Trizzak Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 First buyout period is done, and some RFAs went unqualified, but some UFAs will sign before the frenzy starts at noon tomorrow. Discuss it all here. (Any Habs signings will get their own thread, of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan89 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 So who do we get to make up our new energy 4th line? Once we got one it worked so well especially in the playoffs. Staal and Perry might not be back with the team, so who's their replacements 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Top six needs upgrade more than worrying about bottom six or to 'fully' replace Weber. Use Weber caproom on a top six scorer hopefully...unless can drag Hamilton to Quebec, or trade for similar top pairing guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Getzlaf, like Perry, is a fourth liner now over an 82 game season. I'm not sure he's a Danault replacement. For the right price I'd take him as that line can be strong in playoff hockey, like Perry-Staal-Armia was, but I can't see it in regular season hockey. I think we need a centre who can put up points.... Wallmark, Granlund, Pius Suter, Christian Dvorak (via trade) something like that needs to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Why have 2 members commented about Perry leaving? I figured he'd be back for sure. 21 minutes ago, Commandant said: Getzlaf, like Perry, is a fourth liner now over an 82 game season. I'm not sure he's a Danault replacement.

I think we need a centre who can put up points.... Wallmark, Granlund, Pius Suter, Christian Dvorak (via trade) something like that needs to happen. I totally agree that in a 82 game season theres no way Getzlaf could replace Danault. Even in the playoffs he wouldnt be able to replace Danault. However, even though he's older now he can still do numerous things that Danault cannot. ex: better scorer - especially on PP, hitter, and fight. If Perry can get him here for a decent price it would make sense to sign him. I still say the Habs need another F that is 6'2"+ 225+ lbs, that can score some goals, can hit hard and is capable of throwing a solid punch. Thay have 4 large dmen but they're all jokes at fighting. Anderson is the only 1 that can throw a solid punch, but he's too valuable for offence, that left Perry, who was also too valuable to the offence.

Krejci is a UFA center that can be our 3rd line checking center to replace Danault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krejci is still a top-six player (he's not much of a checker at all) but he has said he'll re-sign with Boston, go back to the Czech Republic, or retire. It doesn't look like he has any intention of playing for another NHL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the idea of Suter, who is still young. But, assuming he's still available come tomorrow, what would he cost? What about Granlund?

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I was hoping for an elite score to... but that's a pipe dream cause I'm no Hoffman fan... Getzlaf would be a solid 4th line C pick up to pressure Evans and Poehling to perform.

alfredoh2009 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) My RHD UFA list is short, now that Barrie has re-signed with EDM (My preferences highlignted): (#1) D. Hamilton at no more that $7.5M/yr (#2) D. Savard at no more than $4.5/yr C. Ceci at no more than $2.5/yr (overpayment if desperate) If that fails, then I would resign one of: J. Merrill at no more than $1.5/yr (the cheapest option) (#3) E. Gustafsson at no more than $2.5M/yr Edited July 28, 2021 by alfredoh2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
