Bergevin went for AAV and sacrificed some term. The sliding scale was respected.

 

[HOPE]

Mehh, not of fan of 4 years, but 3.5M isn't a big deal, you can always expose him or trade Chiarot.

 

[Deebs]

Good deal. Fair for both sides

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Good deal.

[Hannibal]

Good deal! f*** yea

 

[Runner77]

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Pretty much as expected

 

[Runner77]

Maybe Edmundson just threw that at them cause he knew he didn't want to go back there.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

That's Pejorative Slured. Bergevin is delusional if he thinks he's gonna help the defense.

I put a 90% the probability that all of the people here who think he is good backtrack by the end of next season.

 

[Le Tricolore]

A year more than I would have liked, but it's not a bad contract at all.

 

[JoelWarlord]

Not a fan of this move at all.

Not going to lose my mind about this but we just signed a second worse Chiarot and he's probably going to play in the top 4. It's bad in a vacuum, it's bad in the context of already having Chiarot, and it's a downgrade to have him with Petry. It's even worse in the context of this offseason where we're already blown nearly 8M on a backup G and a 3rd pair dman before free agency or the draft.

under 4 mill? just turned 27. good deal

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Not a bad deal and player in the basic sense

If anyone can figure out what Bergy is building with this team and what direction they are going with 8 million spent on a backup and 4-5 dman when wing is the issue, im all ears.

 

[The Great Weal]

Not a fan of the term, but the cap hit is good. Anyways, he or Chiarot are gone next year in the expansion draft.

 

[sampollock]

good signing,

now MB let's get scoring... you clown

 

[Runner77]

 

[Supersonic]

Not a bad signing by itself persay but when you look at the whole offseason strategy really makes you wonder...

Get ready for next year lol

Top 4 or 5 D for $3.5M. What’s to hate??

Sorry. I forgot where I was for a second.

 

[sheed36]

Hope MB saves some cap to add some scoring or moves some salary out. Allen @ 4.35m + Edmondson @ 3.5m is cutting into that precious available cap space.

not this, but no scoring I hate

I'll take 8 million(which won't last more than 1 year) in a much needed backup and 4-5 dman over 8 million in sweet nothing for another year. We still got tons of cap space if for the first time in forever we can use it on a good player.

I wonder what exactly people expected. The guy got in front of an arbitrator last season and got awarded 3.1 million a year. Being a UFA, he was certainly going to get a bit more. This is fair market value.
