My condolences, Habs fans.

 

[izzy]

short stint in philly

 

[BigHabs]

I asked a month ago about him from Philadelphia what it'd cost to get him. Just needing his offensive play.

 

[sansabri]

oh no

 

[Drew311]

He'll look good getting walked in a Habs uniform.

 

[Maitz]

Is he that terrible defensively?

 

[RationalExpectations]

Oh no... except if there is a divine intervention and Gustafsson starts actually playing D

He'll look good getting walked in a Habs uniform.

well at least he will fit in with the others

 

[Starat327]

I dont watch a lot of MTL games, but theres no way I can imagine Mete being worse than Gus.

You overpaid. I don't know what you paid, but you overpaid.

Edit: OK, I now know what you paid. You still overpaid.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Not exactly the offensive dman I was hoping for. We need someone who can munch minutes on ES and move the puck reliably, not a 3rd pairing PP specialist. Hope it's not for more than a 4th rounder.

Edit: a 7th rounder ok whatever lol

 

[Kwikwi]

for a 7th with retain salary, I guess

 

[RationalExpectations]

Ok for a 7th at 50% I really don't mind this trade

 

[Colezuki]

meh I'll take it, always more depth on the D is good

 

[Fazkovsky]

I wanted butcher

He's not.

 

[HockeyVirus]

How many bottom pair D does the Habs need exactly?

 

[sansabri]

i guess i can't really complain if it's for a 7th

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Congrats Flyer fans

LOL Gus is ideal defender for North since he doesn't play D

 

[Starat327]

He's not.

Its good to know my GM isnt the only one being stupid today. Misery loves company.

 

[AvatarAang]

Gustaffsson is younger than Coburn and he got them to retain 50%? Classic Lou overpaying again.

 

[Aoko]

Is he that terrible defensively?

He can't play defense. Yes, it's that terrible.

meh I'll take it, always more depth on the D is good

More depth... haha, oh you just wait.
