Interesting

Looks like HF needs a "Confirmed non-signing with a link" prefix.

 

[Joel Ward]

Prefix should probably be changed to "news".

From what I saw of both players last year (~25 games from Markov, ~60-70 from Alzner), I honestly believe that Markov brought more to the table than Alzner did. Can't help but worry about Montreal's ability to move the puck.

Just needs to be changed to Confirmed with Link. Guessing OP selected the wrong one accidentally.

And you say you're not the Reseob Ot Etteduag of the Lightning. Right. Lol.

Another 6 million in cap space to go after tavares.

or several grinders/depth defensemen. Dwight King is still out there

 

[tiredman]

seems weird/stupid to make a tweet like that.

I hope for Bergevin that Streit has a good season and stays healthy.

Can't imagine he'll retire, he was lights out last year. Disappointing that he's not going back to Montreal, but it is what it is.

I hope he goes somewhere with a legitimate shot at the Cup and wins one. Then they hang his jersey in the Bell Centre.

Montreals weak offseason getting worse.

Habs D is horribad.

Better pray Weber doesn't start his decline

 

[kdog82]

I say he signs with the Capitals

Would get them a new GM at least.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Another loss for the Habs

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He'll sign in Russia so he can play in the Olympics.

 

[MXD]

I Wonder if this isn't retirement or Olympics related.
I mean, players usually don't call pressers because they DON'T sign with a team.

At least not before their "signing" is announced somewhere else.

Hopefully it's Russia. Couldn't stomach seeing him play in another NHL jersey.

Do you think this will happen for players like Markov and Koivu? Honestly curious, as they obviously don't meet the standard set by the current Canadiens number retirements, but it's a different era.

There's no doubt in my mind Markov was the better d-man last season.

This is a chance for a good team to potentially make them closer to contenders if they get Markov on a 1-2 yr deal.
