alfredoh2009 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Now the Lions are welcoming him. Maybe he is closer to Trois-Rivieres than Laval Le Rocket de Laval a annoncé mercredi que l’équipe s’est entendue sur les modalités d’un contrat de deux saisons (2024-2025 – AHL, deux volets et 2025-2026 – AHL, un volet) avec l’attaquant Israel Mianscum.🦁#Lions3R #ForgésEnsemble pic.twitter.com/1bxOuRxqvl — Lions de Trois-Rivières (@Lions3r) June 5, 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Alexander Gordin has been traded in the VHL. The Habs hold his rights indefinitely since there's no transfer agreement with Russia. He got a one-year deal with his new team. https://www.hc-avto.ru/news/8653/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Hope Beck has a great off-season and pushes for a spot in the fall. Canadiens' Beck poised to prove offensive ceiling is higher than expected (sportsnet.ca) “He put together a visualization board for me at the start of the year, focusing on a lot of the things that he wanted me to improve on and the things that he wanted me to focus on.” The big things on it — like cracking Team Canada’s world junior roster — were just as important to Beck as the small things. “Cleaning up after myself in the room and not making any unnecessary work for any other staff members, for example,” Beck said was instrumental in further developing character.

You don't get that done while playing junior hockey unless you have smarts and discipline. Another reason to like him. https://chl.ca/ohl/chl-awards-media-availability-owen-beck-cibc-scholastic-player-of-the-year-award/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 100 drafted NHL prospects ranking: Celebrini, Michkov lead Wheeler’s summer 2024 list - The Athletic (nytimes.com) "Demidov’s one of the most purely talented prospects to come out of Russia in recent memory (his game also has more of a pro style, competitiveness and roundedness to it than Michkov's had at the same age) and scouts really like him. He profiles as a point-producing star winger and PP specialist." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Question for the more "technicalities" informed: Clickbait 30 and various Twits ... err Twitter posters ... are suggesting the Habs buy out Demidov's SKA Saint Petersburg contract so he can come over for the 24/25 season ... are they allowed to do so?

I dont know. If he plays KHL and gets OK icetime, wouldnt hurt if he simply played out his contract. But, would be very 'exciting' to see him jump ship and be at training camp. Dont think is any big hurry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was discussed on the Demidov thread a week ago. I asked Commandant about it. His reply "Without a comprehensive league wide transfer deal, (like the NHL has with the SHL, Liiga, Swiss, Germany, Slovakia, Czechs, etc....) any buyout of a KHL contract goes against the team's salary cap and would be a violation of the rules on ELCs, so its not possible."

No the habs are not as this is an impermissible benefit under the CBA. They have to pay him via his ELC and he has to buy out his own contract with those funds. But of course that is all still based on ELC limits so doing so is near impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t hear that much about him except that he is supposed to be good. The article got me a bit pumped about Fowler and the fact that our team is amassing players that have top end potential.

As noted in the post from @Habs Fan in Edmonton above, COULD the HuGo decide to pay a buyout/transfer-fee if they counted it against their 24/25 cap? The Habs have 2-2.5M in free cap space, even including 23/24 bonus overages and allowing for 24/25 potential bonuses; and, if absolutely necessary, could LTIR Price at some point in the season to increase that (at least avoiding the cap-shackles of Carey starting the season on LTIR).
