There’s 30 other teams in the league. Everyone at some point will have contracts that are perceived as “bad”. With free agency as well as the difficulty in signing star players, you can’t single out Bergevin. Plus, he didn’t sign Weber to that contract. As for Price, other goaltenders have or will start getting that kind of contract,That's deflecting, and I believe is not a valid reply. Please try again.
Ok, this is all fun, but the reality is even if he's overpayed, if he was good enough to play in the NHL, he would play for the Habs. The Canadiens don't have cap problems, so his salary is not an issue. In my opinion, if he walks out on his contract, he's not looking at a contract at half of its current value, he's looking at league minimum for 1 year if he's lucky. Chances are he would get a 2-way contract. Either way, he would still get sent to the AHL regardless. So no, he will not walk away from his undeserved contract.
Thank God we didn't lose Weise.

My beer league team might put in a claim for Karl Alzner on the condition that he brings all of the beer and buys us the expensive composite sticks. We will take you Karl and you will fit right in because you are a good guy and you skate slowly just like the rest of us.
Dubé with interesting comments on 98,5FM.
He says that the Habs kept Alzner up over Schlemko because Alzner, despite making all this money, is the kind of guy who you could ask to go sell hot dogs and he'd be happy to help, says he's always helping the medical and equipment staff, helps with loading the bags. Meanwhile, Schlemko keeps to himself and is more into pouting.
Alzner must be feeling much like Mike Komisarek did when he went to Toronto lol, what a kick in the pants it would be to realize that you were being carried by someone else and you actually thought that it was your talent that got you the ufa money. Of course the rain cloud gets even darker when you think that our Allstar GM thought that he was the prize of the free-agent market but then again, he also went "hard" after Lucic. Fun times.Alzner does more than than just play. You'll remember this epic post by Phil Parent from January 2019:
I mean, he might just be doing God's work at the same time.
Give up a sure amount of money for probably half just to play in the nhl again,hmmmm.I wouldn't be surprised. I'll give him credit if he does.While Alzner obviously has a lot of money still to make on his contract by playing in Laval, his comments from last season make me doubt he will report. Two years in a row in the AHL, with 3 more years on his contract seems like a career suicide move. If he goes down to Laval right now he will never play in the NHL ever again. He has already made some money in his career. My best guess is that he refuses to report, Bergevin terminates his contract free of charge and he signs somewhere else for 700k as a #7 or #8 dman for a weak team.
There is just no way Alzner is happy to spend his next 4 years in the AHL. I just can't see him actually doing it
If he does actually, that's a blessing for the Habs, another 3.55 M shed off the cap.Give up a sure amount of money for probably half just to play in the nhl again,hmmmm.I wouldn't be surprised. I'll give him credit if he does.
Laval still missing the playoffs tho
How so?
Farm team hasn't made the playoffs since 2010-2011, correct me if I'm wrong tho
