<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Contribution is secondary to contract with a flat cap. Tyler Johnson just won back to back cups and has been a productive top 9 player yet he clears waivers every year because the salary and term of his contract are too bloated for anyone to take on relative to his production. Johnson is considerably better than Byron but will likely have to pay a 1st+ to get someone to take him on.

The fact that Byron may be better than Paquette and Coburn is irrelevant because he would struggle to crack Ottawa’s lineup. He’s also signed to the same money that those two made TOGETHER and he’s signed for TWO more years when those two only had one year left. You can’t call someone who averaged 12mins/game a 3rd line forward. That’s an astronomical reach. He didn’t even play on the habs 3rd line.

When he hasn’t been scratched, each of the last two years his production hasn’t even averaged out to 30 points over a full 82 games. It’s not nitpicking. No one wants him on that contract as evidenced by him clearing waivers. You’re going to have to pay more than a 3rd and if you don’t want to then you’re just going to end up stuck with him 🤷🏽‍♂️

Feel free to bookmark this and throw it in my face if by some miracle the habs can move him. But I promise you Ottawa won’t be taking him for a 3rd and no one else will either.</div></div>

I laugh at your 'promise' like you are at all in the know about front-office happenings or thought process. But this is the fun of being arm-chair GM's like all of us on here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Ottawa took on one year at 3.4m last year from Tampa in Paquette and Coburn. Tampa gave them a 2nd.

No one wants Paul Byron. That's why he cleared waivers. No one cares that he's local either. He's a 4th line player at best and sitting in the press box at worst. If you want someone to take on the ridiculous contract for a borderline 4th/5th line player then it STARTS with a 2nd. He has two years left at 3.4m so you'll have to add something else for that second year as well. If not them you can keep him bloated contract.</div></div>

agree to disagree. But you just enjoy the hiring of Pierre Mcguire and the continual disaster that is/will be the Ottawa Senators :grimace

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JP_knows_it_all</b></div><div>I was pointing out the fact that in his projection, there wasn't any "provision", cap wise, for the salary increase of those 3 players.

I'm ok with what you're saying. I'm not foreshadowing a huge contract for Romanov, even with a great season next year. I'd say a 2x2.25-2.5 would be realistic, if he continue to develop.

For Jones, since he's willing to test the market, I doubt he'll settle for less than his true worth, which is between 8.25 &amp; 9.25 AAV on a 7 years deal.

#14, now : I've seen enough of the kid and what he's capable of that I would throw max term right now! I mean, summer 2021, not after his ELC ends in 2022. Sign him NOW for max term and get yourself a HUGE bargain deal for the years 4 through 8 (maybe even starting year 3). GM'S have to take risks and that Suzuki kid is totally worth it.</div></div>

Appreciate the convo and the feedback and agree about some creativity needed moving into future years. This is also keeping Drouin on the roster, when who even knows if he will be in the NHL next year, or on the Habs roster.

Heading into 22-23, the Habs have $12,078,691 in projected cap space. Assuming Jones signs for 7 x $9 million, Suzuki signs for 3 x $4.5 and Romanov signed for 2 x $2.5. As noted by others, I could see Weber retiring after next season when his salary goes down to $3 million and he will be 37. And its possible the cap increases for 22-23. None of these contracts would put Montreal in cap-hell. They would have to make some moves, but to get Seth Jones on your top-pair, a puck-moving dman who they need, it would be worth it IMO.
