Probably the best case scenario for the Habs. But even if it works out for them in the end, let's not forget how they put themselves in this mess to begin with. It's been a weird off-season for them.
I'm looking forward to McIndoe writing his yearly Bizzaro Off-season rankings column. Habs and Canes should feature high enough!
Have fun negotiating an extension with Dundon, KK!
Kidding, I like Kk, good kid, wish him the best.
But not kidding, Dundon’s cheap ass antics are going to be the ruin of this team sooner than later. The Nedelkjovic move was asinine, not signing Hamilton then going for “bargain” DeAngelo…

what were some of the numbers being tossed around by reasonable hab fans for KK's bridge deal ?

Yeah I know, was just trying to make a point of how Dundon is a cheap-ass owner. That said others of that ilk (looking at you Jeremy Jacobs) have managed to ice successful teams. But I still think the Ned and Hamilton moves were mistakes and then there is the biggest mistake of all, how could this guy possibly lowball Brind'amour on his contract??!

In other threads, we give teams a hard time if they overpay to keep a player. Why is Dundon seen in a negative light when he is trying to avoid overpaying for players?
Dundon is firm on his stance with how to allocate cap space to players. We can definitely debate whether he allocated it to the right players but it wont be due to an albatross contract to a meh player
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
Well, to be fair, Jake Gardiner going to LTIR helps that statement along.

Bump of the day.
Big exciting/controversial signing at the time.
Kotkaniemi leads the Canes in scoring with 12pts in 12gp.
(Impatience ran him out of MON... feels like Slaf is going through the Kotka expectations/treatment right now from media/fans.)
That Canes 1st round pick *was* very late, 27th overall - some got this right - some got this wrong.
The Habs were able to use it to get Christian Dvorak - some got this right - some (me, embarrassed) got this wrong.
Great discussion thread - fun to look back on.
