Klefbom is a great fit, on paper at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klefbom was averaging 23min a night, this past season and was a basically a 40pt d-man the year before. At 24 years old and a 4.1 million dollar cap hit, they're not just trying to dump this guy.

To be fair, our second is a mid 30 pick. That’s a pretty valuable pick. And honestly, Chiarelli has made worse moves already, I wouldn’t put it past him. but I agree that it’s not much to pay for Kelfbom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who does Edmonton have to replace him? I don't think they are drowning in defense prospects right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not what Friedmann and McKenzie are saying. Hes going to be the cap dump to fit in the McDavid/draisatl etc... contracts. No one will take lucic or russell. They dont want to trade RNH. They are going to need to make cap room somehow and theyve decided hes the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link67 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Klefbom sure would make a nice addition playing along side Weber, a good Puck Mover playing with Weber is exactly the combination that would yield tremendous success for that top pair. Because it is so obviously a good fit for us, I am going to go ahead and predict we sit on our hands about it, and let the opportunity to balance our top pair in such a great way, slip on by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Habs offered more money too If I was to wager a guess, they offered $6.5M per year to Edmonton's $6M but Lucic considered playing with McDavid to be a sure thing for his career. According to Capfriendly, both Russell and Lucic have no movement clauses for another two years before they have to provide any lists. So neither playing is going anywhere unless they want to leave. Russell is loved by the old school types who coddle him while Lucic is Lucic. I doubt either agree to leave unless pushed to. But if they did say, "Yes let's goto Montreal" I could see Bergevin's final plan getting the roster to include a defence of Weber/Russell/Alzner/Benn and a top six including Lucic, Shaw, and Callahan. Then he could act dumbfounded when they don't make the playoffs after having so much attitude and character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Friedman and McKenzie are right then 2 second round picks plus a little makes sense and may do it if they don't want to add any salary. This would be a very good addition for us.

John B Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I wouldn't touch anyone with a NMC unless they were going to be a vital part of the organization moving forward or their contract expired after this upcoming season. There is another expansion draft coming and those players will need to be protected (unless they waive they're NMC, which is unlikely). Otherwise, I would be all for acquire cap dumps with NMCs for additional assets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illWill Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The Oilers are a logical trading partner with the Habs, just a matter of what kind of deal they can hammer out. Perhaps something like To Edm: Pacioretty, the 3rd overall pick and a 2nd round pick To Montreal: Nugent-Hopkins, Klefbom and the 10th pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Karl Alzner has been in the 'popular buyouts' section of Capfriendly since the playoffs started. He basically only leaves the top spot when a team gets eliminated from the playoffs and all of the fans look into buying out whoever underperformed, then Alzner goes right back to the #1 spot. For those wondering, it's not a feasible contract to remove. https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout_calculator/karl-alzner#results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be shedding salary and increasing offensive output. Pacioretty - McDavid - Puljujarvi Lucic - Draisatl - Zadina Montreal fills some holes in the lineup, can also draft a great prospect at the #10 spot, and can still go shopping for free agents on July 1st Galchenyuk - Nuge - Gallagher Lehkonen - Drouin - Scherbak Klefbom - Weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
