Season Ending State of the Union / Expansion Draft Thread

Yeah that's too good to be true. You're basically paying for 3 of the 5 years of Price.

2-years - upcoming & 2022-2023 seasons

Byron has two left or three?

Fact is that in 2020-21 18th does make the playoffs.. as far as them being in the easiest division that is your opinion,. the fact is no other division had the travel as the north did... like i said, using the Covid excuse goes both ways.

The optics are different for every team in this shit show year

Vancouver and others were doomed

Lets just be happy what we did , in this format

Habsy I could be wrong but my thoughts are if there is nothing in it for Seattle from the Habs. Then they select price

Two like Drouin

Depends on what Seattle wants to do

GM`s are not playing poker side bets like they did for Vegas

Teams are saying , " here are my bad contracts or vets with 2 years to go , take em them off my hands "

Seattle can be capped out if they took on many of them

Price could be an option if they balk at the other salaries

1/8 of your cap space on Price plus a hefty bonus due plays a massive factor. If he was signed to $5m? Sure, no brainer.

Da fuq? You quoted a post I never made. That was Habsfan1. Weird.

That's exactly what this is, a game of chicken.

Finally we agree.. yes i am happy with what this team did..

If ownership pushes for Price due to marketability, star power etc. I think Francis has no choice. What’s he gonna tell his bosses no? That’s a good start with your employer

We have always agreed on our success and will to push through

If Kraken take him but Habs have to pay his bonus this year , is this possible ?

No. His bonus is part of his contract. Can't part and parcel. Cap circumvention.

Wow, it'll be on the deuce. Exposure for the NHL.

Garber though is a very minority...minority owner..

 

[Habsy]

Still a voice in the room.

 

[Habsy]

You have to believe the thought is Carey can get them to the playoffs while they build their farm. They're tempted for sure.

Francis probably has never even heard of him. Also, I doubt that Francis cares that a fanboy owner wants to see a player he likes drafted by him. That’s not how you run a hockey team.
