You would be hard pressed to find a Sabre fan with a bad thing to say about Flynn.

I love the thought of him helping a playoff team.

 

[Lesglorieux]

As of right now, where does he play? Lol. JDLR and Flynn as our 3/4 up the middle? Keep Eller at wing or what

 

[montreal]

was good at Maine a few years back. Something like Bournival but with more offense.

Talks are continuing between Habs and Flynn. Where would he be playing on the roster?

 

[WeThreeKings]

First line center.

 

[Seb]

Why?

 

[The Nightman]

The talks are heating up for this prized free agent, more to come boys!

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

If it means DD and PAP are being traded for picks then giddy up!

I then jump for joy and name Bergevin next Prime Minister!

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Why?

.... because he'll be a bargain! Our GM would never pass up on a great deal. It doesn't matter that Mitchell and Flynn are non-physical 4th liners, they're BARGAINS!!! We paid like a 4th and a 7th for them, it's so cheap, we should fill out the rest of our roster with players this cheap. We'll win the Salary Cap Cup.

 

[mtlhockeyfan]

I don't think I like this, Flynn barely played last year. Would rather Habs spend time and $$ on other players and develop their prospects.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Just how many grinders do we need exactly?

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I am kind of interested to see what he could do with a whole season with us. He must've impressed our pro scouts with Buffalo enough. And again this would tell me that we'd most likely be moving somebody out.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Just how many grinders do we need exactly?

We're a grinding team, don't you remember?


I don't care about Flynn. But if Bergevin manages to sign Galchenyuk before July 1st then he's in business. Not that I think it will happen...

 

[Draft]

Well, he's an RFA. So there's not exactly a bidding war. What use do we have for him? Guys like Andrighetto or Hudon can't bring the same or more?

This may mean that some of those mentioned above may be moved.

According to Bergevin, the key to win the Cup is to have 10 fourth-line players.

Nothing wrong with beefing up the depth before the playoffs, but why not make room for the kids next season instead?

 

[Shawarma*]

I'm all for depth, but if you plan on any of these guys being roster players than you have to ask yourself the question: What will their role be?

Bergevin comes from an organization that excels at finding roles for players and fitting them in to these roles. It is perplexing that his approach to signing players has seem scatter-shot and aimed more at stockpiling low end forwards.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

This might be a bit far fetched but I wonder if this means we'd be shopping Weise around.

I'm sure a team like Chicago who has to make cap room and has younger players that are playing in the bottom 6 that should be a top 6er next year; wouldn't mind taking a Weise who is cap friendly and would fill that hole in the bottom 6.

 

[NobleSix]

This obsession with bottom 6 grinders is getting rediculous.

We. Have. Enough.

 

[Agalloch]

I'm happy that he stays, it will mean keeping our draft picks at next year's trade deadline. You guys are always forgetting injuries. Flynn is a depth player, a 12th to 14th forward on our team.

 

[Richiebottles]

This obsession with bottom 6 grinders is getting rediculous.

We. Have. Enough.

Nothing wrong with Depth.

As we have seen you seriously can never have enough depth.

As much as rookies and a shiny new toy for the team veterans can always been counted on.
