Here he is. He said he doesn't need an agent... unless it's the kind that helps you go to the bathroom.

Montreal, ideally needs a 1st pair LHD and a 2nd pair LHD.

Yes. Mete may or may not become one of those guys, but either way we shouldn't count on it this year. I'd be happier if he was in Laval all year myself.

That second pair left PMD can wait for the trade deadline. If we try Reilly on that second pair with Petry it won't be the end of the world. You guys keep talking about giving the prospects playing time. Here's a chance to do just that.

I do Three bullets.
What are you talking about lol, and i am NOT defending bergevin on this, but he DID draft a super stud LD 2 years ago... he merely inexplicably traded it AWAY a year later lol... after trading away the franchise RD as well.
now the defense is in a mess, and he somehow still has a job lol after blatant mmiscues and botches...

I'm just going by what I'm hearing, some scouts didn't pay attention to him, others said he's a mid round pick so I'd say he is more a candidate for our 3rd.
Seem to like him by what info? They interviewed almost everyone at the combine and I'm sure some they didn't interview they have interest in but got their interviews elsewhere as a way of throwing off other teams.

And a 1st line center and a 2nd line center. It's not realistic to get all that from the free agent market and we don't have the assets to acquire all that via a trade. We will need to draft and development at the very least two of those.

And by that time Price and Weber are gone. Which is why they need everything and just rebuild proper.

Yeah, I can't see anyone really defending that,I mean Ekman Larson is about to sign for a little over 2 million more... Then agaib when I get to think of it, a few names come to mind when it comes to defending the signing if it happens

2 centres, 1 RW and a LHD.......Bergevin actually has 5 holes in his head.....if you count, you most probably have the same amount.

I was more than happy to acquire JJ but no way is he worth $6M per. If we could have got him at a discount I think he’d actually be quite good with Weber but I think he’s priced himself out. I think somewhere around $4M on a short term deal is reasonable as his production has been sliding for the past 3 years and he needs to show he’s worth the money. I’d probably offer a 2 year $8-$8.5M contract and the opportunity to play with Weber.
Pretty much everything They said I have read here, hence me suggesting it's BS.
But Hey Its okay. Not trying to tell you what to believe or not.

I hope they sign Jack Johnson for 6 million. Eat a giant piece of cap and play another giant piece of crap and tank for years. Also it's fireable to make two giant salary commitments to two finished D men in back to back years.

that actually proves the point he didnt see an issue at all. He actually trades a team weakness for a strength

Remember when the Habs decided that Jonathan Drouin, career winger, could play first line centre immediately, and Victor Mete, rookie defeneman, could handle first pairing defence?
Man it was so long ago. Nobody who made those decisions still works here right?

Well, I'm defending these types of move if the term is 1 season only.
- It will allow to not rush young players.
- These signed players would be in a better situation that elsewhere (like playing with Weber), therefore playing maybe a bit better, therefore having more value at the trade deadline.
- Then trade them at the deadline for whatever you can get.
All in all, if the Jack Johnson's of the world agree to sign with Habs for 1 year, it could fasten the re-built in the end.

I really don't want any long term bad contracts. Signing Johnson doesn't really make sense to me. I'd rather trade a winger for a D.

13. Zadina's pretty much the consensus among professional scouts...what's your point?

Jack Johnson would be a perfect fit in Montreal. Great for the tank and rebuild. Get er done MB!!
Pretty sad that Bob MacKenzie had to go on 690 this morning to deny that he linked Jack Johnson and the Montreal Canadiens
He's such a pissy pants
