Please tell me Lee is staying with the NYI...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Let it be an offer sheet please

and Kinkaid close to be confirmed eh

Please tell me Lee is staying with the NYI...

Hope that Panarin accept Columbus offer.

 

[Justin11]

Is Bergevin going without a plan again?

 

[Zorba]

Please tell me Lee is staying with the NYI...

For that price, I sure hope so. That’s insane
I guess I’m warming up to gardiner

 

[Redux91]

Anders Lee at 8 million would be so ****ing bad.

Well the reports non stop were duchene for 10 mill so maybe with anders itll be lower too lol

 

[Habaneros]

I’m wondering if Montreal is looking at Kyle Turris. Bergevin has liked him in the past. -Elliotte Friedman

There were plenty of rumours Curtis McElhinney would be signed as Carey Price’s backup. But on Sunday a few sources indicated Keith Kincaid was more likely. We’ll see. Elliotte Friedman

We should take Carolina's puny Finn center, cause they took ours in 2006.

13 more hours and hopefully, we'll know what the hell is going on. Never in a million years did I think MB would trade Shaw. Stanley Cup winner, respected in the dressing room, just put up his best season, someone he likes as a "character" guy, something is coming.

 

[Justin11]

Hope that Panarin accept Columbus offer.

God I hope so

 

[webersshot]

I too hope panarin stays in Columbus. Then the isles will keep lee and we'll have no choice but to offer sheet Aho

Blessing in disguise.

Just what exactly does Marc Bergevin have up his sleeve? - Sportsnet.ca

Just shows how little Friedman knows
Bergy would be crucified if he traded for turris

 

[Justin11]

Blessing in disguise.

At this point it might be

 

[JianYang]

oof, 7*8 for Lee? If that's the premium montreal has to pay, please stay way from the UFA market.

It’s gardiner. My spidey sense is tingling

 

[Jack Skellington]

LOL Lee at 8 and Provorov at 10.. and people were upset with Subban at 9???

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Jordie Benn to Vancouver as per Friedmann.

 

[MaxDummy]

I can see MB overpaying Lee big time like I said in the last thread. I easily picture MB being in love with Lee. Maybe he still hasn't signed with the Isles exactly because MB made him a crazy offer and he still hasn't decided

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Myers and benn Yuck

Lol. He’s not giving him 56 million. Get out of town man

 

[Habaneros]

goin' home.

 

[HABitual Fan]

I think he acquired those picks, not to make an offer sheet, but rather to show another GM that he has the means to do it having replaced all our own picks.

Like a hostile takeover in business or what Bourke did with Boston to get them to trade Kessel to Toronto, he will try to force another GM into trading a player Bergevin wants without actually getting to the point of an offer sheet.

Philadelphia would be my guess as to the team that will be targeted, for either Ghost or Provorov. Maybe for something like Drouin and picks(not the 1st round). Since they want to compete now, they may prefer that to just future picks as compensation if we offer sheet Provorov.. Then it will come down to which of the two defensemen they are willing to part with.
