I’m surprised we are ranked so low considering we have over 9 million dollars in cap space (with Price on LTIR) and a full roster.

Guess we’ll just have to keep signing players to team friendly deals.

I don’t like the generalized use of Price’s LTIR as some sort of “cap space”.
LTIR isn’t cap space, it’s cap relief. Healthy management shouldn’t use it as “space”, ie. don’t account for it when making your core payroll or to retain players. Act as if it didn’t existed during the summer and manage according to that.
Use it for what it is: cap relief during the regular season. Use it as a side ledger to move temporary assets for a season, like Monahan last year.
Based on that, we have -1.25M cap space (84.75M/83M). There’s a 10% cushion in the summer and we can use that, but we should be aiming at 83M, not 93.5M.

Most of the Habs’ shit contracts, or players who aren’t part of the future have two years left or less: – Armia, Hoffman, Savard, Edmundson, Dvorak
​
Of the longer contracts:
– Matheson and Anderson are useful players and have trade value if they need to be moved
​
The two biggest contracts are Price and Gallagher:
– Price is basically permanently on LTIR which isn’t he end of the world
– Gallagher is the only true problem contract, and at he rate he’s going, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up on LTIR as well. At leas he’s good a good attitude and is a good leader. You can still build a Cup winner with one overpaid veteran.
