Ever since the end of the 2017-18 season, Montreal Canadiens fans have been discovering ways to move Karl Alzner. A trade is a go-to scenario, but his contract isn’t an ideal one, especially after this past season where he spent the majority of the year in an NHL press box or in the AHL with the Laval Rocket. Assuming the Habs don’t find a way to input some shenanigans and get Alzner’s contract terminated, a compliance buyout seems to be the way.
Not the first or the last to discuss this issue. If you go on Capfriendly and use their buyout calendar, Alzner’s name is already there as one of the most used calculations.
