UKNuck96 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I wonder if he pushed for this, fearing if he waited till next season they might let him walk or the cap squeeze would be worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't affect their bottom line at all for the upcoming season. Might come back to bite them in the behind in a couple of years if the rest of the slightly-above-average d-men start getting 4 mil/year in the new NHL, especially given the fact that this contract covers years 33 to 37. You’re overthinking this. The deal doesn’t kick in until 21-22. So it doesn’t send any kind of msg about the liquidity of the Habs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in Romanov on an ELC. There’s also Fleury on a ELC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still 13+ mil tied up in pretty old guys but they're also very good players so I can see the thinking here. It should tone down the Tanev at 5-6 mil thing thats been blowing around in the media. I love Tanev but he's not close to this kind of deal whatsoever. It’s only $750k more than it is currently. Also, Weber’s actual salary drops to $1m in the 22/23 season. I could see him retiring at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be more than the AAV of the contract in any given season now. The penalty itself isn’t reduced. It’s just potentially stretched over a longer period.

Provost Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I think they are likely going to find that this is an overpayment once the UFA market opens up and guys are available for much less. Petry is a really good, but not top end D man, and he will already be turning 34 just when this contract kicks in... The exact type of player that is prime to get squeezed in a tight market rather than cash in. Edited September 25, 2020 by Provost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
