Does anyone have a quality stream of TSN?

Mine keeps chopping/lagging.

Mackenzie himself said we could be seeing him in the top-6/top-9 next year

Yes, he could. Or he could just suck. He's not a proven NHL player. We still need a proven top 6 NHL player.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Who would you rather the Habs sign between Moulson or Vrbata if MB was after either?

I've always liked Vrbata, so I'd go with him over Moulson.

Our GM is useless I almost thought it was PG running things today. I mean a second in 2016 for Josh WTF at that point you keep the guy. Malholtra really and Gilbert and not qualifying White ugh ready for another 20 years of no cup you should be.

 

[Shabutie]

There's potential and reality. I mean, it's not like he was a PPG in the KHL. Guys that were great at PPG in the KHL or almost PPG are named Brandon Bochenski and Nigel Dawes. So it's all POTENTIAL for Sekac. Not immediate results.

You have to figure that he signed here because he was guaranteed a shot at the starting line up. Whether or not he'll stay there...who knows.

The guy had 15 teams after him, don't you think Bergevin had to give him some type of promise?

Exactly, counting on him for production is a huge stretch. Jiri Dopita people.

 

[Lebowski]

You have to think Habs have another signing left. Or at least, a trade for a forward.



Why would he get 5+?

Because that's likely the price you're gonna have to pay on July 1st to sign a top 6 winger with 25-30 goal upside. Pouliot signed for 4M. Gionta for 4.25M.

He could take a discount, but I doubt it.

Good day for the Sabres!

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow Buffalo.....Moulson 5X5....

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Moulson to Buffalo.

Hmm..

Okay. I may start to get worried @ Buffalo...

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Yes, he could. Or he could just suck. He's not a proven NHL player. We still need a proven top 6 NHL player.

I think we can just go with this :

Patch-DD-Parenteau
Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher
Bourque-Plekanec-Bournival

And if Sekac is good, then play him in the top 9 over Bournival. It's basically a roll the dice to see if we can get a free top 9 player who's better than what we have. If not then we're not screwed, we're just fine.

Good gamble.

I'd rather not have to pay, that's the whole reason I don't have cable haha.

 

[sheed36]

So Robidas 3 year, 3M AAV contract is good but Gilbert's 2 year, 2.8 AAV isn't is what I gather from the threads on the main board. Didn't read the entire threads though.

 

[DJ Breadman]

Actually, you could say:
[insert UFA name signed today] is going to get too much money for his production. Most of the time you would be right.

so you wanna pay 5mil a year for an 18-20 goal guy, just cause you want something to talk about today?

Yeah, if improving the team and plugging holes is useless, then MB is super useless. You were probably one of the people who *****ed about the Weise and Weaver acquisitions to.

 

[Dominator13]

What the ****? Moulson's going back to Buffalo?

 

[Andy]

Havlat to the devils per tsn

 

[Binary Code]

Hmm..

Okay. I may start to get worried @ Buffalo...

lol maybe not

 

[Redux91]

Amazingly as active as we've been last two days there's still a glaring hole at RW so I think we can all expect 1 more signing unless they give to a rookie which they never do lol

 

[CupInSIX]

Really don't see Montreal giving Vrbata the contract he wants at this stage.

I think we get our RW via trade.
