?

I thought the Habs had too many slow bottom pairing LH stay at home Ds. Merrill is a 7/8D, nothing more. Great locker room glue guy but not a reliable defenseman you want in the lineup all season.

Pats son? Doesn't he work for the team?

 

[NK94]

I like Merrill but waiving Mete over him seems... redundant? I don’t know.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Explains why they waived Mete.

 

[MMC]

The Habs are just obsessed with making middling moves and going absolutely nowhere.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Ehh. Wouldn't be a Habs season without Bergevin dumpster diving at some point.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

All these 4ths and 5ths... Kris Draper must have a lot of nephews.

Nephew according to Elite Prospects

Why did Montreal make this trade? They have a lot of bottom pairing D already.

 

[LeafChief]

I would have just played Mete?

 

[Hostile Offer]

They waive Mete to make room for... Jon Merrill? I don't get it.

 

[CanadienShark]

Waiving a better d-man, then giving up assets for a useless piece? Why MB?

 

[dm1371]

Jon f***ing Merrill? Are you serious?

What an idiot

 

[A1LeafNation]

What are the habs even doing?

MB creating loud noises to cover up his farting smell?

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I’m guessing most of the people criticizing haven’t watched Merrill. Pretty good depth D to have as a shutdown option.

He was good for Detroit and Detroit sucks. He’ll be better in Montreal.

 

[Vitto79]

So the Wings must of not wanted Mete
What does that say about him ?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Seems like another defensemen like most of the ones they already have.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Sounds like the Habs are making moves to say they did something.

 

[ffh]

expect the unexpected.

 

[Realgud]

Lol all these habs fans acting like they've watched Merrill. The guy is more than decent. A 5th round pick is a bad return, but it's better than nothing.

 

[The Macho King]

Bargainbin dumpster diving again.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Lol wtf
