Confirmed by Habs on Facebook

 

[Deebs]

One man Army returns

 

[Michelangelo]

Expensive, but then again, same contract as Byron

 

[Supersonic]

Damn lol good value

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Dont like the money

 

[Revansky]

Good term, AVV a bit high.

 

[DXStriker]

Good term, AVV a bit high.

Agreed. Byron's deal probably played hard as a comparative here

 

[KevSkillz4]

I really that contract and the player, welcome back!

 

[ArtPeur]

Expensive, but then again, same contract as Byron

So we're going to put him constantly on waivers in 2 years?

 

[malton]

It's a bit rich for me as I don't see Armia as anything more than a 3rd liner. But if he replaces Byron in the cap structure then I guess it works out ok.

 

[yianik]

KK breathes a sigh of relief that is hero is back.

 

[McGees]

Not bad...will be better if he shows up more than once every 11 games.

 

[Zxlime]

Good. 4 x 3 would obviously have been nicer, but still okay. Pretty much our best player along the boards. Now re-sign Perry and get him to get Getzlaf to come over as well. Armia - Getzlaf - Perry would be a heavy, gritty, skilled, annoying 4th line to play against.

 

[overlords]

that's fair given the playoffs he had.

 

[RandomTask26]

I like it! Glad he's back

 

[Seb]

I love Armia, glad he's back!

 

[Gamimenos]

I like term and money. Nice signing. Welcome back, Army!

 

[Kennerback]

It’s expensive. But Byron got that $ for being half the player Armia is.

 

[Deebs]

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

So looks like

Drouin - Suzuki - Caufield
Toffoli - KK - Gally
Anderson - Xxxxx - Armia
Lehkonen - Evans - Byron
Paquette

 

[Doc5]

Only 800k more than previous Annual average, great deal! Would have got more easily on the open market.

 

[Kennerback]

Agreed. Byron's deal probably played hard as a comparative here

this signing reminds me how bad Byron’s deal is.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Hard to complain even if the AAV is higher than I would've liked.

He can move all over the lineup and play in any situation, also he's capable of putting up 30-35 points.

 

[The Great Weal]

Yikes. We will regret this one like how we did with Byrons imo.
