Waived: Alzner on waivers at noon

[lawrence]

Canucks? Please.

absolutely not. Burnaby boy yes, but 4,625,000 dollar cap until 2022, huge pass.

We can put him on waivers next season.

 

[lawrence]

We can put him on waivers next season.

then what is the point of making a claim for him this year?

 

[HabsDood]

He might end-up on one of those teams for compensation..

 

[TT1]

get in line boys

 

[Hostile Offer]

We can put him on waivers next season.

You do realize you still have to pay him his money if he clears? Bergevin would cry out of joy if the Canucks actually claimed him.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'm thinking this might be a jab at management or the old management in some way.

I don't like Jim Benning, anyways.

Couldn't afford Radulov and Markov, rather pay Alzner instead.

 

[Bleedred]

Bergevin should be on waivers next for signing this stupid f***in contract in the first place.

A lot of people saw this contract being a problem coming.

A lot of free agency contracts are..
I remember thinking that i would have rather paid Markov 1M extra to keep him, but i thought Alzner would probably fit with Petry (DD and OD)
boy was i wrong!

 

[Slyfox]

Was there one person except for Bergevin who thought this was a good contract? This was one of those contracts that the eye test ppl and adv stats ppl realized was horrible right from the get-go.

 

[MylesToGo]

Glad theyre not keeping him for Bergys pride. Years ago, theyd keep him and play him more than he can handle to prove some point.

 

[Habernack]

 

[Agalloch]

I hope we don't lose him.... not.

Markov would have been so much better! You can take his legs away but you can't take that vision away!

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Yes. Karl Alzner.

 

[Gaud]

Markov would have been so much better! You can take his legs away but you can't take that vision away!

I think the worst of it is that i thought it was a betrayal in some ways.. The guy could have had his 1000 games in mtl.

While Markov looks done, it would have been preferable to sign Markov for one or two years at his ask. Bergevin crapped the bed on that. Better a one or two year mistake than a 5 year one.

That said, He matched the offer Dallas made to Radulov. Radulov wanted much more from the Habs. How high did people want Bergevin to go?

It totally was. The guy played his whole career here and even refused to consider another team in the NHL. 2 years at what, 6 M he was asking ? I'm sure it was such a pain to fit under the cap, in addition to our stellar defense that Markov totally could not crack (sarcasm)

Since he cleared waivers, indicating that no organization has interest, can MTL fans stop forcing Alzner on the rest of us?

Thanks.

Nah, you can always trade bad contract for bad contract. Who else in NJ has a bad contract besides Schneider? MTL can't really pay 16M for two goalies...

Wait....you mean 30 other fanbases aren't just playing hard to get?
