NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

I can' help think this is anything more than a salary dump for Nashville. Cody Glass is at least protected in the expansion draft. Anybody know anything about him? What are people's opinions on this trade. If I know Poile he is itching to overpay someone.

Cap relief is what this deal is all about for Nashville.

The New York Islanders are following the NHL's expansion draft rules after all, as the club re-signed defenseman Andy Greene to a one-year, $1-million contract, The Athletic's Arthur Staple reports.

New York needed to ink at least one defenseman who meets the requirement for exposure by 5 p.m. ET on Saturday. Staple added that the Islanders submitted their list by the deadline, and Greene meets the criteria.

Greene who'll be 39 on Oct. 30, has played for the Islanders since they acquired him from the New Jersey Devils in February 2020. He spent his first 13-plus seasons with the Devils.


Under the rules for the expansion draft, each NHL team must expose two forwards, one defenseman, and one goaltender who are under contract for 2021-22 and played at least 40 games this past season or 70 combined contests over the last two campaigns.
 
So the Habs leaving Price exposed and assuming Seattle will pass because they don’t want his salary? Probably good odds they’re right, if Seattle is looking to fill their Kraken with Holtby (meh). But man, that’s how Bad Things happen.
 
Carey Price has waived his no-movement clause, thereby making himself available to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft, reports Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

The Montreal Canadiens goaltender did so to allow the club to protect fellow netminder Jake Allen for Wednesday's proceedings. Price only waived the clause for expansion draft purposes, meaning he can't be involved in an unrelated transaction without his approval, according to Johnston.

Price is reportedly owed a signing bonus of $11 million in September. He's under contract at a cap hit of $10.5 million through 2025-26.


All players with no-movement clauses in their contracts must be protected in the expansion draft, and every team needs to protect one goaltender.

I think Montreal is playing a dangerous game here 🤔

it’s $$$ but boy, talk about a player to build your team on. Maybe Montreal has some inside track that Seattle already settled on a tendie, but boy wouldn’t that be a nasty surprise?

Seattle's goaltender is apparently Dreiger, however what is stopping Seattle from taking Price, part of his money and moving him to another team in need of a #1 goalie???

That's a really long time to hold probably a good amount of that contract. I think most teams in the league would stay away from him as #1 at this point in his career and with that much term left.

He has a NMC and although it's waived they aren't allowed to move him like that.
 
Crazy gamble. Despite the money, it's not a bad way to put a face on a new franchise. Don't like this at all. This could backfire badly.
 
Late in the evening, CP's wife posted an instagram saying "don't worry guys, things will make more sense soon".

I cannot believe that Bergevin would let Price go for nothing at this point because, despite the salary (and say what you want, but a single $10M player eliminating a team with 3 $10M players is a pretty good deal, LOL), Montreal doesn't have a goaltender that can replace him in the short term. You have to think there is a deal in place with Seattle.
