GDT: July 1st - Crazy Contract Day

[SirClintonPortis]

His epic flow and this goal will be remembered.

Injuring DD will be the most historic moment of his tenure with the Habs.

Not at these prices, they're ****ing awful

You need to realize that these are the going rates. This is what you have to pay if you want to improve your team.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Seems that we offered more money for Lucic....

Maybe the term was not that huge.

 

[Thebesthockey]

MB is desperation mode

dangerous for trade coming

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

Jason chimera 2x2.25

Scored 20 goals-40 points

Byron 3 year deal. Ok

Jason Chimera is 37 years old

So Bergevin was suppose to make a big splash today? in the pool?

 

[deandebean]

His epic flow and this goal will be remembered.

I was there!

So you are glad we are not trying to win yet we have an old core now with the last trade.

That's puzzling to me.

The only way the trade for Weber is great is if we go all in now.

100%, every player has a price. And right now they're being overpaid. We have some big renewals coming up...lets not handicap ourselves with immovable contracts like the ones Nielson, Lucic, Ladd and Eriksson got

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Quite the Weber effect, we offered more money to Lucic than Edmonton but Lucic chose to go to Edmonton out of all places.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Jason chimera 2x2.25

Scored 20 goals-40 points

Byron 3 year deal. Ok

Chimera is 35.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

New thread is up

 

[Andy]

Reminds me of when Gainey was runner up for Elias, Briere and Shanahan back in the day.

 

[Lshap]

Some do some don't. Lucic said his loyalty to Peter is what made him sign in Edmonton at the end of the day.

Yeah, that I can see. Old relationships count, which is why the Habs were apparently close on Lucic, with Gallagher and Price as bait.

When it comes to attracting free-agents our players probably have some clout, but Bergevin probably can't jump ahead of other GMs who have much longer relationships and histories.
