Confirmed with Link: Habs Sign Ales Hemsky (1 year, $1M)

[Price is Wright]

I think people should reread the first page. It's lot of fun.

"Semin 2.0."
"That's what people said about Radulov!"

Uhhhhh only idiots said that about Radulov.

Honestly Semin looked better than Hemsky.

At least Semin lasted for 15 games and had 1 goal and 3 assists for 4 points with 12 PIMs. Hemsky so far has played 7 (though it really is 6 games and 1 period as the title says) and he has donuts in every category save for 10 PIMs.

Semin was treated like the big signing of free agency when he should have been treated like a 13th forward like Fleischmann was originally treated. And they put him with Galchenyuk who was supposed to be playing regular centre for the first time in his career and Lars Eller being moved to the wing. It was a bad situation. Galchenyuk played well enough, Eller sometimes looked lost on the wing, and Semin had the tools but was just not fast enough to keep up with NHL play. But Semin still had hands and if treated like a 13th forward, it wouldn't have been so bad. But they treated him like a discount top six forward. It was so stupid.

And who ultimately got the blame? Galchenyuk, because Therrien eventually removed him from the top six at centre and put him back on the wing. After trying Desharnais and even Mike McCarron over him, Therrien finally put Galchenyuk back at centre and he was aces. We heard the same argument before it too. "Galchenyuk looks great at right wing, why move him back to centre?"

Sorry. Ugh. That year broke me the way Mike Milbury trading Zigmund Palffy broke me.

He's alive and skating lol

With a no-contact jersey. He may end up wearing that when he finally returns to play an NHL game.

Guess who's back, back again.
Savior's back, tell your boss to give you a day off.

 

[brianp1950]

I remember when there were rumours about trading for him 5-6 years ago and it never panned out, I was hoping we could get something done because he had some sick hands and was exciting to watch

7 games played, no points and 10 pm, no loss , waive him or put him out when he is healthy to help improve the draft selection.

It's not even 7 games. It's 6 games and 1 period. And not even 1 period as he left like two or three shifts into his game.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He made the trip with the team, but wont play.

We could probably get a 5th rounder for him at the tdl.

Are you serious?
Why would anyone give a pick for Hemsky?

I would be thrilled with a 7th.

 

[Runner77]

A conditional 7th, provided he doesn't get hurt on his way to the acquiring team.

 

[The Great Weal]

A conditional 7th, provided he doesn't get hurt on hiw way to the acquiring team.

Someone could sneeze a foot away from him and he would be out for the season.

His best chance will be in Arizona where there is no breeze.

Yeah but with the heat he may just spontaneously combust.

 

[Canadienna]

Guys, I get it's frustrating to have him be so injury prone, but an entire thread and all these jokes about the man's health seem a little low.

Dehydration mate.

Big deal. I don't think anyone would shed a tear if a mod would lock this thread. Heck, I wish this thread never came into being in the first place. It's infuriating to have him, period.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

In Anaheim he would be shoved down by Mickey Mouse mascotts.

If we aren't allowed to discuss physical or mental health , what's the point of the Bergevin threads .

When Bergevin got him, I said in this board I wasn't agree with that signing. I said he will be porcelaine fragile. I think hockey now is a very hard sport. Players skate faster because new rules, so hits are harder. An actual hockey player is like a stunt man capable of getting hits like a bicycle crash, falling stairs, getting punches in the face, like a rugby player too or a football player. All the signing of falling stars àla Briere, PAP, Semin and Hemsky are pure lost of time. They can't stand the hits, they have to skate into the holes all the time to avoid getting hit. You don't win anything in NHL with players avoiding hits. If they can't stand hits, they must retire or play in KHL.
And it sends a message to the farm team we don't trust you so we sign Hemsky (and co).

Well we can't talk about anything else when it comes to old Panty waist. I think Hemsky and his 40 or so million he has earned, will be fine with a few jokes about his health.

MB doing anything to increase Cap Space.

Yeah, let's chill and be happy this nice guy (Hemsky) gets his million dollar this year and have a tv show with him and his wife playing harmonica and guitar around a fire place at home, then the camera shows his jacuzzi, his nice garden and the kids. I'm 100% sure Hemsky is a nice person in real.

 

[Paddyjack]

If you read this article in LaPresse today, maybe you guys wouldn't be as harsh about him these days. Pretty sad really.
