Speculation: Kypreos: "Some suggest Habs will take a good run at Beleskey"

[Habsfan18]

@RealKyper: With Parenteau soon to be off books some suggest this will open room for #Canadiens to take a good run at #UFA Beleskey

That concerns me, considering the amount of money he is looking for..

Awful.

Fire Bergevin.

Awful.

Fire Bergevin.

You mean fire Kypreos right?

 

[TT1]

take a run at Frolik pls..

 

[Le Tricolore]

I mean, Beleskey is fine and all, but he doesn't really address any needs. I have no problem with him on the third line (or second from time to time) but he's nothing to write home about.

 

[Wats]

The same Kypreos that gets a bunch of things wrong?

 

[CN_paladin]

I wouldn't mind adding a much younger Beleskey if we can get rid of PAP or DD for a 6th.

 

[MXD]

Well, if we can get him at, say, 2.5 per for 2 years, I'm fine with that.

But that probably won't happen, so...

But are you fine with paying him 5+ million per year in a ridiculously weak UFA crop?

Actually, Kypreos has been notoriously accurate with the Habs over the last 7-8 years.

Maybe the Habs believe Beleskey is a late-bloomer.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Absolutely not. He should be getting half of that.

No, they believe he's another grinder who will fit their pathetic identity.

 

[The Nightman]

Oh ffs, I hope it doesn't happen. Sounds like Kypreos is more thinking to himself here, but I wouldn't put it past Bergevin to sign this Clarkson 2.0 to some ridiculous contract.

 

[dreamingofdrouin*]

He was unvbelivieveable in the playoffs...8 goals....i really really do not know what will happen with this guy...he might have tremendous upside...might be a complete one off....i don't i just know i can't control it..whatever happens happens...**** it

 

[HabsDieHard*]

Hahahahahhaha

Bergevin is such a useless tool.

Any number he signs Belesky for we can add 1.3333 for the next 2 years.

Can't wait to see the 6 million dollar man next year.

LOL

He played with Getzlaf and Perry, and Kesler at times. He was also a healthy scratch during the season. That's pretty much all you need to know.

He's turned down 4 years at $16 million from Anaheim. Whoever signs him will regret it, and I really hope Bergevin isn't that dumb, but I wouldn't be surprised anymore.

Before people get too bent out of shape, let's not discuss this like it's a done deal. Just Kypreos speculation.

But yeah, I'm staying away from Beleskey at anything more than 3 or 3.5 per.

I'm bent out of a shape if they even consider him. Our pro scouts should do a better ****ing job.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Please no. He's asking for too much. Oh god, why.

I would love Beleskey on DD's contract. Unlike DD he actually fits into the lineup on multiple lines. 3.5 isn't that much of an overpay if he turns out to only be a third liner. Worst case scenario Hudon becomes our second line LW on an ELC while Beleskey is making whatever on the third. Lets Chucky move to center. Trade DD please.

 

[Capitano]

This would be a pretty big risk, and would likely turn out to be a mistake.

 

[CanadianODST]

With everyones reactions, I wonder if it's even possible to please this fanbase.

PAP is already gone put on waivers to buy him out.

Beleskey is not the way to please a fan base...

 

[Tyson]

What Bergevin needs to do is move Tom Gilbert. With the emergence of Pateryn and the signing on Petry, Gilbert is totally expendable especially if the Habs want to make room for Tinordi....

That would free up another 2.8 Mil
