Confirmed with Link: Dumont and Ellis re-signed (1 year, two-way)

[Pompeius Magnus]

Has Danslescoulisses issued an official apology yet ?

 

[Whitesnake]

Good depth signings. We do have confirmation that Bergevin is working.

They have. And showed the email containing the info.

Good depth signings. We do have confirmation that Bergevin is working.

Add it to the list of his greatest accomplishments! Right next to trading for Drewiskie and then somehow extending Drewiskie for TWO years.

You know things are weak on the farm when people are complimenting AHL depth signings....

You mean the kind of signings every single team in the league makes?

Wait until people realize Petry isn't coming back... The drama is going to be x100

 

[montreal]

I guess they accept their QO ?

you don't have to accept your QO to sign, but once they sign it's a moot point.

Well he would've come back if Bergevin didn't waste valuable time by signing AHL players!!!!1!!!!!!

Dumont... What gave you the idea I was talking about mitchell ?

Should have been clearer.
Going forward, is there really a big difference between Dumont and Mitchell?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I'm actually impressed, rumor sites will rarely acknowledge their mistakes or be so open about their sources. Good on them.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Surprised to see both re-signed, but pleasantly surprised.

 

[DAChampion]

Ellis is still a long shot to make the NHL, i am nlt sure what the pointvof dumont is.

 

[Agalloch]

I think Dumont wasn't planned to be re-sign but maybe after talking to all the other players to be signed, Bergevin wanted a cheap 4th centre signed in case Mitchell will not be retained. I mean 575,000 is ideal for our cap 'problems'.

Negociations with Bournival are ongoing too and I think he will fight for a one way but will be getting a 2-way like Dumont.

 

[Monctonscout]

Just re-sign Petry ffs

Yup, I can't believe Petry didn't accept a 800k 2 way contract.

 

[Agalloch]

Yup, I can't believe Petry didn't accept a 800k 2 way contract.

I'm not worried. He will be signed.

 

[Monctonscout]

I'm not worried. He will be signed.

I know, just find it dumb that people bring up Petry...like an NHL GM can only negotiate with one player at a time...jesus!

You can negotiate contracts?!

And more than one at a time?!

What? No... Dumont at this point in time is an AHLer and pure depth. If Mitchell isn't re-signed, MB will just fish another bargain fourth line center from the free agent market. Bournival has not played center since I can't remember.

He's just insurance in case. Bournival will not play center but with the season he just had, it will be a 2 way. I still think he has a future with us.

 

[montreal]

i am nlt sure what the pointvof dumont is.

you need vets in the AHL, he's a leader and he's cheap depth in case injuries pile up.

 

[Ezpz]

If we get rid of DD I'd have zero issue with Dumont as 4th line center.

 

[montreal]

I think he can fill in if injuries hit but I would rather have someone else as a full time 4th line center.

 

[Video Coach]

Should have been clearer.
Going forward, is there really a big difference between Dumont and Mitchell?

Similar players (RHC, responsible, energy, good on draws) but Mitchell has proven himself to be more effective in this role.

Dumont is the captain of the Dogs and would make a good 12/13th forward on a call up.

 

[habtastic]

As annoyed as I am with MB right now, he still had to do the regular stuff so that 2 years from now we don't have a thread about how we completely ruined the organization by not taking care of these easy simple signings. Personally I like those players. Glad that they were re-signed.

I also think Dumont would make a find 4C with the rest of the lineup in shape.
