Glory_Days Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 This is info I found of hfboard.com.. From Allan Walsh's twitter page Agent for Havlat Sitting in Restaurant in Prague and President Klaus of the Czech Republic just walked in w his entourage...sending over a bottle of wine! 19 minutes ago from mobile web Sitting in Prague, having late lunch with Marty Havlat about 4 hours ago from mobile web http://twitter.com/walsha A 4 hour lunch. Sounds like Havlat is moving this summer The issue the Chicago Blackhawks have in re-signing Martin Havlat is that the full horror of the salary cap world will be upon them in 12 months. Probably the ’Hawks have room to pay Havlat full value for next season, but it would be salary cap-hurtful to give Havlat a full value deal that extends into the 2010-11 season. In the summer of 2010, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith will be restricted free agents looking for a big raise. Andrew Ladd’s contract also expires that season. Chicago already has $25.4 million committed for just six players (Patrick Sharp, Dustin Byfuglien, Cristobal Huet, Brian Campbell, Brent Seabrook, Brent Sopel) for that season and, given the economy, it’s fair to project that the cap probably won’t be beyond $58 million in 2010-11. There’s a chance it could go down. Just signing Toews, Kane and Keith could easily add $16 million to that total. If the Blackhawks give Havlat an average of $6 million, they could be looking at $47 million committed to just 10 players That would mean the last 12 players would have to average less than $1 million. The math doesn’t work, particularly considering that Kris Versteeg, Dave Bolland and Cam Barker among others will receive deals this summer that could add another $7 million to the total. The Blackhawks have to persuade Havlat to accept a one-year deal to give them a chance to see where they are at in 2010, or offer him a Henrik Zetterberg-style deal that gives him many years, with smaller yearly salaries over the last few years, to lower his cap number. Or, they have to commit to the reality that some other key player is going to have be dealt next summer if Havlat is signed long-term. Re-signing Havlat is highly complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromedome_mtl Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Martin Havlat met with his agent!!!.........Holy Mackinaw!!! I wonder how many other NHL players have met with their agents?Is there a trend brewing?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory_Days Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Did you read the article?? I know every player meets with his agent, but in this case we learn that Havlat will probably become a FA unless Chicago wants to pay full price for a year. And if he becomes a FA, I think Montreal has a good shot at landing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vive-latendresse Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Havlat clearly told a journalist he doesn't want to play for Martin.. I think it was RDS or CKAC that reported that. He doesn't like how Martin is coaching and he is not confortable with this coach, so we can forget him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourne Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 No offense however I love how everyone here is condemning a near point per game player. I mean how many of those do we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalhab Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 No offense however I love how everyone here is condemning a near point per game player. I mean how many of those do we have? Yeah really. People are getting annoying at how picky they are of players. Does every hab fan expect a team of Lemieux's???? I don't see a shot at landing Havlat but I'd sure take a shot if he was interested in playing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a shot at landing Havlat but I'd sure take a shot if he was interested in playing here. The only point I was getting at ,is that I would want us to stay away from injury prone players,IMO. If that's being pickey,so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habcup Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's all about the right price!! This guy is loaded with talent but is hurt a lot. I would not want to play anywhere near fair market value for this guy or gaborik. Building a team around injury prone players cannot be a good thing. Beside I think this Habs team lacks character and leadership and these 2 players bring none of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
