What about cap space??

He won't waive

as a Leafs fan, please do go get Edler. He was horrible in that Leafs 3 game series

We’ll have accrued over $4 million in deadline cap space at this point. Even if we never send down Byron or any of the other players we’ve been sending down regularly (KK, Suzuki, Romanov, & Evans) we’d still have over $3 million in deadline cap space.

Well the trade is obviously assuming that Edler is fine with spending a few months in Montréal for a chance at a cup. But yes, there certainly is a decent chance he doesn’t waive.

How we’ll have accrued 4 millions??
Your post show -2 291 309 $ cap space

Canucks decline, Poehling hasn't done anything since his first game

Has Elder done much this season? What I have seen he's hit the wall at age 34. Does he get offered a contract next season?

yeah, overrated prospect who isn't really much of anything. I'd have interest in Evans or Mete.... I think Edler with retention can mimic the Dillon trade from last year - 2nd + 3rd.

He's been pretty steady he generally plays much better if he isn't playing 20+ minutes a game. He'll definitely get contract offers but I don't know if Vancouver offers him one

Yup I was thinking something around a 2nd too

Teams accrue cap space throughout it the year because a team’s cap hit is an average of their daily cap hits. By having cap space earlier in the year, the habs accrue cap space that can be used later on in the year, which is why they would have more cap space at the deadline.

Good to know, 🙏
