There's cities in Alaska? I thought it was just a colony of guys who got caught (frank)ing sexdolls in the 80s

off course, Juneau as an example

every time somebody brings up his cap, they dont bring up the fact mtl could retain 50% of that, if they wanted. He has another year after this season, not 20.

He would be around 1,8M or 1,9.

the decision is more about Primeau than anything else. Do they want to keep him or not?

100 % agree

I don't think they are trading him this year, maybe next year when he will on the last year of his contract.

Candidates for a trade with salary retention

David Savard (1 more year at 3.5M cap hit, salary for next year after July 1st (500K signing bonus and his pay will be 2.3M), easier to move him starting next summer
Jake Allen (1 more year 3.85M cap hit, 1M signing bonus on July 1st 2024, actual salary will be 2.3M next season)
B.Gallagher (3 more years at 6.5M cap hit left after this year, his actual salary is much worse)
J.Armia (one year left after this season, 3.5M cap hit, actual salary is 4.8M this season and 3.8M next year)
Monahan, UFA next summer, salary is 1.985M, should not need to retain salary

I would try to move Gallagher and retain a % of his contract. Buyout would double the cap hit period, makes no sense. Trade him with salary retention, in 3yrs he is off the books.

Meh only one I see traded is Allen, we said many times and its true in all sports, you need good vets to : I'm keeping Savard and Mohanan, teach the kids not too such for like 7 years like Ddmonton did

Your line up can't be all 21-24 years old

Armia and Gally nobody is toutching that with a 10 foot pole, hence why its only Allen

They will use it at the trade deadline on an expiring contract that they help move along to another team.

Monahan?

Monahan?

No, as in a 3 way trade, taking a player, retaining the cap, and moving him to the 3rd team as part of the same trade.
