Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

In retrospect, if Bergevin hadn’t jump the gun and traded for Joel Edmunston and then re-sign him for 3.5M - the Habs would now be in an excellent position to use that precious cap to try and steal a RFA like Vince Dunn from the cap-stricken Blues via an offer sheet - provided of course Dunn would be open to take a bridge contract around 3.5M - basically the same amount the Blues fans expect to pay for him once/if they solve their cap issues I suppose. Dunn would obviously be paired with Shea Weber if he accepts such a bridge deal, which should be quite an incentive to come over and boost his value upon renewal talks...

Problem I see is that the compensation from such an offer falls short of Dunn’s value; a mere 2nd round pick, so the Blues would likely match and try to shed salary elsewhere, at dire costs though. Food for thought!
