dlbalr Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The craziness is about to begin with the start of free agency just hours away. With the Habs clearing up cap space yesterday, it appears as if they could be active today. As is our custom, let's use this thread to discuss all the goings-on while any Montreal moves will obviously get their own threads. Personally, if the Habs could hold off on anything until after noon, that'd be great. I'm on PHR coverage all morning so if there is any Montreal stuff, it may take a while for me to get it posted on the main site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 The Leafs complete the Zaitsev-Ceci trade which involved a lot more pieces than first anticipated. It'll be interesting to see if Ceci files for arbitration; his award will be higher than the minimum walk-away threshold so it's possible that Toronto could simply cut bait if they want to save money. Jason Spezza to Toronto, one year at or around the league minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habber31 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Sorry if this was posted somewhere, but Duchene to Nashville 7year/56 million. That's not a terrible deal, if it's true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzer Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I can't see Bergevin clearing cap space for the possibility of an offer sheet, given the teams have a week to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(TO said as much about Marner but that's an exception). If I'm MB and talks with Lee/Gardiner don't seem promising, then I do this 100%.
