Mr. Nasty Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) Below is a link to a breakdown of the Habs salary commitments at hockeyanalysis. As it stands now, the Habs have 21 guys signed and a payroll of 39.25 million. Players not yet signed are Ryder and the prospect that will fill the last roster spot. Given a rough estimate of signing Ryder (2-2.5) and the prospect at 800k the Habs will have a current salary commitment of roughly 42-42.5million. Subtract roughly 1.4 million if Aebischer is replaced with Danis. http://hockeyanalysis.com/?page_id=329 Salary Cap Commitments 2006-2007 C Saku Koivu 4,750,000 RW Alexei Kovalev 4,500,000 LW Sergei Samsonov 3,525, 000 G Cristobal Huet 2,875,00 D Craig Rivet 2,565,000 C Radek Bonk 2,394,000 C Sheldon Souray 2,242,000 C Mike Ribeiro 1,900,000 RW Mike Johnson 1,900,000 G David Aebischer 1,900,000 D Francis Bouillion 1,877,000 D Andrei Markov 1,750,000 D Mathieu Dandenault 1,725,000 C Steve Begin 1,000,000 D Mike Komiarek 946,900 LW Christopher Higgins 673,000 LW Alexander Perezhogin 627, 000 C Mark Streit 600,000 C Garth Murray 575,000 RW Aaron Downey 475,000 C Tomas Plekanec 450,000 Totals 39,249,900 Edited July 17, 2006 by Mr. Nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Love Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 That puts us in a bit of a restraint, for going into the season/trade deadline. Not much wiggle room, especially if the reports are true that BG is working on a big trade, I am assuming any trade we make will be for a salary increase.

Mr. Nasty Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 even if a trade cost them a few million more they would still be under the salary cap by a few million. There is still a lot of room. Gainey said yesterday that they have money to spend...they just want to spend it wisely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah, being at 38-39 million gives them room to add at least 2-3M to the club's payroll and still have room for the deadline pickups.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yepp, AND a trade would be sending salary the other way, unless of course it's prospects or picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoRvInA Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 and isnt the remainder of the salary at the deadline whats accounted for? so even if we pick up a 7 Mil player at the deadline aprox 2 Mil or less would be added to our cap... Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 CoRvInA, afaik, that is correct. A team is only liable for the $ he makes while he plays for that team. So in your example, the team who had him all year gets dinged for the majority of the salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoRvInA Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Below is a link to a breakdown of the Habs salary commitments at hockeyanalysis. As it stands now, the Habs have 18 guys signed and a payroll of 33 million. Players not yet signed are Ryder, Perezhogin and Aebischer/Danis. Given a rough estimate of signing Ryder (2-2.5), Perezhogin (800k) and Danis (500k) the Habs will have a current salary commitment of roughly 37 million. Make it 38 million if they decide to stay with Aebischer which I highly doubt. http://hockeyanalysis.com/?page_id=329 there are a few discrepancies with this payroll description and others like the one on TSN.ca which makes for a 1.5 Mil difference... mind you TSN added JP Cote's pay onto it... Begin getting a Million thats true right? But Huet is getting 3 Mil this season and not 2.87 for instance... unless for cap issues you use the average?

Mr. Nasty Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 For cap purposes, the salary on the cap is averaged out for the length of the contract. If a guy gets paid 5 million in year 1 and 3 million in year 2, the salary (for cap purposes only) is 4 million each season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
