LMAO!! I fully expect this...

Not surprised by Lessio though, but kind of surprised by Dietz

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I find these moves puzzling to be honest. Bergevin likes cheap depth and those guys were exactly that.

Lessio > Matteau.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Doesn't mean they're gone. Just didn't want to give them a raise. We can still sign them for less.

Lessio > Matteau, Flynn, Byron

Dietz would have been fine as an extra dman.

I would expect the same fate for Matteau at this time next season, he's still under contract for one more year. Only good part is he's cheap at $650,000.

I thought Lessio looked way better than anything Matteau brought to the team.

 

[Agalloch]

Lessio wanted a one way, that's why he's out.

They both stink. Probably means lekhonen or Reway will make
The team

 

[Richiebottles]

Too bad Dietz couldn't be a bottom pairing NHLer. I had high hopes for him when he got drafted.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

The preemptive posts to defend more of MBs pointless moves or decisions, color me shocked

Yup. Matteau is horrible though, he's gotta go.

Which likely means MB will sign another over the hill veteran before camp ends and the kids sit and watch.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Dietz has room for development and potential to be an NHLer.

 

[MXD]

I don't get why they're letting Dietz go honestly. He's a perfect 1st call-up/8th D-Men.
I get that Matteau is Under contract next season, but Lessio was better than him.

Deitz is waiver eligible and would need to be sent down. Don't think they want to carry eight D again.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Not guaranteed they'll go UFA, all this means is that they can be re-signed to a cheaper contract.

 

[Fire Everyone]

No one would claim him.

 

[The Nightman]

I liked Lessio, way better than Flynn.

 

[Madevilz]

Didn't Dietz improve a lot last season?
Not enough to keep him around I guess...

 

[vokiel]

Too bad we couldn't get anything for Dietz.. oh well.

[MOD]

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Why no QO? Lessio looked like he had upside.

 

[Richiebottles]

What is our contract number at ? It may have to do with that.

 

[DJ Breadman]

Lessio is no surprise, but Dietz is. Having drafted him I would of thought they'd given him more time to develop.
