tomh009 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Very happy to hear that he's in Montreal, that's a strong indication that they are expecting him to play this season yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for him too. I have been really impressed with the professionalism Allen has exhibited this year. He is a class act. I am always impressed whenever I see him interviewed.

Commandant Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Primeau sent to Laval. Which means Price's knee checked out and he can either start or backup tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's necessarily that. Laval plays tonight and he needs some game action (Toronto has lit up Poulin the last two starts and they play them again tonight). He makes the start for Laval and then is brought back up (still emergency conditions) for Friday's game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't always work that way though. If he is still getting swelling this long after the operation then it is not a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stays on the cap but the Habs would be able to spend up to his AAV (less any existing cap space) for a replacement. Between his deal and Weber's, Montreal would basically be operating in offseason LTIR territory unless they're able to clear Weber's deal off the books.

dlbalr Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Another iffy-sounding injury update. That also probably takes away any chance of trading him or buying him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Price goes on LTIR, there is really no point trying to move Weber's contract. Once you are LTIR, the restrictions are the same no matter how many contracts are on LTIR. If Price and Byron both end up there, the cap situation suddenly totally changes complexion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong on the restrictions being the same but in terms of opening a contract slot and trying to stay in compliance with the summer cap to avoid offseason LTIR, there's still enough of a reason to try to move Weber's deal. And if Montreal winds up selling off some veterans midseason, Weber's contract being off the books might allow for the possibility for the Habs to get out of LTIR altogether and bank some cap space to apply towards what could be a very pricey bonus situation for 22-23.

Wonder how the NHL would consider his playing a complete game last night and then saying he can't play next season vis-a-vis LTIR ... there is also his recent 'not wanting to be a burden' statement ... might he be the first NHLer (that I can think of) to officially retire with guaranteed years left on his contract ... seems very unlikely, but "not a burden" and LTIR don't exactly fit together ... unless by burden he meant playing and not performing well.

No, he will just hang out with Web's in Kelowna and wait for Gallagher to join their LTIR golf group in a year or two. And Price will keep collecting his $50-75,000/week ...wouldnt you?

It's the same thing as Weber. What will help is that he missed most of this season with the injury so it's not as if it's something new/unexpected. As for not being a burden, I think that will mean if he can only play sporadically, he'll accept being put on LTIR permanently rather than trying to play here and there which would be a huge burden for the team as they wouldn't be able to replace him. He's not leaving more than $30 million in cash on the table and officially retiring. 18 minutes ago, tomh009 said: I did forget about the contract slot. But if Price and/or Byron is also on LTIR, moving Weber's contract won't really help with the off-season LTIR, will it? The cap ceiling in the summer is 110% of the Upper Limit which is $90.75 million this summer. If Weber's off the books entirely by trade, it's a lot easier to stay under that number and avoid offseason LTIR even with the others potentially being on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
