More and more in post 2005 lockout than previously.
Mete is 5'10"... that is what he was measured at by NHL central scouting at the 2016 Draft combine. This isn't a number that is being inflated.

I'm going to trust the guy holding the measuring tape at the draft combine, over the guy doing it by eyeball test on tv.

Ugh. Always something with our top prospects.
With him going down it all but confirms that we will be going into the season with an unnatural amount of cap space. I assume he would have been one of our potential trade pieces.

Re: Habs News & Notes: 2017 Training Camp
The most likely player to be traded, no matter how much i think trading him would be a mistake, remains Alex Galchenyuk.
Trading him for a more expensive player remains something that I see Bergevin considering. Look at Duchene and Giroux as possible names in a deal, and I wouldn't want to do either deal one-for-one. A deal for a Tavares might be something to consider, but the Isles aren't trading him til they are both out of the playoffs and not re-signing him.

I'm pretty sure the cap space won't be used.

I'm pretty sure it will not be spent for the sake of spending it. If there is a hockey trade to be made that use that space, Bergevin will do it. But spending money for spending money is useless, unless it's for a player on his final year of his contract. Considering we have 8.5 available and 6 more free once pleks is out next year, that is a LOT of money to try to get a good center or top 2 dman if one is available.

4 of that goes to Price's raise.
Danault is making almost no money, he will get a raise.
Jerabek is a UFA. If he is any good, he gets a raise... if he isn't good we sign a D to replace him too.
Basically, all of Plekanec's money is already going to be spent on these three things.

Technically it's 45 players plus Scherbak.

From what I understand this is really the only year we have the extra money to use. Going forward, a lot of gets eaten up (and Plek's money too) next year with raises and new contracts. It's pretty much a one year luxury that they decided to not take advantage of.
