Rumor: Habs Considering Pomminville (PTO or Deal?)

[Tyson]

Through the draft?

Please elaborate since I have no idea what point you are trying to make

 

[ECWHSWI]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say to again. This Bergevin’s tank. Let the team suck. We don’t have too many holes left.

tank ?? isnt it supposed to be just a little reset or something ???

 

[cphabs]

I can’t take it anymore...
LOL

 

[Mandala]

Please no. If you want to play nice, play Markov 5 minutes per game until 1000.

The point was made that good teams don’t build this way. They do. They suck and don’t sign anyone and accumulate high draft assets, no?

 

[vokiel]

I call BS, more click baiting and fake news.

 

[OldCraig71]

Is this the potential big move that some of you have been waiting for? Hopefully, this is just a stupid rumor, we seriously do not need another player like this, geez, just play the kids and see what happens, who cares anyway? It's not like this team has any realistic shot at winning anything. Do what you say you are doing and stick with it, stop flip-flopping for Christ sake.

 

[Runner77]

After Hemsky, Semin, Briere and others... you would believe that we moved on from such players... but nahh, we need more deppppptttthhh

 

[Runner77]

It doesn't cost anything. He can be buried.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He is this year's Hemsky/Bouillion/Samsonov...

I call BS, more click baiting and fake news.

Hopefully you're correct.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Have to say though, I always hoped he'd score when I listened/watched a Sabres game just for the "population of Pominville" references. That was gold.

 

[habs73]

Lets sign pominville to a contract, he is just what we need...what a joke if this is true

The scary part is, this is so MB.......which is why we are all in a panic. This is the GM who says one thing, and does the opposite.

For sure, no rhyme or reason to anything he does. If he signs pominville to gain a right shot, why again was Shaw traded?[/QUOTE]

[Help]

Not opposed to signing him up as a cheap stop gap measure with Shaw gone. If one of the younger guys wants his job, they can take it. If not, I'm okay with playing him 11-12 minutes a game at 5v5 for one year. One of the few positive contributors the Sabers had up front last season, managing to break even with or without Eichel/Skinner

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

MAYBE on a PTO and even then I'd rather see someone younger have a fighting chance at the camp if I'm being honest. We're not one last rodeo vet away from being a contender.

 

[EveryDay]

PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Canadienna]

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

We have 8 million in cap space.

Even after sending guys down to the minors, I think it's more like 6. Until we can do that we're at 4.

Meh, I wouldn't challenge the "8 millions" in cap notion even if it's not technically correct.

What we have is 4 millions in cap, 4.625 millions on Alzner and 1.366 millions on Mason... So that's almost 10 millions NOT helping the team in any way, shape, or forms. And that's before being roster compliant.

Well unfortunately bad contracts still count against the cap.

 

[SnapVirus]

Markov > Pominville

The only ufa forward I’d like would be Thornton

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Screw Pomenville.

They not sign him. He's a bum.

Hen Habs were interested, he used them as leverage to get a deal he wanted done.

Now that he's washed up and no one wants him he all of a sudden hopes Habs show interest and send him an offer?

Yeah... Keep looking Pommy.

 

[Toene]

Id wait after camp for these kind of signings. These vets train on their side and it's not like they need camp like the younger players, they've been to several already.

If neither Suzuki nor Poehling make the team then maybe you do it but let's not crowd it too much.

A PTO doesn’t stop a young player from making the team.

At this point I don’t see him coming but if he does the young guys need to show their worth with a little competition.

Truthfully, I’d love to see both Poehling and Suzuki in the AHL. Let them dominate there.
