Post-Game Talk: Free Agency Part 2

[Treb]

Does anybody else think $9.75M x 7 for Gaudreau is insane??

It's actually less than expected for a UFA Gaudreau.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Laval got worse

Well, we'll see. Defense should have a lot of young players. We still have Primeau, and are adding Slafkovsky, Mysak, Heineman, Simoneau and Francis upfront to Ylonen, RHP, Martel, Gignac, Belzile, etc. Need a couple of veteran centers. I think we'll be fine on wings.

LW: Slafkovsky, RHP, Heineman, Condotta

RW: Ylonen, Martel, Belzile, Teasdale, Saulnier

C: Mysak, Gignac, Schnarr, Simoneau, Abbandonato, Francis, Hillis

Lots of centers, but no #1 C.

Wouldn't mind resigning Dauphin to one year, one-way $750k contract, and have him as #1 C in Laval.

Dauphin back to AZ

[Belial]

Sure, it's -alright- but just like everything else Bergevin did.. it makes no sense in the greater picture.

Like just understand the fact we have traded Weber, Kulak, Lehkonen, Toffoli and Chiarot already. We are still up against the cap.

He was just a terrible manager.

I have no idea what he was planning on doing next, but he usually managed the cap pretty well.

I remember all those years when we had plenty of unused cap space...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval got worse

Laval got more interesting.

Guhle, Harris, Barron, Norlinder, Xhekaj, Fairbrother, RHP, Ylonen, Primeau, maybe Slaf.

Some will be in Montreal, but most will be in Laval. Will be more prospects to follow in Laval.

You still have Martel, Gignac, Belzile, Tesdale, and Schnarr. You brought in some good AHL guys today.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Who we lose?!

Cause there’s a good chance Guhle, Slaf, Mysak, Xhekaj, Norlinder play for Laval.

Well, we'll see. Defense should have a lot of young players. We still have Primeau, and are adding Slafkovsky, Mysak, Heineman, Simoneau and Francis upfront to Ylonen, RHP, Martel, Gignac, Belzile, etc. Need a couple of veteran centers. I think we'll be fine on wings.

A player that has a track record of producing in the A would be nice. I don't want this to be like how it was with Bergevin who took like 5 years to figure out you need good vets there.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah I remember all those years we had Price posting historic numbers with a bunch of cap space in our back pocket, but y'know, trades are hard.. can't possibly trade 1st round picks we're gonna use on McCarron and not develop him.

Habs are always fine on the wings Story of the last 30 years
There’s a reason we don’t win cups anymore
We have some of the worst centre depth in the league
After Suzuki we have Dvorak, dach and evans
If Suzuki goes Down for any length of time this team will be a massive disaster
That’s why I want PLD
The C position will be set for 10 years at least

Dauphin signed with Arizona

 

[Treb]

Dolphin, Belpedio...

Dauphin was there for 18 games and did not play in the PO, pretty irrelevant.

Bowey is replacing Belpedio.

Ouellet and Bisson are replaced by prospects (Guhle, Norlinder, Xhekaj).

Dea and Roy are replaced by Stephens and Richard.

 

[Tyson]

That's a solid signing considering the price

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Does anybody else think $9.75M x 7 for Gaudreau is insane??

Apparently, Calgary offered him $10.5m for 8.

He gave up $15.75m!!!!

10.5 x 8 = $84m
9.75m x 7 = $68.25.

Damn .... he REALLY did not want to stay in Calgary

 

[Belial]

Does anybody else think $9.75M x 7 for Gaudreau is insane??

Of course, is insane! the guy is a regular season god but will never get it done in the PO. Calgary dodged a bullet honestly...

People tend to forget how great price was
He carried bad teams and some thought we were good
Price was the biggest band aid in sports history
Covered up the cluster of warts we had

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

What about taxes in Ohio compared to Alberta ?

Yeah I think Laval got better, no doubt

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Does anybody else think $9.75M x 7 for Gaudreau is insane??

Not as insane as Sergachev for 8.5 per

 

[jrom]

I was hoping we would sign Samsonov and trade Allen.

It would make sense to trade Allen at the TDL, there’s bound to be a team that desperately need a goalie.

Not sure with whom we’d finish the year (assuming Price is LTIR). Monty and ?

Dream scenario: Devon Levi pulls an Adam Fox, refuses to sign with Buffalo and comes home to MTL

[Team_Spirit]

So what's left?

Kadri and the Pitlicks

 

[Belial]

We could argue forever, he did good he did bad and it's going to be the same for any other GM.

 

[MJN79]

Nazim Kadri must be enjoying this at the moment.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Trading Patches for nothing and re-signing Rielly Smith is pretty cringe.

 

[BergevinBurner]

We're not gonna make any trade before Hughes' press conference, are we?
