Commandant

Karlsson was going to win until he got injured. Nice Crystal ball you have there, since Karlsson only played 17 games that year.

#### OFF! Posting it once is one thing. Spamming the shit out of the board like you are doing, is being an asshole. It actually makes me hope your podcast fails spectacularly, and does not make me want to listen.

Are you actually going to contribute to this forum in a meaningful way or just spam your podcast as you have in all your posts so far? Asking for a friend.

Columbus thought we would take him cause everyone was saying that draft was Crosby then 4 players then everyone else in terms of tiers... so when we took Price it was "off the board"

Brule was from Vancouver, what would a draft being in Montreal have to do with picking him.

Pleks is an expiring contract. His money will be Price and Danault's raises next year. You could move him, but anyone you acquire with the additional money has to be on the final year of their contract too.

none scored an even strength goal with Subban on the ice. They also played the vast majority of their minutes against subban. Thats a fact. No need to dispute facts.

Campbell was terrible last season. Chicago healthy scratched him or used him as a forward at times.

Only about 7 left to spend. The players who will make our roster are more expensive than the players cap geek has on the bottom of the roster. Habs will save 1.5 million for callups/deadline.

Subban's most matched against forward in each series: Malkin, Toews, Getzlaf, Tarasenko Number of 5v5 goals those four forwards scored in the playoffs with Subban on the ice: 0

Update 7 million approx to spend.

He wanted a 1 year deal. I'm good with 3

The point wasn't needing Johansson. It was that cap space can be used as a tool in making a trade to get a player that fans don't think is available at a relatively cheap price. No one saw the Johansson deal happening. No one was predicting it.

People didn't expect a 24 year old player with 58 points last season to be traded for picks. It happened last week, and between two teams in the same division no less. I'll wait to see the actual moves that are made before I criticize them. You know I've been at the front of the pack criticizing the Subban move, criticizing Bergevin for not getting a centre, criticizing drafting McCarron and in criticizing the deadline pickups. I'll join you if I don't like his next move. But I'm at least going to give him the opportunity to make that move before critiquing it.

And they had that number 1 centre and Weber the year before and didn't win. And they lost that number 1 centre to injury and still won a series with Subban one year later.

Did you see the Devils/Capitals trade this week? Cap space is a tool that can be used, when you are taking on someone else's contract and not taking any deals back. Detroit, Washington, Chicago, will all need to clear space still. Florida wants to dump payroll for budget reasons. There may be more.

I highly, highly, highly doubt the habs have 8 million in cap space when the season opens.

WHAT? How is lindgren 2+ years away? Ready now.... Hudon, DLR, Ready now but won't be on the roster cause no room.... Lindgren. Close... McCarron 1 year away, or 2 depending on how it goes.... Scherback, Lernout, Juulsen, Reway, 2+ years away Mete, Bitten, McNiven, Poehling, and the rest of the 2017 draft class

I don't see how it does. My 6-6.5 million includes budgetting 5.5-6 for galchenyuk. If we move galchenyuk that means acquiring 12 million in salary. Moving him 1 for 1 for a Dman would still leave the Habs drastically under the cap.

Markov yes Or use the 6 - 6.5 million wisely in a trade. Either way one LHD should be acquired. Its July 5th though. and Markov hasn't signed... I'm willing to watch this play out.

Alzner is also good at moving the puck and getting transition started with possession, he's just not a pp guy or a join the rush guy, so its not translating into points, but he moves the puck 1000x better than emelin and is not a chip and chase D.

He has missed 22 games in the last 5 years since he had those leg injuries. He was still the 5th highest scoring ppg defenceman 5v5 last year on those legs.

He was the 5th highest scoring defenceman 5v5 in the NHL last season. (points per game). Lets not get silly with these 2.5 million numbers. Speaking of guys who are older, he had better PPG as a defenceman than Patrick Marleau ($6.25 million) and Joe Thornton (8 million) had as forwards.

Scherbak has two goals already. I wonder what camp he sucks at 690 has to say.

I'd rather Hemsky at $1 mill and still have money left over for Markov. If Markov leaves you can use that $6 million to take on salary in a trade for a LHD or C
