My “gut” is hesitant re: Eichel. Bad mojo and negative leaderbean?

Yeah, his name caught my attention too. Age might be an issue, but he still looked effective. Term is the issue.

Fair enough. The DOB is a concern. Protected by Pietrangelo? That dude is a fucken horse.

Habs seem to be pissing teams off: Price doesn’t see specialist till after expansion draft and Weber’s medical picture will not be clear till closer to training camp...
Good times for the Ministry of Misinformation

That’s the amount a team can surpass the cap by during off-season I believe

I can't say i mind finally be the team that takes advantage of the holes in the system. It's also vindication for all those that said people shouldn't worry about cap implications until it actually becomes an issue.

it would be too good
It’s also possible that the Canadiens WANT Seattle to take Price off their hands. This is likely the last and best chance to get rid of his onerous contract without a very prohibitive buyout in a couple of years. He’s unlikely to replicate his playoff performance any time soon, if ever again. Just saying.

From one thing posted, it sounds like Price took the initiative in proposing and waiving. And overall it makes sense:
If they don't claim Price, then you keep Allen who is a good backup, especially if Price has some nagging injuries that keep him out. Having someone who can fill in during the regular season but has no problem with sitting for the playoffs is great.
If they do claim him, he's from out West, so he's probably fine with that to some degree, and it's a good way to exit Montreal without some ugly trade demand. Everyone can just say "we never thought this would happen!" And he probably doesn't get booed when he comes back to play. Montreal saves a metric ton of capspace.
So all in all, if he's willing to live with the small chance at getting picked, it only makes sense. And especially if he knows how hurt he is, he knows that no GM would take a chance on him, so his best chance at making it back to the playoffs is making sure the team has a useful backup.
