Confirmed with Link: [MTL/DET] Habs acquire Steve Ott from Detroit for 6th in 2018

[loudi94]

Clearly there's something big coming tomorrow.

 

[groovejuice]

I hope Bergevin is working from bottom to top, rather than from bottom to second from the bottom.

 

[CrazyShea]

58% on faceoffs this year is probably why. I agree he's done but gave nothing for him

 

[mariolemieux66]

Okay...here I was thinking MB had it all planned to get Duchene.

Like many have said, Bergevin is just throwing **** at the wall hoping it sticks. The guy as absolutely no idea what he's doing, no plans.

 

[Genesis76]

But can he fight?




No

 

[No More Subban]

Jesus ******* christ

 

[GoHabsGo76]

If we're in for a day full of BS trades like this, I ****ing quit.

If this is just one of a few, then ok. It's just a 6th. I'd rather play a kid, but if we use Ott wisely I don't mind.

Galchenyuk <10% on faceoffs tonight or whatever it was probably helped MB make up his mind too...

 

[The Great Weal]

Ott is a worse version of Shaw. He sucks, I'd rather play Ghetto.

 

[Drew4u]

Bergervin seems to like slow and declining players.

 

[TRG]

I don't like Steve Ott.

 

[TheAntiPrice]

Negates the good DD trade he made few hours earlier. This is plain stupiid.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Ok but we better not be done, we need offense

 

[The Nightman]

wow, really? Ott is an ass

 

[Skip Bayless]

Probably McCarron on the move.

Danault was no better. Horrible team game on the dot.

 

[SB164]

People are gonna freak out about this as usual, but it really doesn't mean that much in the grand scheme of things. I'm guessing MB just wanted a gritty veteran with playoff experience on a very cheap contract for depth.

It's just Steve Ott for $800,000, relax.

 

[FireBurningBin]

character

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Jesus guys relax, it's a nothing trade, just depth!! Let's see what happens tomorrow before going all crazy

 

[No More Subban]

I need to calm down.. hooooooooo saaaaaaahhhh...

I hope an Ott-Shaw duo would annoy teams

 

[Clumsyhab]

Not let's try to get Carcillo out of retirement.

The guy is throwing picks left and rights for 4th liners and #6 dmen from bottom feeders.

 

[c3z4r]

Checking out his stats, I think he's a good option for defensive faceoffs and pk time.

He's been winning faceoffs at 58%, which is much better than anybody we have on the roster, and playing almost 2 minutes on the PK.

Can't hurt to have some depth I guess.

 

[waffledave]

Ott?
He sucks. What a pointless move. Yet again.

Maybe its for the AHL to replace McCarron who will stay up all year?

Lol

 

[habsterr]

Ott is exactly what the habs 4th line needed over a guy like Flynn/ghetto. Now we need get a top 6 scorer
