Is this a one-way?

Is this a one-way?

Does not change anything. If he is sent down his salary won't count toward the cap.

 

[ghost85875]

No risk signing, good.

 

[Koivu11]

No surprises so far.

All these signings have been rumoured.

 

[Captain97]

Solid 0 risk signing, he'll be our 8th dman/Lawal tweener.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Low risk, can't complain again, can't be worse than Gus

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

8th dman still not fixing any needs. but yeah for a rare time the media are 3/3 for today , which is rare in Montreal.

 

[Natey]

Solid 0 risk signing, he'll be our 8th dman/Lawal tweener.

I'm pretty sure you're kidding yourself here.

He was offered $2M+ to stay in the KHL. He was ripping it up over there. He's not coming here to play as a tweener.

 

[montreal]

Last year he was in the AHL, if he's Laval bound it would give a real nice boost to the offense though hopefully wouldn't take too much PP time away from Brook.

Based on his Contract he needs to prove he can play. If he plays well enough to not be a tweener then we have our number 6 guy at AHL tweener money and I'll be very happy in that case.

And if he earns his spot great , and if not nothing to lose from the club

 

[Wats]

At least the team has some RD depth now. Maybe Romanov can finally just play on his strong side and develop now.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Dude had a great season in the KHL. It'd be cool if he could produce when called upon in the NHL. No risk signing.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Cap Friendly already has him listed in the AHL. The offer was pretty much like this... Low AAV and show up to camp trying to ern a job. If you don't, you go to the AHL earning the same salary (not counted in our cap in that case) and you help mentor some young guys and help us create a winning culture

 

[26Mats]

another no-risk whatsoever signing.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good. The signings today have been perfect. $750k one way. He gets a shot and we can bury him with no cap consequences if needed.

Need RD depth.

All I'm saying is he's not been told he's brought here to be a #8 defenseman.

It's very likely he's been told he's slotted for the Top-6. No way he comes back to the NHL for 750K when he could make 3 times that overseas to be a #8.

I don't think you'll see any more big moves on the backend. So if someone wants his job, it'll have be one of the kids.

 

[Habs Halifax]

another no-risk whatsoever signing.

Wideman is thinking about trying to crack the roster in camp and Bergevin is thinking he is needed at RD in Laval.

If that's the Case we still have a ton of money to spend and I'm wondering what we'll do with it.

 

[Habs13]

7th D I guess.. not awful

 

[Schwang]

They'll need it. Better hope he does

 

[overlords]

cautiously optimistic about this one. he turned down a lot more money to come here and prove himself. Respect for that, at least.

I like that he is motivated....got a good feeling on this one...

 

[Miller Time]

Bargain bin special... good roll of the dice, but if that's it for pmd "upgrades"
