Evans is sent to the taxi squad for a day, gets called back up -> scores. Romanov is sent to the taxi squad for a day, gets called back up -> scores. Send Kotkaniemi next.

The non-waiver options are Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, Romanov, and Evans. Which one do you want to upset for future contract negotiations?

"Jake, great play out there. You've really cemented your spot as the 4th line center here." "Thanks Marc." "Ya, so anyway, gotta send you down for a day and have you take a paycut. See you Monday!"

Tear up the Anderson contract. Give him more.

If Capfriendly's armchair GM feature is accurate the Habs have $708 691 in cap space with a roster of 21 right now (Mete the only extra skater.)

I hope Mete goes end-end, scores on Price, then stares down Julien on his way back to the bench. Regardless, replace Lindgren with Allen on Team Red and there's your opening night lineup.

I think a 22 man roster with a taxi squad that includes Weal and Frolik is only ~$41 000 over the cap. If they juggle some waiver exempt guys onto the taxi squad like Romanov and Evans (or even Suzuki and Kotkaniemi) they'll accrue that $41 000 in cap space required in a week or two maybe? So I don't think Perry will be exposed to waivers.

I like Mete a lot. I think he mostly suffers from not realizing how good he actually is. I'd hate to see him figure it out later with a different team, especially with his trade value currently so low.

I am throbbing right now. THROBBING.

Price was apparently smiling pretty widely when talking about how rough it will be for opposing forwards in front of his net.

I'm a bit disappointed to hear there won't be anymore signings (and there probably won't be many trades this season.) I would have liked another centerman option on the taxi squad.

Chara leaves the Bruins and heads to Washington on a 1 year deal. The really weird thing is apparently Montreal tried to sign him, and one of the only reasons he didn't is because of travel complications since he's leaving his family in Boston this season. Now I think Zdeno is washed AF nowadays, but if I shut off my brain and picture a Chara - Romanov pairing... is this how kinks are discovered?

With all the draft capital and prospect depth Montreal has, I wonder if sending Weal with a 3rd round pick to someone like New Jersey or LA would make sense.

Taxi squad.

Precursor to a trade? Bringing in another winger instead of a center seems kinda useless.
