One thing article does nor address is what happens if these young players reach their performance bonus targets. Eat into next year’s cap. The big pain of fully using LTIR and having no cap space for a full year. Lots of kids on ELCs so lots of SBs that may be met this year. Slafkovsky’s alone are $3.5M in each of his three years. Let that puppy sink in a moment. |

Not sure but at he end of this year there will be 20 mill coming off the books Monahan 6.375 Drouin 5.5 Dadanov 5 Byron 3.4 Maybe they keep Monahan because him, Dach and Slaf have chemistry & make a strong 2nd line... Hoffman needs to be on the 3rd or 4th line... plays die on his stick everytime... hard to watch... They should tell him they want him to be the next Paul Byron |

Hoffman has another year after this one at 4.5... if you were a gm, would you take him... I wouldn't |

One might say this is perfect timing. Finding an injury for Dadonov makes more sense than trying to integrate him into Laval's roster. The truth is the Rocket has enough problems at the moment.
I imagine Edmundson is getting close.

Sounds like Dadonov comes off the IR today and Pitlick will be put on waivers to make roster room. I, like many others, would likely have picked a different fall guy.

He's always been a fringe player at best. Drouin Hoffman and Dandy all give HuGo a hope, altho looking more and more unrealistic, that we might get something in return at the deadline. The main big pick up will just be unloading them: 3 Stooges are $15 million in cap space - almost 20% of our cap  |

Would be nice to unload him though at the trade deadline. |

On CapFriendly, it says Dadonov went on IR on November 3. How can he already be activated tomorrow?
Habsorbed, you know man, I really do not think Drouin and Dadonov have any value around the league even at the deadline with 50 percent retention. Contenders with almost no cap dollars will have hard choices to make -- d-man vs. forward, this type of winger vs. that type of winger, centre vs. other commodities -- and unfortunately I just see low energy underachieving wingers being near the bottom of everyone's shopping list.
Hoffman is an issue that will have to wait for summer to be resolved. There is basically no market for Hoffman and Hughes said he will not retain money on non-expiring contracts. Maybe during the off-season management can move him in a hockey trade (bad contract for bad contract) or else just buy him out.

And seems well-liked. Drouin, Dadonov and Hoffman would clear waivers easily, and if not, it's a clear win for us. I could imagine Pitlick fetching us a 5th rounder at the deadline from a team with injury/depth issues, the other 3 aren't going to fetch us anything. No one wants to add soft players at the deadline, you want gritty guys to get you through the playoffs at that point. |

When Slaf got pushed into the boards by Rossi, Evans went after him and Pitlick played tiddlywinks... every hab on the ice grabbed someone except him... in what universe does he have grit... |

Both Armia and Drouin out tonight. Maybe a bit longer for Drouin though.
The dude has no luck and definitely seems to injure far too frequently.

I suspect that Drouin is playing out his contract and wont sign a new one.
This "injury" may be in line with his "lets get over this season and retire" attitude.
Definetly don't trust him.

Drouin was never going to get us anything at the deadline so more ice time for the kids now. And the saving face narrative for Drouin will be he never became the star player as a result of unfortunate injuries.

Pitlick back up due to the Drouin injury.
Matheson back in a regular jersey, so Hughes will have a decision on a young defender to make soon.

I'm hoping the solution is a trade of Edmundson. It creates space, gets some value in return and allows WiFi and Kovecevic to stay in the lineup.

The latest injury update. Sounds like me of Drouin or Hoffman the likeliest to be back next. If not, I wonder if they call up Anthony Richard from the Rocket. He has earned a call up.

Drouin has been diagnosed with the rare Ingrownailaritis.
I seriously doubt he wants to play and this is him going through the motions so as not to be in breach of contract.
I'm willing to bet my newly renovated outhouse that this is his last year of playing pro hockey. I cetainly don't see ANY GM, no matter how stupid, giving him anything more then a million. But then, some GMs are notoriously forgetfull and prone to stupid.
WORSE TRADE EVER
