Guest Low Roller Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 The Habs have over the course of the past season traded away three prospects in order to improve themselves in one way or another. Let's see how they are all faring thus far and see if the Habs won or lost on those trades:------------------------------------On July 7th the Habs traded Ryan Russell to Columbus for Mike Blunden. Mike Blunden has played 30 games with the Habs this season after getting called up, and been a serviceable fourth liner with plenty of NHL experience.Russell has split his time between the NHL and AHL this year, but hasn't put up any significant numbers in either. The fact that he can't stay in the NHL for the league's worst team does not bode well however. He might still develop into a spare part at the NHL level.I would call this trade a draw, with a slight short-term nod towards the Habs for Blunden putting up more points at the NHL level.------------------------------------On July 15, the Habs traded Mathieu Carle, a former sure-thing defensive prospect to Anaheim for Mark Mitera.Carle was leapfrogged by Subban and Weber in the Habs depth chart the last couple of years, and by St. Denis this season, and was seen as expendable by the organization after he requested a trade. He has not yet made the leap to the NHL, but continues to put up solid numbers in his fifth year in the AHL.Mitera is the highest paid player on the Dogs roster with a one-way $1.4M contract, yet holds a team worst -25 +/- rating and only 8 points. These are not flattering stats.Habs lost on this trade, but only on a minor league level.-------------------------------------October 23, the Habs traded Brock Trotter, former Bulldogs top scorer who had just returned from a year in Europe and a 7th-round draft pick in 2012 to Phoenix for Petteri Nokelainen and Garrett Stafford.Nokelainen was necessary because the team did not have a fourth line center after White was lost for most of the season, Engqvist flopping, and the Blair Betts waiver pick-up being a total cock-up. He has played 45 games with the Habs, mostly going unnoticed.Garrett Stafford has played a solid defensive game for the Dogs, but is a career AHL-er at this point.Trotter has not played a game in the NHL so far this year, playing 32 games for the Phoenix AHL affiliate. He was traded to another AHL team in March, amidst declining stats.The Habs win this trade, based on a serviceable season from the fourth line center. ------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ok........so when are you going to post the three prospects that the Habs traded away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 nyuk.Everyone is talking about a buyout for Scott Gomez. I still think that it's crazy, given that his cap hit after a buyout would be the following:2012-13: $3,523,8102013-14: $4,523,8102014-15: $1,666,6672015-16: $1,666,667Still, something needs to happen here, and I think the answer to that is that a team that needs to reach the salary cap floor will trade for Gomez because his cap hit and his salary are sufficiently different for the last two years of his contract.2012-13: $5,500,000 salary, $7,357,143 cap hit2013-14: $4,500,000 salary, $7,357,143 cap hit The price to send Gomez away? A top prospect or draft pick.The return for Gomez+prospect? "Future considerations".And if the Habs do buy him out? Thankfully 2013-2014, where his cap hit is the biggest, will see many top prospects like Beaulieu, Tinordi, Gallagher, and Holland joining the team on their entry level (aka cheap) contracts.

rubberdinghy Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 So in other words...The Habs will suck for another 15 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Bob McKenzie is also of the opinion that it is not likely that the Habs will buyout Gomez because of the cap hit. He is leaning towards the Habs burying his contract in the minors if a cap floor team doesn't pick him up. It's also possible that the Habs try the waiver re-entry route where they would split the cap space (and salary?) 50/50 with a team that decides to pick him up. Much less punishing than a buyout. Again, possible incentive for a cap floor team, as Gomez' final year comes at a cheaper $4.5M versus the $7.3M cap hit.Maybe the bum can defect to the KHL? That would be an option as well, as I think that would mean that his contract is violated. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 FUN FACT: Should the Habs want to buy out the rest of Gomez' contract, he has to be medically cleared by June 15th. Currently he is on the IR with a concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Can't buy out a player if he is injured. The buy out window is June 15th to June 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
