yup, not sure if it's a great strategy either to be talking specifically about MTL, it isn't helping WPG in their negotiations or giving them any leverage...

nope, not cool for them
take the best you can get and move forward

nope, not cool for them

and not cool for Dubois either I guess, if he really wants to leave the peg ASAP

aren't there fires in both alberta and nova scotia or is it newfoundland?
- Gramps28

Yes blame Trudeau

- Pat1993

so what will it take to get him this summer?
I was kidding with Dvorak and Armia the other day, but I wonder if WPG would not be interested. we'd have to add of course, but these 2 still have years on their contracts, WPG have problem retaining players... maybe it could work

gonna have to side with AGalchenyuk27 on this one, fellas.

I guess that all depends on how dumb you think Cheveldayoff really is...

Cheveldayoff doesn't need to be dumb, or brillant. teams won't line up to acquire PLD when they know he wants to be a Habs. and Habs don't have to do anything, they can wait 12 months.
so yes, make an offer, but you won't see prime prospects go the other way. imho

I dunno, taking back both Armia and Dvorak is pretty (frank)ing dumb, come on lol.

even then, not sure why they'd entertain the idea, but hey, if it happens, I won't complain.

I get it's not a great return, but that might be the best return they will get. that's all that matters.
and the idea is that Dvorak has 2 more years, Armia too. for a team which has problems signing UFAs... that might be interesting.

I mean at that point you might as well just let him walk scott-free instead loll

yes, taking on bad contracts solves the problem of signing UFAs

you really have a poor opinion of Dvorak and Armia

of their contracts, especially. you can't tell me those are good-looking deals, what are you smoking bruh.

Dvorak is not that bad. big center, 4.5M. pretty decent imo. you just need to accept that he's not a top6 player.
Armia, that's another story lol

what if we retain 50% on each one?

salary retention while the cap is barely going up (no code) doesn't sound like a great strategy imho.

getting rid of these 2.... there's no bad strategy. I am not enduring Yoel another 2 years. no way Jose.

meh. do both those player help you win games? no.

do they cost you games? no, not really.

having dead cap space isn't worth it, as much as you hate Yowelle.
