Nothing against that if it’s a PTO

 

[Benstheman]

Why not on a PTO. I mean, the more options, the better. If Prospects (Suzuki primarly) show they are not ready, Pominville on the right side might be a decent option.

Although I agree, still seems like a waste of time. If we have a spot for a vet, why dodn't we sign MoJo or Dzingle? They were available at bargain prices and we have plenty of cap space anyways...

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Younger and faster.

Because they are not on PTO and they wanted more then 1 year

 

[MolleSon]

I guess it all depends how the kids will do at training camp. Thats why a PTO is the only thing I would consider at this point

We could have traded them for picks after 1 year if we didn't want them for a 2nd year. Just like Radulov, it's better to have their rights for 2 years than 1...

Who cares if they're not on a pto. We have 8 million of unused cap space.

Booof at that point, not sure these 2 are the solution so I prefer a guy that we can just sign if the others player are not ready

Maybe we tried signing them. Who knows.

They are also both left hand shot, which we have a ton of, while Pominville is a RH shot.

Also, Pominville is a QC born vet and we like those.

better have the lesser player cause it's only one year ?

Not like if Dizingal or Johanssen are game breaker ... They are patching solution like Pominville

Better Pominville than Shaw...
He's younger #NOT
He's faster #NOT
He's more productive #NOT

But he's cheaper.....that's right in Bergevin's alley.
Build with the kids.....by not playing them.

Pominville, if ever he comes to the Habs, will be as a PTO...and if he should ever earn his way onto the team, it'll be on a 1yr deal.

But that's alot of "if"...

The Habs kicking the tires on a potential PTO player has nothing to do with a plan.

If Pominville signs an actual contract and plays an actual role all while blocking the path of one of the younger players, then i'd agree with your post.

But that's not the case

 

[Captain Mountain]

Eh, if you believe that Montreal needs to add a RWer, that's probably a smart play.

He's not quite as good as Shaw, but based on last season, he'd be a defensive upgrade.

And while it's really hard to predict what a 35+ player will do year to year, Shaw is pretty unlikely to repeat the performance he had last season.

Pominville likely wont be expensive or command any term.

More bandaid fixes instead of a sound plan from this clueless management team. If this happens and he somehow ends up on the team I may end up canceling the NHL package for the year. This is becoming too much.

It's a PTO which every team does around this time. Ease up on the drama boss.

Yeah I prefer getting the picks.

Booof at whatever your logic is.

You don’t know me so stop with the advice. Hemsky, Semin, Kassian, Streit...enough with the band aids. Build a team properly.

We have 8 million in cap space. We could have outbid others and made it happen...

About the RHS, just shows we should have gotten David Perron last summer when he was under valued by the market...
