Emojis are really small.

Unless you reply to a comment that contains an emoji, then they get YUGE.

I am not sure if there will be a trade before the start of the season, using the cap space created by Price’s departure.

I think they want to see what they got at camp first, unless something great pops up before that… given the options suggested out there are not that ideal TBH.

Thanks, the above is what I was wondering about.
Waiting to use the Price cap space makes more sense.

Why is price still a Hab?

re: the Price contract / cap space situation—
The Price contract going out before season open is the more urgent part, right?
That way The Habs start banking cap space immediately.
Part 2: “acquire player(s) to improve the team” might become easier as the season moves on.
Or is there something more to these moves?

Goodnight Canada, South Jersey and Gramps.

That’s gotta be the Habs biggest mistake over the last 4 years.

In 2021, Montreal lost the Stanley Cup final in 5 games.
4 years later, after a rebuild on the fly, they made it back to the playoffs.
They did that by making many very smart moves and very few mistakes.

So, if you are proposing a trade with them, you have to ask: Would a really smart, well run team like Montreal agree to this trade?”
I don’t think Montreal will just take back “stuff” to get rid of the Price contract.
Pay with draft picks? Sure, they have all their own picks (plus a few extra) over the next 3 years.
Trade the Price contract *and* picks plus a young player for a veteran who can help them right now? Also sounds like something they would do.
But, trade the Price contract for some other team’s leftovers, problems, or bad contracts? I don’t think that is likely to happen.

(something I posted earlier this summer, before people started showing up)

A look at the trade for the rotting corpse of Shea Weber(‘s contract):
————————————
March 7th, 2025 (w/Utah)
Hawks gave:
2026 5th round pick

Hawks received:
Weber contract
Victor Soderstrom
Aku Raty (went to play in Finland)
————————————-
June 13th, 2025 (w/Boston)
Hawks gave:
Victor Soderstrom

Hawks received:
Ryan Mast
2025 7th round pick
————————————
June 28th, 2025 (w/Florida)
Hawks gave:
2025 7th round pick

Hawks received:
2026 7th round pick
————————————
Overall the Hawks gave up:
1.25 million dollars (Weber contract is only $1mm/year real money in the ’24/25 and ’25/26 seasons. Approx. 0.25mm in ’24/25 and $1mm in ’25/26)
2026 5th round pick

Overall the Hawks received:
7.86 million dollar cap hit
Ryan Mast (AHL D-man)
2026 7th round pick

Seems alright. I wouldn’t get too happy or sad about this. Cheap emergency cap floor compliance.
