At centre

Did you just ignore Montreal all of last season?

Sounds legit, Bergevin loves mediocre depth.

 

[ThePens2500]

Wouldn't be a terrible addition considering he can still contribute 10+ goals but where exactly would the Habs play him? Seems pointless for a 4th line/press box player

Most non-Hab fans and media hang onto two year old narratives and just pound it home without ever updating their opinions.

 

[sufferer]

Pominville got the bulk of his points the past two seasons playing with Eichel before he completely tailed off and was pushed down the lineup as the season wore on. He's a shell of his former self and won't be hitting those numbers playing bottom six minutes with mediocre players.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Just why

 

[sansabri]

Nothing more than a PTO, I hope.

 

[Nizdizzle]

His isolated impact is fairly impressive, if you're into that sort of thing of course.

I wonder sometimes how these rumors get reported. Pomvinville has been linked to Montreal all summer. Is this a new source confirming the rumor? Or is this a corporate mandate for news, and Engels is just parroting, one of those things and that everyone in the know, already knows.

Sounds like Bergevin. Can't get an actual center, so just get yet another filler. What is this now, seven years of excuses, Bergy? Erm, excuse me. "This is not Playstation."

Why do we need another centre? Domi, Kotkaniemi, Danault, Poehling, Suzuki, Thompson...

We’re not contenders. Let the young guys develop.

I am no Bergevin fanboy (if it isn't obvious by my post history and avatar) , but Domi/Kotkaniemi/Danault/Poehling/Suzuki/Evans/Thompson/Peca is the best C depth we've had in nearly 3 decades...

This post has me feeling like:

 

[HOPE]

f*** pominville and all the Quebecers who never wanted anything to do with Montreal in their peak and suddenly when no one wants anything to do with them. "I always dreamed to play for the Canadiens". Same old narrative. Give that spot for youth.

 

[Agalloch]

Pominville ''could'' be a RW on our 3rd line.

These graphs always remind me of my kids finger paintings from kindergarten!

 

[De Montreal]

I Would rather give Vanek a chance along Kotkaniemi not the 3rd line but let see what Pominville has left on a PTO I’m fine with it

 

[ottomaddox]

I predicted this!

Having actually watched him over the last few seasons, his isolated impact is non-existent. His points almost entirely came from skating on Eichel's RW and being smart enough to hang out near the net. Having that sort of vet savvy isn't nothing, but anyone expecting him to drive play will be sorely disappointed.

Over Armia? No thanks.

He’d be competing for the 4th line spot if anything.

 

[Agalloch]

There's a need for a RW. I would take Laine tho.

 

[crackdown44]

Which is also okay. He’s probably league minimum on a one way deal at this point

People always overreact to these types of depth moves for some reason

 

[CauZuki]

We need someone on the 4th line now that some (including Bergevin) believe Weal is the answer to the top 9 RW problem...Don't think he is a bad vet to have in that limited role and if the price is right. (PTO/<1 million signing)

Not the worst guy they could sign. Getting someone like Pominville could get Montreal into the playoffs next year.
