Confirmed with Link: Habs sign C Manny Malholtra (1 year, 850K)

[Captain Mountain]

Meh, Manny is done. Cheap deal for nothing and waive-able too.

Don't really care.

 

[FinnHab]

Good deal, no complaints.

 

[rickthegoon]

we now have an ogre
edit....ooops, meant to say cyclop!

 

[Prendan Brust]

Malhotra can still be serviceable for another year. This guy understands
the game very well and will be a good mentor for youngsters. He's a real meat and patatoes player IMO.

 

[Andy]

On Tsn: Malholtra said he wanted to go a place where he can win

 

[Whitesnake]

Very good deal. And just 1 year, I thought that it was going to be 2....Even better.

 

[teh doors]

Won 60% of his draws Habs needed that kind of steady guy in the 4th line hole during the playoffs.. just don't give Therrien Bill Lindsay

 

[c3z4r]

perfect signing. Manny will win so many more faceoffs for us.

 

[FloJack]

Bergevin already making moves for next spring.

 

[Clumsyhab]

Good signing, and good to hear him say that he wants to come here because we have the chance to win the cup.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Nothing exciting, but a solid player. I like it.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

this is a nothing signing.. replacement for white . but my question is why are u wasting time on this.. get to the real **** before u worry about signing nothing *****es who are done to take the 4th line

This signing was clearly done during the interview period, do you actually think Bergevin called Malholtra at 12 today to start discussions?

 

[68*]

Meh. 2 points in 35 playoff games. Should help in the regular season.

 

[the]

How high is he rated character wise?

 

[Whitesnake]

Becomes BY FAR our most capable faceoff guy. Might not be nothing for some...but when he'll rack the faceoffs wins...you'll change your mind.

 

[Habsfan18]

Interview on TSN. Said he came to Montreal for a chance to win. Have to love that.

 

[Fozz]

Depth, speed, leadership and defense. Definitly an upgrade over White.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Interview on TSN. Said he came to Montreal for a chance to win. Have to love that.

That's ye standard PR stuff

 

[JLP]

Eye injury persists in limiting his vision, can't fight, but maybe he can play a good physical 4th line C role I guess we'll see.

 

[Deebs]

$850K for one of the best faceoff guys in the league and solid defensively.....good signing.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Real 4rth line C and pk guy. For 850k it can only be good

 

[habdynasty]

Becomes BY FAR our most capable faceoff guy. Might not be nothing for some...but when he'll rack the faceoffs wins...you'll change your mind.

Something that the Habs have been missing for a long time.

 

[Miller Time]

Love this signing...

 

[JamieLagenbrunner]

Decent 4th line (C) signing by Bergevin. One of the best penalty killers & good on the faceoff dot.

 

[groovejuice]

I'm tired of signing guys who are done. God dammit.

He's still a useful player, an upgrade at the position and on a very inexpensive contact.

I really like the signing.
