Desharnais is better than this ****.

Yeah desharnais can settle scores with McQuaid Neil burrows Martin for us to.

Ott can't do that either. He's the punching bag you find at a Goodwill with duct tape all over it.

Martin destroyed Ott once this year. http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/135713

The best thing Ott is good for is taking dirty shots and injuring an opposing player. Then there's penalty kill and faceoffs as gravy.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Can't wait to see who takes more dumb penalties between him and Shaw. Should be fun

Spoken so well that I lol'd in real life at this comment.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Steve Ott is the answer!!! WOOT!!!!

 

[Dagoon44]

Ott is a great move for the come playoff time..

 

[Classicnamesup]

Fair move for both. Cheap and will bring a little bit of grit and maybe draw a penalty or two in the playoffs.

Hardly call it destroyed. Any body who ever played hockey before would realize it's tougher to play against ott than desharnais. If I got this right the combined deals are desharnais and a 2018 6th for ott and davidson. We would have given a sixth to get rid of desharnais but now we got a serviceable defenceman and some more toughness and size. Run along and play now. Nothing to be seen here.

 

[Sheppy]

Of course the Habs would go out and get a nerd like this.

McQuaid would put Ott in the morgue.

 

[Church Hill]

Maybe he once was. Now, he will absolutely hurt the team more than help them in the playoffs. It's a fact that he's going to take a stupid penalty or two. Even worse, he has NO goals and only 4 assists in his last 38 playoff games. This is an awful move.

How many 4th liners do we need?

Bergevin salivating at the thought of a cheap plug and just not able to contain himself...

Seriously, the Habs could probably skate a team full of grinders. Is that his definition of being hard to play against?

Better ott than macarron at this stage of the kids career.

Well we moved one fourth liner for another one. Separate deals but desharnais out and ott in. Let's see
-1+1=0

 

[Reality Check]

Either teams are becoming beyond desperate or Ken Holland is a wizard for simply getting anything. And I mean anything.

I'm siding with the former.

Desharnais was barely playing... But I guess it's more like trash goes out and trash goes in. The good thing here is that there is no danger of Ott getting 16+ minutes a game and eating up the offensive zone starts and PP minutes, so there's that.

 

[Rebels57]

Montreal now has 14 bottom 6 forwards

The bad side of Claude Julien might come out and Ott might get a shot at a top 6 spot due to past reputation and because Montreal doesn't have any bonafide scoring LW aside from Pacioretty. Ott is competing with Lekhonen and Byron, for goodness sakes. Byron is another player who "belongs" on the 4th line and Lekhonen might be a top 6er in the future, but not right now.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

True. The only forwards who have respectable scoring paces worthy of of top 6 player are Pacioretty, Radulov, and Galchenyuk.

 

[Lilou]

Disaster. They already have that bonehead shaw. What is bergevin doing.

 

[Guardian17]

Montreal needs some truculence.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

The Wings haven't drafted well since the 90's. This meme needs to go away.

Someone needs to get their head out of their rear end and join reality.

 

[AfroThunder396]

These numbers are atrocious

 

[Kitchener Boy]

Ott

Montreal is stock piling goons.
