Dixon Ward Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This is just another example of somebody making something up that kind of makes sense. "Experts" take the same path we do to say, if Price is taken, what would Bergevin do with the cap space? Then draw some conclusions and state it like it's inside info. It could happen but this dufus is full of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Shrug… if it is $10 million and Petterson decides to sign it, then we can just choose to not match and just take the picks and use the cap on another player. With 2nd contracts being at full market rate, there is literally no benefit to overpaying for an RFA just because he is yours. We could get Landeskog with the money and Bump Horvat to the top line. Landeskog-Horvat-Boeser Pearson-Miller-Hoglander Motte-Dickinson-Podkolzin or even deal with Tampa and help their cap situation by taking Palat or Killorn and get another first round pick out of it. That would leave us cap space for a top 4D … then enjoy years of cheap ELC contracts with the extra picks as compensation. Montreal without Price and Weber could be terrible and return us lottery picks. Edited July 20, 2021 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket1994 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Of course you can never say never, but if they did do it, i just can't see him signing it. He doesn't seem like that type. Plus, i think it's just another b.s. rumour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 If Montreal lose both Price and Weber, maybe getting the picks wouldn't be so bad? They've had two good playoff runs in a row, but they're a pretty mediocre regular season team as is. With the divisions going back to normal, the Habs hurting defensively and in net, and already not being the best regular season team anyways, it might not be the end of the world. Those picks could be pretty good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Blight Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I want the old compensation rules............ The St. Louis Blues were big game hunters in the early ‘90s when it came to free agents. The season before, they’d signed Capitals restricted free agent defenseman Scott Stevens to an offer sheet for four years at a total of $5.1 million; as compensation, the Capitals were awarded five first-round draft picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 My French sources have dried up. Don’t know how Sean Warren has managed to maintain the moisture of his French sources. Perhaps he’ll tweet that next. I wait with baited breath. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Pettersson accept that Montréal offer sheet if the rumour is true? Are they that close? Canadiens could very well lose Price, and Weber next season. Losing a top goaltender and one of your top defensemen? Most teams don’t make the postseason with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what Bergevin does to the Canucks, I can see them offer sheeting Suzuki next season when they’ve got plenty of cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
