Confirmed with Link: Habs acquire 2024 5th round pick + Tony Sund for retained salary of Bonino

[Bacchus1]

Wasn't Arvid Henriksson the next Lidstrom according to Timmins? I'm sure he didn't mean that and he was actually forced to pick him, Timmins was going to draft a superstar but MB said no. The unluckiest person on the planet!

It was the Northern European scout who go Bergie to trade for a 7th round pick because the scout was excited that he was a big player and he could skate. Never amounted to much and would love to see the quote where Timmins says that he would be the next Lindstrom. Almost 100% sure he never said it with a straight face. I think the scout may have been the same one who recommended Detroit pick Lindstrom. The scout had some catchy family name.

We paid over a million bucks for a 5th round pick?

What are you saying? I dont understand

I was wondering if Henrikson was included in this trade because Hughes wanted to be nice with him, because he thought he might be benched when a NCAA graduate or another traded player was brought in Laval

There isn’t much about him that I could find. Was signed as a free agent by the Sharks in 2019.

Nah, the Habs retain on the AAV (ie: cap hit), this represent around $100k in real money (ie: salary).
