also FYI andreas johnsson last time he was in the NHL not (hes not now for cap purposes and bc the devils have a significant amount of talented players, averaged 0.5 ppg, or more than any canadian not named Suzuki Caufield or Dach

And is 750k actual salary…for one-fifth of season = 150k

Would be 5th or 6th rounder.

Oh ok, got it.
As far as I'm aware there's no real doubt as to whether Gritsyuk is coming over or not, from what I gather that's more of an inevitability.
The question is more whether Gritsyuk comes to NA for the 23/24 season or the one after.
As for the player, I'm VERY high on Gritsyuk.
Last season he had some of the strongest 5v5 impacts in the KHL, as tracked by Lassi Alanen, and while his scoring rates are down this season he is by all accounts still playing very well.

I get all that, but it doesn't change the fact that Boeser is constantly getting outshot, outchanced and outscored (also worse in those regards relative to the Canucks average) whenever he steps onto the ice at 5v5.
Despite his rather decent rate of production (60pt pace as you say), the Canucks are worse off with Boeser on the ice.
The Canucks are paying a very big price for the points he puts up.

Love him

Kent Hughes expect teams to pay them
And teams does :
Romanov
Lehkonen
Chiarot
Kulak

Playing for the Devils, playing with MTL, he would have less than 5 goals
Philip Danault would never have score more than 15 goals playing in MTL

playing for last years devils*

I don’t even know what we are arguing about here, MTL won’t take Johnsson for fun, we would need a good pick to take him. It’s been reported a team offered a 1st round pick for Josh Anderson and Kent Hughes declined. So there’s that, Anderson has value, apparently, but Johnsson doesn’t. MTL ain’t taking cap for fun, that’s all I’m saying

Meanwhile you think other teams will take your larger cap dumps and give you assets

Where did you see me trade a MTL cap dump and getting assets back ? I’ll wait

“NJD offers 1st pick plus for Anderson”
“MTL offers top prospect for Johnsson”

Both rumors are a little suspect. But we shall see. But it would be nice if it were Slafkovsky.

You’re weird

I've looked at montreal's current situation and it seems like they in fact actually really do enjoy awful contracts, considering they make up most of montreals roster. Theres maybe 3 value contracts montreal has rn

Suzuki Dach Edmundson Savard Montembault Evans contracts are fair
MTL didn't give that Matheson & Dadonov contract
MTL did with : Gallagher Anderson Drouin Hoffman Armia Byron
Allen isnt playing his best right now, but when he signed his extension, he was worth it
We'll see how he plays next year before calling it a bad contract

Montembault is a value contract, Dach is a value contract.
Suzuki is about market value, Evans isn't good enough to be a value contract, I don't think edmundson is good, savard is about market value.

so like I said, 2 value contracts
