you'd need to have 3 defencemen on the ice for that to work

so the opposite of Renaud "l'fendant" Lavoie

osti de face à claque, il est simplement unbeliblblbl.

if the Habs match, is there a rule preventing them to trade him or sign him long term before a certain date?
- Symba007

1 year for trade

even better, it's a solid draft I hear next summer
- Symba007

does it really matter if Timmins is still in charge? he did pick Ak46 in 2003 and kk 3 years ago........

even better, it's a solid draft I hear next summer
- Symba007

with Timmins at the helm

if the Habs match, is there a rule preventing them to trade him or sign him long term before a certain date?
- Symba007

can't trade him for a year, you can sign him longterm after january, qualifying offer has to be at least 6,1 million next summer

Cannot trade for 1 year, I think they cannot sign long-term until after January or something.

in any business, MB would be fired for the KK mess and the position the Habs are in right now.

and after the last draft and their decision with the 1st round pick....they should all be fired, don't even need to go back in time.

- Fredobbface

but it doesn't have to be the annual average if he's offered multiple years, right?

he also picked Sergachev and Caufield. Guhle seems to be tracking well. they've done a bit better with the first rounders of late.

- Pat1993

only if they qualify next summer, they can extend him after January if both parties agree on a new deal at a lower value

Eric Engels in a radio interview on the FAN 590 just reported ...Dvorak / no match Kk


He believes the habs are leaning toward taking the picks and letting KK walk. He feels the habs have identified a primary trade target in Christian Dvorak, they are trying to work out a trade. He says the Coyotes are trying to shed salary and are very interested in acquiring picks.

right, makes sense.

- Fredobbface

that's the long term problem. say you match, and KK takes a step fwd... like 15 goals, 25 assists. improves his faceoffs, defensive awareness... you're stuck with that ridiculous baseline salary. he's not going to sign for 7 or 8 years at that point.

but it doesn't have to be the annual average if he's offered multiple years, right?
- Pat1993

nope QA has to be at least 100% of the previous salary, but they can agree to terms on a longer contract

noice. if they can acquire Dvorak, and then the Coyotes move to Quebec, I'll be a happy camper.

- DoubleDown

question is does he hold more value next summer to trade him then the OS compensation from the Jerks.

but it doesn't have to be the annual average if he's offered multiple years, right?
- Pat1993

He can sign at any yearly value he wants to agree to with the Habs for any term (as of January).

But if he has not signed a contract and the Habs want to retain his rights (ie: so he does not become a UFA), they will need to offer him 1 year @ $6.7M to retain those rights.

- DoubleDown

I say best case scenario is around 6 for multiple years, doubt he would ever take a paycut, not with the habs.

nope QA has to be at least 100% of the previous salary, but they can agree to terms on a longer contract
- Fredobbface

player can agree to 85% of his previous salary if he realllly wants to stay but players never do take that route.

taking the picks is really a no brainer. even for MB.

KK.

- Scabeh

I said he's Lars Eller 2.0, only fitting he shoud leave and win the cup in Carolina

KK.

- Scabeh

you'll get over it. remember how terrible a season he had last year.

taking the picks is really a no brainer. even for MB.
- fidopro

it's a no-brainer only if you consider that he'll never become a very good 2nd line center.
