Master Mind Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 2 hours ago, qwijibo said: Let’s not forget that Montreal’s season just ended. It takes time to get clarity on injuries like this. Price and the team doctors may have assumed that any pain he was feeling was due to the stress of the playoffs and would heal on its own. After a week off maybe they started to have concerns. Now he’s seeing a specialist this week. That's a fair point too. Even if Price had concerns immediately, and the timing was all calculated, I don't have a problem with that. Price is easily the most interesting player exposed, and makes the build up to expansion more entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the exception is that players got a couple of days to mull over if they would waive their NMCs if asked by the club, looks like the habs didn’t ask so there wasn’t really a situation laid out in the rules and timings for a player instigating it. ive got no issue with this tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deadline was to prevent a team from pressuring a player to waive their NMC. Not the case at all here. That's why the NHLPA saw no issue with it.

If there was no rule about this then fine Montreal is in the clear; however there was no rule about Luongo's contract and it still ended badly for the team.

That might just end up badly for Montreal if he gets picked. Teams were warned well in advance that those penalties were coming - they still decided to risk it. It was brought up at the GMs and board of governors meetings well before the penalty was implemented. Teams were also offered an out with the compliance buyout. Gillis admitted that they were expecting that he would end up on LTIR - he felt there was no chance he could play out that contract. He lost control by trading him. Instead of thinking he would end up on LTIR, he should have done the calcs and noticed that it would be more advantageous for Florida to have him retire. Or he should have simply used a compliance buyout. Edited July 19, 2021 by mll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Seattle opts to take Carey Price Habs would not only kept Jake Allen - the younger and cheaper goalie - but also would got a ton of cap relief 2. If Seattle opts not to take Price Habs would have kept both goalies. Bergevin's strategy was that Seattle would stay away from Price because of the injuries and the cap hit. If Bergevin had exposed Jake Allen who the Kraken showed lot of interest in ahead of the submission of the protection list, it would have been a no brainer for Seattle (to take Jake Allen).

If that’s the case he would count as the Montreal pick and Price (and everyone else exposed) remains a Hab That would be a better deal for Danault than Montreal's deal offered (6 years at $5 M): The Athletic’s Arpon Basu reports that the Montreal Canadiens are likely to let center Phillip Danault test the market. While this may be a shock to some, there’s a sort of backstory to this. It was widely reported last summer that general manager Marc Bergevin had offered Danault a six-year deal with a $5MM cap hit. That’s still Montreal’s offer, according to Basu and others. Montreal and Danault are both keeping the door open in case he can’t receive better offers on the open market, leading one to believe that the relationship is still amicable between the two. However, it’s reasonable to think that Danault would receive a better offer from a variety of teams desperate to improve their center depth, making a return to Montreal anything but certain.

Montreal and Seattle are the only 2 teams that could have offered him 8 years. If the rumour of $5.8m x 8 are true you can see why Bergevin let him go.
