GDT: Free Agent Frenzy II

[cphabs]

UFA's drying up except the guys the Habs are rumored to be in on like Lee, Simmonds, and Gards.

f*** that! Drop an offer sheet on Aho! No one will sign with us anyways. I’d rather have my franchise be noted as ruthless than friendly. We are already known as ruthless On second thought... might as well keep it up.

 

[Canadienna]

What did he say now?

What did he say?

He said Montreal has a great relationship with Aho's agent and know him well. Apparently it's also Price and Gallagher's agent.

I don't think it means much at all, I just mean all these connections being drawn makes it hard to look away

 

[Whitesnake]

So much for the crowd who said : "Well, nobody would have offer that type of money to Price if he were going on the UFA market"
I guess they were right after all....he would have get more

Strange that some would say that...UFA market IS crazy time.

 

[Schwang]

He wanted to show Price who's the boss. You want to win now Carey, take that!

Trading Shaw while his value was high was the right move no matter what honestly.

Plan A was to try and sign a free agent. Plan B is to free a roster spot for Poehling. That’s why Shaw was moved.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Price Contract don’t look so bad now

 

[Zorba]

Or that he has a lot of interest in them and they are using this interest to get a higher offer from another team.

As the day goes on Their price tag drops

 

[Kriss E]

Not necessarily weaker with the kids we have coming up and the glut of bottom 6 we already have. We get healthier by virtue of not having shaw's jello brain on the ice for us anymore.

True but I think he'll need to explain a 3rd year in a row of not spending money...

Trading Shaw while his value was high was the right move no matter what honestly.

But he could have get a D, or a prospect of somekind and even an NHLer…..but getting useless pick that might help the team in 4-5 years from now wasn't worth it. Better keep Shaw if in the end we have 10M+ in dead capspace

 

[Runner77]

Something must happen or he will have to explains why he made his team weaker by trading Shaw.

With all the UFAs falling to other teams, maybe MB is just waiting for his counterparts to keep shelling out money until they're too close to the cap and then swoop in with an offer.

It's UFA day for other teams, it's trade day for the Habs.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Poehling play RW?

 

[CaptnNemo]

They traded DLO so Aho can keep his number!! Ahooooooo!!!

 

[Deebs]

that isnt story of the day material is it?lol

Maybe not, but I'd still be content with it if the big stuff doesn't happen. I'm all for Aho and lots of the other big moves mentioned.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Hoping for Aho and finally get Gardiner/Simmonds will make people here very mad.

 

[holy]

Can't believe people still tune into the tv analysis lmao. Quit giving those clowns ratings, they're lying through their teeth to you guys.

Okay. I read that in his article yesterday. I thought he had something new on it.

 

[G0bias]

I would part with Poehling + Suzuki before Kotkaniemi.

Yeah no kidding.

 

[LaP]

Gardiner and Ferland.... I'm good with that.

Still think the best plan providing he doesn't cost as much as Panarin would be to sign Lee and then trade Drouin for a young LHD. Gardiner wont cut it we need a number 2 not a number 4.

We have nobody outside of Romanov in the system and he will take at least 3-4 years minimum before being a solid number 2 (if he ever becomes one). To me Gardiner doesn't make much sense.

 

[Runner77]

Enough with that f***ing BS. So tired of these spoiled brats peddling fake nostalgia stories.

f*** Duchene and the cowboy boots he wore on that horse he rode in on.

 

[Prairie Habs]

**** that! Drop an offer sheet on Aho! No one will sign with us anyways. I’d rather have my franchise be noted as ruthless than friendly. We are already known as ruthless On second thought... might as well keep it up.

If we really want to make waives send that offer sheet to Provorov

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good news everyone, Nate Prosser signs with Philly!

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Nate Prosser just signed with Philly

Sounds like Bergevin is done for the day

 

[overlords]

Can't believe people still tune into the tv analysis lmao. Quit giving those clowns ratings, they're lying through their teeth to you guys.

I tell people the same thing about the news.

 

[Svart]

As the day goes on Their price tag drops

Sometimes. But other times demand is high so the prices stay up.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

7 years at $11M with bonus money in July.

4 1st from 15-31 range more likely and some may bust.

Why offer them more in trade value?

Exactly. At this point I wan't MB to go all in on Aho. LD is the second move.

 

[Edgy]

With Simmonds are Gardiner Still available tells me that Bergevin has zero Interest in them

I sure freakin hope so.
