Chariot

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.
Guessing he'll retire. Wouldn't mind him on the 4th line/extra forward taking Kotkaniemi and Laine under his wing.
