[Luigi Habs]

Are you kidding me? Lmao

[murray]

What the

 

[Lebowski]

I’m happy if it means no more Weal on the PP.

He’s old and slow but he still has a shot.

 

[CoopersFalls]

Came here just for the comments. Cue a board melt down in 3...2.....1...

 

[jaffy27]

But wait, I thought he hated Russians??

 

[Phil Parent]

Doux Jésus.

Cheap and 2-way, whatever.

Maybe the guy wanted to play here and approached the team.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

I laughed.

 

[ArtPeur]

Needed help in Laval with all those call-ups

Lol Bergevin is a caricature of himself.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Montreal draws a UFA!

I'm good with this. Nothing exciting knowing he's struggled in his return to the NHL. But I don't have an issue.

 

[HOPE]

Love it! Bergevin is ready to trade tatar at the deadline! Filling body for the rest of the season!

kovy could actually help on the pp with his shot!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I mean, at that price finding a reason to hate the signing is just nitpicking... in a vacuum.

Looking at the bigger picture, it’s just a move that reeks of desperation to make the playoffs no matter what when we’re in no position to do so, and further proves there’s no plan whatsoever from the higher ups in the organization.

If you'd ask me who was the most useless NHL player at the beginning of the year I would have said Kovalchuk. So you can guess what I think of that signature.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Lmao. Can't be mad tho, just funny that it proves once again his nickname Bargain Bin

 

[Michoulicious]

Guess it means Gallagher/Armia are out for a while.

2-way deal, kind of funny! Good times.

 

[Tiger Svoboda]

Fun signing
Why not

Lol Bergevin is a caricature of himself.

The worst part is the general fan base will eat it up because Kovalchuk was a superstar a decade ago. Lol

 

[Chris Pronger]

Pretty sure he will retire if he is sent down.. 70k is hilarious

 

[Clumsyhab]

I'm happy, why not. Hopefully he'll do better than Semin.

Nice, I was one of the few who wanted it to happen.
