Alzner 2.0 ??? I don't see how this is a good move really.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

OH PLEASEEE!!!! jack johnson is on my do not touch list. although i do hope he finds a pay day since i feel for his story.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Poor Habs fans.

Expectation: Tavares and Carlson
Reality: Plekanec and Johnson

 

[Hostile Offer]

No.

No.

No, no, no no no no.

NO.

What with bergevin and not puck moving dmen?

 

[angry pirate]

He would be an interesting option on a 1 year deal. He's coming off of a disappointing contract year and the opportunity to play next to Weber would give him an opportunity to get a 4 year deal next July that could be significantly larger than what one likely will be this off season. Overpay him on a 1 year deal and see if there is interest.

Gives the Habs some breathing room with Mete and the opportunity to flip him (Johnson) at the deadline to help next years draft if it works out.

Bergevin:
If you never have the puck, you can't move it.

 

[justafan22]

oh, and remember due to his own personal financial situation, he isn't taking a discount in relative terms.

Can I play too?

Expectation: Trade Weber for William Nylander+
Reality: Habs are stuck with Weber's contract forever

I prefer Weber's contract to Price's contract to be honest.

Alzner for Johnson's rights

Good luck with that.

The guy is practically broke. Yes, he had a disappointing contract year but some team will offer him term and when that happens there's no chance he's going to gamble on a one year deal instead.

That should go without needing to be said.

 

[danyhabsfan]

Weber won't play the last couple of seasons so his contract isn't that bad.

 

[Liferleafer]

Hell, even if he did play the whole thing out....it's still better than Price's contract.

I agree

Bergevin should't have waited to sign him or trade him at the deadline.

His value wouldn't be 10.5M/season after the season he had.


Bergevin had no problem giving Price (31 years old and injury prone) an 8 year contract but tried to only give 4 years to Radulov...

For me, signing your franchise goalie long term isn't the issue....but no goalie is worth that money, just my opinion.

I couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably at this.

 

[belair]

Suggested this in a thread about five months ago. Habs fans weren't having it back then either. There's Weber's partner, boys and girls!!

 

[Liferleafer]

I won't bash on Johnson, would take him in TO for the right price, but he's at best a #4....

Depends on how much cash over that term. We have ridiculous cap space right now and barring Tavares it's likely to stay that way. What's he likely to get right now? 3 or 4 years at +/- 4M per? Call it 12M floor with a ceiling at 18? If we could offer him say 7.5 on a 1 year deal, and we have the space to make that work, it might be something he'd consider especially if he's getting offers closer to the floor.

At 7.5 on a 1 year deal, he'd only have to earn 4.5 over the next two years to equal the original (low) offer. Even another down year, he'd be likely to get that.

I mean he didn't even play a single minute in the playoffs this year
