Habs protecting Armia not Danault ..
why protect Armia....since he is a UFA like Dano
Habs protecting Armia not Danault ..
More likely interest in Seattle upping the ante on Armia from $2.8M to $3.5-$4M vs team offering $5M for a defensive C in Danaultwhy protect Armia....since he is a UFA like Dano

Must have a deal in place. Makes no sense otherwise.
Seattle signing Armia - Kraken are fcuked... teams have flooded the market w high cap hit supply. W a hard cap can only have so many $6M+ players on a roster...Armia is a very serviceable under $4M contractSure...but the Habs don't need to protect him if they want to sign him. what's there edge here?
Unless they have a deal in place, I don't see why you'd protect either of them over Kulak.why protect Armia....since he is a UFA like Dano

He’s gone.Unless they have a deal in place, I don't see why you'd protect either of them over Kulak.
I could see the whole Danault thing being a wink wink situation. Even if he gets selected he'll "test" free agency and return to Montreal.
Seattle has exclusive 3-day window on all UFAs before open market - Armia is a Francis type, and comes in under $4M cap hitso he can test the market....protection or not
He’s resigning w Habs.
What if Seattle matched Habs offer ..oh yeah zero Wash state tax on income...there be no step 2still doesn't answer why we needed to protect him
step 1
let him off the list and talk to Seattle
step 2
signs with Habs
Definitely possible... but I wouldn't be remotely surprised if this is only playing out this way due to the expansion draft. Why sign him before the draft if you have to waste a protection spot?He’s gone.
