I looked up who had #28 before and realize I forgot about Jakub Jerabek.... who then played for the Capitals.

Hmm I don't know. Head of Marketing may have some' to say 'bout dat. Bergevin will give him 3-4 years, Byron type of contract. Like Byron, he can speak French in front of the cameras.
In the words of Brendan Kelly,
**********************
But, and this is what the trade is all about, Scandella is a Notre-Dame-de-Grâce native.
Even better for the marketing department, he is the nephew of much-liked former Canadiens player and current TSN 690 colour commentator Sergio Momesso.

Scandella is not getting a Byron contract get real. If you want to shit on Bergevin, do it with stuff that makes sense.

What? He wasnt a healthy scratch... buffalo couldn't get more because they cant retain, we can.

I think Bergevin is stupid enough to give in to PR potential in Marco, and give him 3 X just over 3M AAV. A tad under Byron's term and money.
What's he earning on this contract again?
If you think he doesn't extended that's fine, I'm cool. But to me given the people working upstairs there's reason to believe he stays.

Byron is a middle six winger and Scandella is a bottom pairing dman. If you cant notice the difference between Byron and Scandella, maybe you should refrain from shitting on MB because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

That's where you and I differ, I see Scandella as Bergevin/Julien's choice for 2nd pairing. Not 3rd pairing. I mean who else? Mete, Kulak? Scandella is built for the playoffs in Bergevin's eyes, I'm sure. That's why he got him.
Or maybe I should refrain from ****ting on MB, at least according to a tough guy on here.

Go ahead and believe that. You can also believe that we will give Dale Weise a Carey Price type contract because they both have the letter "e" in their first and last name. They would both be ridiculous thoughts.
If Scandella gets a 3 year comtract(which I seriously doubt), don't think it will be from us and definitely wont be anywhere near Byron's salary. Maybe something along the Kulak lines.

His game has really fallen off a cliff for a guy still only 29. He was easily a top 4 defenseman with the Wild.
Now, he's an ok 6th. His skating is not good at all either. Actually, he hasn't shown any offensive skill. I'd only bring him back as not to rush the prospects.

Are you taking into account that he's playing injured? Is he still playing injured? I know last week he was a game time decision on many nights. Not sure about this week.
Maybe another team wants to take a chance on some depth D and trades away a pick. I really doubt BargainBin resigns him.

I think he's been playing injured ccx recently.
I also think he's better than the bus load of D we've tried out, including Benn, Kulak, etc... Unless we can find better, i woul resign him for one or two years 2-2.5M AAV.
Depends on if he succeeds in bringing Romanov over or not I'd say. Remember that Scandella is a fox hole buddy to some extent.
He likely gets more in the open market so it's better to deal away your pending UFAs. This team's draft record has been horrendous since the 90s, so getting prospects like Suzuki or late picks is called good asset management.
There's a truckload of dead weight contracts that are ending come July 1st. Apart from Thompson, Kovy and Scandella, I really see no point in retaining the rest. It also depends on what these guys are willing to sign for. If they have unreasonable demands, it's time to part ways come TDL.

I agree with everything you said. But it took MB this long to find a D like scandella (i.e. better than Benn, etc.. ). Not sure he doesn't try to re-sign him. And how much can Scandella really get on the open market? CJ already seems to see him as a 3rd pairing guy.
Which is funny because in the Price thread he is being credited for turning around our D and is the reason why Price can finally put up good numbers.
I am going to relish seeing the mixed narrative on Marco. On one hand he will be trashed for being useless, but OTOH he will be praised for making our LD better so Price was able to go into god mode again.

He is definitely an NHL Defensemen and will get a decent contract if he goes UFA. The problem for me is that with him Chariot and Mete it makes for a pretty meh left side. I would probably want to trade him or Mete and try to get a better puck mover.
