dlbalr Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 T.J. Brodie to the Leafs, 4 x $5M. That's a nice pickup for them but also puts them over the cap with Mikheyev and Dermott needing new deals so they'll have to get rid of someone at some point. Nick Cousins gets 2 x $1.5M from Nashville. That's a good raise for him after being non-tendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Torey Krug to St. Louis, 7 years, $6.5M per. That's one team I thought had no chance at getting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven years helps to do the convincing! And with Pietrangelo leaving, they needed somebody to fill the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Corey Crawford to New Jersey, 2 years, $3.9M per. Chris Tanev to Calgary, 4 years, $4.5M per. Vinni Lettieri to Anaheim which I only mention as I believe the Habs were among the teams pursuing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Boy...Calgary pilfering two Vancouver stalwarts in Tanev and Markstrom. That may well help to rekindle what was once a half-decent rivalry. I think their G will be fine, but the Canucks, who were already pretty sketchy on the back end, will miss Tanev and possibly their equivalent to Mete, Troy Stetcher. They'll need to figure something significant out on D or else regress for sure. They seem now to be paying the price for wasting massive cap space on bloated salaries in their bottom 6. I keep waiting to see them get creative with that dead money - ship someone out somehow, move Erickson to the farm, *anything* - but they seem inert. Ownership's unwilling to eat bad contracts like Molson did with Alzner, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they would listen...but the Habs are not positioned to be able to trade defencemen. There are still some D of note on the market. The Canucks had better sign one. If they can't afford Peiterangelo, they should at least give Barrie a look. One curious aside in all this is that good old Jordie Benn may end up seeing more ice time. He was basically an expensive black ace a good portion of last season. EDIT: As much as l'affaire Cunneyworth soured me on Molson, I'll say this much: he ponies up the dough. Montreal has a rep as an organization that goes first-class. That the interfering real estate moguls who run the Canucks appear unwilling to eat bad contracts shows up the value of having a generous owner. Imagine if Alzner was still on the team because the owner refused to swallow a bad contract, and you see what might be Van's dilemma. Let's be grateful for small mercies.

Commandant Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Seems after the anderson and mete signings we have everyone we need to resign done and about 4.5 mill in cap space give or take and on who is sent to the AHL. Bergevin seems to be slow playing this to see what UFA doesnt have a home at the end of this or what team needs a salary dump trade. Not a bad strategy to be honest.

Ownership's unwilling to eat bad contracts like Molson did with Alzner, I guess. They are in tough with Errickson (2 more years) and sutter, Bartschi really overpaid and even though they’ll Have around $19m coming off the books next year, they have to resign Patterson and Hughes and replace Edler. They really are a team that is screwed with that bullshit Luongo recapture - still don’t get how you can penalize teams for playing within the guidelines of the old CBA - especially after the devils were forgiven when Kovalchuk decided to go back to Russia. if they can some how fond a way to move Sutter and Bartcshi, or just bury him in the minors, they should take a run at Peitrangelo. That would more than make up fir losing Taney - would make things tight. next year, but I think if you have a better GM in Vancouver, this could be a really good team. Getting Taffoli and giving up assets and not resigning really hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyman wasn't a free agent, he's got one more year at $2.25M. Tanev at $4.5M to be on the third pairing behind Weber and Petry doesn't make much sense. 2 hours ago, GHT120 said: < nm > But, is there a way to delete your own posts? I don't think there is.
