Get over yourself. People are really whining for trying to bring back a relatively young depth player that has produced at a 20 points pace over his career for cheap? Jeez. This will be one long off-season.
Excruciating off season i would say
Rumor: Brian Flynn in contract talks with Canadiens

Umm brother you got your answer. We're un the running for him. NYR lost out today, so your whole point is invalid. Try something else.

That's Pierre McGuire on a radio segment. Till McKenzie, Lebrun or Friedman confirm the report, its useless imo.

I'm fine with this in principle, but this better be purely as depth. If there are injuries and the kids down in Hamilton are either forced to stay there or get garbage minutes on the fourth line as the fourth liners graduate instead, then I'll be mad.

Let me try to summarize the reaction to this over the last few pages"
Some fans are upset with Flynn playing 5 - 10 mins a game over a kid
Same fans think the Habs don't need any more veteran depth
Same fans want MB to trade for a star goal scorer instead
Same fans don't want MB to trade draft picks or decent prospects for said goal scorer as the Habs should develop within
Same fans can't look at the big picture. IF MB tries to land a scorer then it will take more than a scrub to trade and the line-up they look at today would surely have a few vacancies in it. And god forbid a couple guys get injured.

x1000. I still think the kid is better than what he shown. most people said he was going to be better than Mitchell. Some players need a little time to get their feet wet with a new team. Like Gilbert and even Petry.
Totally fine with signing the kid.

Eh, depth whatever but at the end of the day, MB's off-season will be judged on whether he can improve the Top 6. If not, has utterly failed.
I will admit the absolute lack of secondary scoring because of a dearth of any offensive talent besides for Eller is very concerning. Seems like our bottom 6 has too many 4th liners and not enough third liners.....
Also, why in the world would Reilly sign here? His chances of cracking a Top 4 defense spot is very slim?

Another thing to consider: most teams are in a cap crunch situation and maybe some good, or better, players would be available.
Flynn is a warm body - he can't punch, can't hit, can't score. Why the rush?

Of course he is, we need to solidify that bottom 9. lol
I'd like to know what he has done to gain your confidence, is it the bottom feeders he consistently adds to the roster or is it the outstanding coach he's hired?
The sad part is, I think he's probably a better player than all 3.

Emperor's new groove.
Last season he annoyed every GM with his "your top-6 winger for Emelin + Eller" calls. This time he's offering cheap plugs in exchange. And we don't have to waste draftpicks for cannon fodder prospects with zero skill-ceiling.
We don't need Flynn... We need a player that skate and play very physical and drop the gloves when need be for the 4th line. Someone like Matt Martin....he's not a goon and he is not a super heavy weight but he hits like a truck.

Why would he come back?
The guy was our leading scorer in the playoffs after a few games but that did not stop that idiot MT to bench him.

I was also impressed with Bournival and Thomas last year in the bottom six. Our team look at its best and had the best record when they were in the lineup. Our team speed just wore teams down. For example, our record was 21-8 with Bournival, but just 12-11 with DSP.
I hope Bournival, Thomas, Ghetto and Hudon get legit shots next year.
