Streit placed on waivers (Update: contract terminated)

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'm sure any team would take a 60 point guy on their team...

He's not that anymore.

I see.

So we should go sign... Hemsky. Why????

 

[TheBlindFan]

low risk, won't count on the cap, Molson his losing is money, that all

 

[TheBlindFan]

I'll bet you he outproduces Hemsky x 2. I'll also bet you that we're a bottom third team in GF this year. Want to take that bet?

Let's make a it "honour bet". If you accept, I'm in!

I told you why Bergevin signed Hemsky over Jagr, It's because Hemsky can still skate! Jagr doesn't fit in what they're trying to build here.

There's a coach in place you know? Bergevin is not making these decisions on his own.

LMAO.

 

[MasterDecoy]

oh its alright, we still have markov.

piece of shit gm

Really don't get why you're posting that now lol

Is that an actual quote I made?

Either way...it's not like this place hasn't been in complete hysteria for the last 6 months.

So let the madness continue I guess

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

He can't SCORE!

He's a 30 point player at best. Jagr has averaged 60 over the past three years.

No, he hasn't..

 

[Agalloch]

Bergevin needs to have some confidence in the young guys and stop signing done players like Hemsky and Streit. That's my main criticism.

But, Streit experiment is done after 2 games, in the end, if they choose the young guy (Mete) it's alright. Now.... what about Hemsky ?

Of course it's alright, Streit's cap hit will be buried in the minors, it's like he never existed. As for Hemsky, I believe he can offer something, but if he can't, it's up to a young guy to earn his spot and then they can bury Hemsky with Streit.

Streit was a pointless signing but hey, it happens. Montreal needs it's draft picks to start stepping it up

Because it's funny lol.

And yeah that's a pretty direct quote. When people were freaking out about the possibility of losing Radulov/Markov you were saying that ''right now, they're Montreal Canadiens'' like...2 days before free agency opened.

 

[PaulD]

If thats all you need to consider............... why not sign Iggy , Doan or Jagr...........or Chelios?


low risk, wont count on cap, Molson losing money thats all.

Hey give me a shot ! " low risk"

some guys would justify ANYTHING MB does................Bargain Bin could bring back Scrivens and it would be a good move. Hey why not Soup?

[BLONG7]

Pure Hail Mary. Streit, Hemsky, 8.5 Million in cap room -- all evoke the absence of diligence and planning or worse, incompetence..

This is so bang on.............I have been saying all along, our GM is in over his head...he plans for nothing, other than what he is to wear! Brutal foresight...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Only 4 more hours until we know if Streit cleared. The suspense is killing me.

Ok...and?

"Low risk"...

Maybe from a money standpoint. From a hockey standpoint though there's a huge risk in signing crappy players. When you do that you wind up like us, a team short on skill. Stop nickel and diming. We have 8 mil in cap space and we can't afford Jaromir Jagr? We can't risk a few million on a guy who's going to be infinitely better than what we got?

At least Jagr would've been okay as a poor man's replacement for Radulov for a season. At least you know he'll do 40-60 points for you. THAT would've been low risk.

And if Jagr doesn't do much, at least we still got a player who can move merchandise. Doesn't help the team, but I would get it from a marketing standpoint. All that being said, yeah, Jagr is a better option than the others.

At least you're getting a guy who could maybe pass on some teachings to younger guys. Wish we'd gotten him in 2013.

Bergevin and Jagr, it's personnal. There something between them... I mean. Jagr would have been a lot better than Hemsky, it was obvious.

 

[llamateizer]

I came here to read about Streit. It end up with Jagr and Hemsky.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Ok...and?

Well, that was obviously silly because they could, and in fact did, just walk. The argument was the definition of moot. A lot of people found that silly so I figured I'd cash in the lulz.

Streit is a symptom of a larger problem. We "invested" in borderline NHL players and now we're reaping what we've sown.

Cliff Notes version:

Striet was done 18 months ago. MB gave him an undeserved 2 game retirement tour. End of story.

At least, Habs weren't interested in Chris Neil.
