I would do that. I feel like we have the defensemen. so lets roll

Source: Canadiens' Weber could miss next year

here is some possible salary cap problems looming for the Preds. We have to get Duchene or Johansan off the books. If we do have to carry the salary cap hit. We would be carrying 6.9 million in two players who don't play here for the next 5 years.

That's kind of wild that the Preds would still take a hit because we originally gave him the contract. Montreal took him and his contract when he was traded...why are the Preds still responsible for any cap hit?

It was put in as way to stop massively frontloaded contracts as a way to gimmick cap hits. Of course the out clause now is to just bury him on LTIR annually until the contract ends.

Yeah I get why it's there...I just think it's weird that Nashville takes some of that cap hit too even though they held on to no money when they traded Weber to Montreal.

Ellis traded. Wow

 

[KB5252]

Ellis traded. Wow

It was needed, bold move but he's taken a lot of abuse over the years.

Ellis traded. Wow

For Cody Glass and Philippe Myers.

For Cody Glass and Philippe Myers.

Not a terrible return.

 

[Burhead]

Not a terrible return.

Also clearing cap space to. I saw that Glass is exempt from the expansion draft.

Biggest thing is the cap space. Glass being exempt helps too.

Now just gotta dump Duchene or Johansson.

 

[YankeeVol]

This has got to pretty much be the move

Will be interesting to see glass and Tomassino on the same line in the future. I feel like them two are the foundation for the future.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd be ok with Fabbro going to Seattle with them taking Duchene

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Met Ellis one time and he was very nice. Very good dude and stand up role model. Will be missed.

I keep hearing Nashville is negotiating with Seattle, this package seems good enough for both sides to walk away happy with what they get.

Our forward list is pathetic, I knew we were bad but yikes…..

I don't know that Glass can ever be a bona fide 2nd liner. He is just missing something. Of course good things can happen with more opportunity

I agree, I’m hoping he just didn’t get enough opportunities in Vegas. But Nashville is also where forwards come to die so we will see

May be harsh, but he seemed like a different player after he signed his big extension to me. Not bad by any stretch, but seemed like he throttled down a little bit.
