Thanks.  That’s where I was looking.  Did I miss the bonuses that were carried over?

 

 

So 8 or 9 million with 3 RFAs to sign probably turns in 4-5 million in cap space ?   
 

i feel like price s contract will come off the books soon into the off season. So that means maybe 15 million ish in space.   But we have to save up to 5 million in bonus room for this year.  So probably around 10 million for the offseason?

Need to be mindful of term of any new acquisition. Have to resign Hutson for 26-27, and Demidov in 27-28.

 

if there is interest in Gallagher, they should move him - not sure I’d want to put money on him scoring 20 again.

Agreed ... I'd take the proverbial "bag of pucks"

He had 16 in 77 and 8 in 37 the two previous years. 

 

the question is health.  So long as he's healthy, he's going to play at an 18-22 goal pace.

 

The other issue is that Gallagher is a possession monster, Arpon Basu was saying on his podcast something like 90% of his linemates in the past 10 years see their possession numbers improve playing with him, than playing separate.

Gallagher has real value to the team. Just not as much as Bergevin committed to pay him.

The bonus carryover penalty was $1,752,500 and it is reflected in the PuckPedia number.  I actually have something written about that to run one day on the main site.  Base cap space would be somewhere in that range with Price on the books.

 

It'll be a while before Price's bonus is paid as reports have indicated it's a September 1 payment, not July 1 so if he is moved, he's probably not coming off the books soon.

 

Most of those bonuses aren't going to be hit.  Demidov at $1M in A is a possibility but it's really hard to get the B.  Hutson is capped at $350K since there's a hard cap of $1.1M cumulative bonus payments on his contract.  Kapanen and Reinbacher could get some of their A bonuses as well but probably not all.  (I do have a section on this in the article to come on the main site.)  $2M is a possibility but it won't be anywhere near $5M.

I actually have another article idea for you and the conversation over Gallagher  hits the nail On the head.
 

 

We always talk about regular season players and playoff players. 

 

 I feel

Like  Anderson and Gallagher are both playoff players.  And we have top line that can compete with most top lines.  Jake Evan’s is a perfect 4th center the way he kills penalties. And I know teams aren’t full of playoff performers.  So I guess I was looking at it differently. 
 

The Habs are not perfect and We are missing on the top end talent on forward and D but I think from top to bottom or lineup has the potential to be deep and very hard to play against.   
 

I know that’s a lot of jumping all over the map but I hope you can see where I’m coming from.
