Awesome signing yet again for Laval. And here I thought winning was not important....

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

So much help needed for both the AHL and NHL team.

Quite the offensive D, 15G 60P in 72 games last year in Syracuse.

 

[Agalloch]

While we wait for Markov and Radulov, we make sure that our AHL club will be good this year.

He probably wants to give Lefebvre the best AHL team ever so they make the playoffs so people will stop crapping on lefebvre and Carriere

MB is sick and tired of the Lefebvre threads on HF so he is doing everything he can to have the team win! Will finally show all of us on here who have been bashing Sly non stop.

I would find it ironic if the Rocket manage to put together a great season and nice playoff run.

 

[crazyd]

Guessing guys like Hanley and Johnston won't be back.

 

[Spectaculard]

Screw the stanley cup were gunning for the calder cup baby!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Guessing guys like Hanley and Johnston won't be back.

They weren't qualified.


I just don't know why we're giving all these Laval-bound players two-year deals.

I am thinking the same thing. No reason to be making this many July 1st deals for AHL players without having some sort of agenda.

Thought that was already confirmed?

Fixed. Thanks!


Good to see them fill the Rocket with veterans. Productive ones at that.

60 points in 70 games last year.

Also, after Tampa dove into the Habs' system to get Bournival & Dumont last year. It's good to see Habs go into Tampa's yard for some much more talented players. Both Froese and Taormina were in the Calder Cup Finals last year with Syracuse.

To be fair, after DLR and McCarron graduated, we don't have much down there to fill in those center positions. Also, some defensemen were not resigned.

Not being qualified doesn't necessarily mean they won't be back. Maybe management doesn't believe they deserve a raise.

It was already confirmed last week. Johnston signed in Europe.

Need to make Lindgren a winner before he replaces Price

 

[CGG]

Really good AHL numbers. Only 12 NHL games in the last 5 years which seems weird for a guy who clearly has offense.

Lindgren is already NHL ready. Is he as good as Price? Of course not. Lot of teams won the SC without Price so is Lindgren is good like Murray? Maybe not, maybe yes.

Easier to slip through waivers.

Are the Habs as good in front of Lindgren as the Pens are in front of Murray? maybe yes, Absolutely NO.

 

[Habs100]

I hope so. I'd rather use the 10 million on a #1 center.

 

[bleuetbio]

I like this! Need people to give the puck and he's one. Laval should enjoy this small win

 

[The Price is Right]

MB signs his depth players as usual... Please get a top like center

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

If Habs use that 10M$ Price is asking into a top Center, then habs are closer to a team like Pens.

I am one of Habs fans who like it the most but I doubt it will happen. At this point I will be very happy with Hanzal as consolation price.
