pei#1habfan Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) lets take a look at the players we have signed forwards (10) sure bets to make the team C koivu 4 750 000 C plekance rfa 1 500 000 / 2 000 000 C smolinski 2 000 000 w kovalev 4 500 000 w ryder rfa 3 300 000 w higgins 1 700 000 w begin 1 058 000 w latendresse 850 000 w kostitsyn 786 000 c/w maxim 583 000 total salary for the 10 forwards signed $ 21 million 3-4 forwards from this group will make the team c chipchura 1 000 000 c locke rfa 500 000 / 800 000 c grabovski 725 000 f murray 600 000 w ferland rfa * 500 000 / 800 000 w milroy rfa * 600 000 / 800 000 w salmelain 700 000 w lathi * 850 000 so lets say the 3 with the * make the team that would bump the salary up to 23,250 000 ( 13 FORWARDS) NOW THE DEFENSE ( 7 d men) total $ 17 850 000 1 markov 5 750 000 2 hamerlik 5 500 000 3 bouillon 1 875 000 4 dandy 1 725 000 5 komisarek 1 700 000 6 striet 600 000 7 georges rfa 700 000 GOAL ( 2 ) TOTAL $ 3 375 000 1 huet 2 750 000 2 halak 500 000 so the total salary of the team of 13 forwards 23 250 000 7 d men 17 850 000 2 goaltenders 3 375 000 1 buy out cullimore 620 000 totaL $$$$$$ 45 095 000 so that gives gainey around 5 - 6 million he can spend . here are a few forwards we could add to help score some goals. 1 forsberg 5 million ? 2 selanne 5 million ? 3 shanahan 4-5 million 4 kozlov 4 million 5 guerin 4 million 6 yashin 2 million 7 lindros 2 million so if you sign 1 of these free agents that would mean one of the 13 players listed above would then go to the ahl and there salary would not count against the cap. so u sign shanahan for 4.5 million it would only be costing the habs about 3.8 million so gainey we need 1 more offensive player lets go get 1 please.

TruthMonger Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 That looks like it took a lot of work. Saskhab has been doing a great job with the rolling total in this thread: http://forums.habsworld.net/index.php?show...11474&st=60 You can't spend up to the cap limit or you won't be able to bring up an injury replacement, let alone have the flexibility to make deadline deals. You should assume that the team will remain at least $2 million under the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Big cap allows for us to absorb a fat contract in a trade. Ryder is going to arbitration. He might get a 5 million ruling. Don't call me crazy. We've seen this before. Arbitration can BITE! BOb might trade Ryder's RFA rights, Halak and perhaps Plekanec to acquire a marquee player. I don't like the Plekanec idea. I'm not agreeing with it nor subscribing to it. Don't shoot the messenger. But it has been suggested in some forums. Spector even said the possibility is out there with regrets for losing Pleks. I have to point out that this is mostly analysis. No Pleks rumour leaving Montreal exists nor did Spector say so. Something huge may be coming.

bigbird19 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Welcome the the site ! The issue's I have with your math is Ryder. 3,300,000 ? 2.75 at best. 1 forsberg 5 million ? Maybe 2.5 with survival clauses. 2 selanne 5 million . I think he'll retire. 3 shanahan 4-5 million. 2.5 max. with perfoormance bonuses. 4 kozlov 4 million. Pass. 5 guerin 4 million. Pass. 6 yashin 2 million. 2 years with no NTC/NMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Mr. Gainey....let the kids fight it out in September, then leave lot's of room for trades or deadline deals in March. Soyez patient M.
