    Hey everyone!  We recorded a new Habsworld podcast last night. Among the many topics we discussed the Nick Suzuki contract extension, Carey Price entering the Player Assistance program, the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer sheet saga, along with all of the off-season additions, pre-season moves, and much more.  Please give it a listen. I love any feedback, good or bad.

    If I read everything correctly, CapFriendly shows the Habs with total AAVs of $83,776,370 (includes 24 players, Alzner's buyout and the $597,561 in bonus carryovers from last season) ... putting Weber on LTIR puts them at the NHL roster limit of 23 players and will give the Habs an adjusted "ceiling" of $89,357,140 ... so the Habs have $5,580,770 in AAV remaining that could be spent ... but being over $81.5M makes roster management  trickier.

     

    BTW, ... CF currently shows Byron on LTIR but, as he is expected back around Christmas/New Years I doubt he starts the season there ... his full AAV will have to be included under the cap when he returns, so if he starts the year on LTIR a significant trade would need to be made to make room for his return (or trade him)

     

    I would love to know, exactly what types of bonuses are given to new players on their ELC, and on 35+ veterans on their one year contracts.  So far I have heard only rumours of bonuses for rookies like voting for the Calder trophy and for winning it; also bonuses of games played for veterans. If anyone knows of any recent examples of either class of bonus, please let me know.

    Hi everyone!  I recorded a new HW podcast along with Paul MacLeod and Jonathan Rebelo. Topics discussed include the changes to the team via free agency, the Seattle expansion draft, the very controversial first round amateur draft selection of Logan Mailloux, and much more. These recent podcasts have been recorded using Zoom to help improve the quality. I hope you have have a listen, and encourage you to give us feedback.

    I'm hoping they bring back next year and that he'll be even better because its possible that he might be reunited with his good buddy.  i.e. Getzlaf. 

     

    I would *love* to see Perry back next season.   He's earned another contract, and I think he may prefer to re-sign with the Habs instead of rolling the dice with the Kraken.  It's doubtful to me that Anaheim will want him back as they are going full boar on a youth movement.

    Podcast #76 is now online.  We recorded this after the trade deadline,  and had a lot to say about the Habs.  I believe our audio quality is much improved since moving to Zoom.  Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

    Since we scored PP goal we look good

    On the TSN TV broadcast Carlo Coliacovo pointed out that Burrows has taken over the power play, and draws them up with multiple options for the players to follow so they are not stagnant if a player is neutralized.  He also said that the Habs are (so far) 4 for 8 on the power play!

    Interesting analysis from Guy Boucher in RDS

     

    the new Habs adjustment where forwards come back to support the D on coming out of their zone slows the Jets time to be in position in their trap: creating all those turnover in the central zone 

     

    That is very interesting, and I'm not surprised Boucher picked up on this.  I wonder if he meant that was an in-game adjustment, or an adjustment since Ducharmes took over as the head coach?

    I wouldn't call that a soft goal; Zub walked right in and had all day to shoot it.  Perfect placement on the shot...MAYBE Price gets it if he comes out a bit more and has the angle cut better, but it's a reasonable one to give up.

     

    Price did come out of his net a fair amount to challenge the shooter.  Maybe he gave too much of an angle on his stick side when he did. I called it a soft goal because he was beaten on a the easiest type of shot to stop [wrist] by Zub, an undrafted rookie defenceman who has only other 1 goal to his credit.  This was not a perfect wrist shot from Crosby or Kucherov. It was not a screened slapshot either, or a back door play.  It was the type of shot Price used to stop all the time. 

     

    Carey did play better overall in this game, but I literally held my breath every time Ottawa had the puck in the Habs end in this game.   If I were the coach I would go back to Allen for the next game, then rotate back to Price for Saturday's game.  If DD flips the two starts the other way, that would be ok too but I really don't want to see Price play more than two games in a row until he shows he is out of his slump. 

     

    I wouldn't say Price outplayed the Senator's third string rookie goalie Daccord, whose play was at least on par with Price's.  By the way, Daccord was starting his second NHL game, and had only played 1 period of a game a few days ago.  Imagine if the Habs & Price had lost *this* game!

    How long before DD realizes he has a better chance to win with Allen?

     

    Actually, this is a great situation for "win and you stay in."

     

    I doubt that DD will make that move yet, but maybe he will tell both goalies they are in a strict platoon / rotate in then out regardless of the opponent.  That will give Price *lots* of rest.
