Andlauer sells the Bulldogs to the Habs. Team moves to Saint John for 2 years.

 

[Rockomax]

2 years? So enough time to complete the rink's construction in Laval?

 

[JLP]

Dogs dead.

Sort of surprising, the Ice Caps will be further for callups away it seems less convenient.

 

[Habby Gilmore]

Is this good or bad news??

 

[Michelangelo]

There is a direct flight every day out of St Johns bound for Montreal so that's not a huge problem.

Andlauer wanted an OHL franchise, Molson wanted to buy the Habs farm team, Winnipeg wanted to bring home their farm team, St Johns gets the fill the void left by the departing Winnipeg farm team.

Everybody wins.

And Toronto for longer trips.

 

[Hannibal]

2 year deal.

So 2017 = Laval.

Euro prospects will be happy

Flights aren't really an issue, there is a direct flight and worse comes to worse there at several flights to the maritimes which allows for quick connections to Saint-John's.

Thanks. I like it. Hopefully it doesn't change when they get moved to Laval.

Depends on how good their English is. Newfie accent might be too much to handle.

 

[sheed36]

Habs fans in Newfoundland will be happy.

Edit.. Thread title needs to be changed to St. Johns. Saint John is in New Brunswick.

 

[Richiebottles]

Weren't we already in Saint Johns ?

The Laval Jabronis, the Laval Minor Leaguers, the Laval Lavallois,..

The Habs farm team might've been in Saint John, New Brunswick before but never in St. Johns, Newfoundland.

Edit.. Never in Saint John, New Brunswick either but in Fredericton, New Brunswick from 1990-1999.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The Laval Jabronis, the Laval Minor Leaguers, the Laval Lavallois,..

The Douches ?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The prospects will get a much better atmosphere, better crowds too, lots of Habs fan in NF, fresh seafood, beer. Things could be worst
