Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Mathieu Perreault signs with the Canadiens (1 year, $950k)

[CoopersFalls]

He's good at face-offs and played lots of C in the past. It doesn't matter if he hasn't played C in Winnipeg for the last 5 years. Drouin hadn't played a lick of C and they still plugged him in to fill a hole. I have no doubt in my mind, this is Bergevin's Centre solution. (not that I agree with it)

Please trade Gallagher... Please trade Gallagher... Please trade Gallagher...

I love Gallagher, i think the odd man out is Drouin to be honest. But if Bergevin is capable of moving out Gallagher and his contract, he has to do it. The guy is going downhill

If your kids ever complain about having to learn French, show them this contract signing.

1 million dollars just because his last name sounds French.

 

[MardyBum]

Since when? (I don't mean to be confrontational, literally just mean since when. Always thought of him as a centre).

He played a bit of C for us earlier on, but outside of catastrophic injuries he's been a LW for years and it's not like we had good C depth.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Bergevin is a genious. I’m sure he’s expecting Montreal to have 5 good forward lines coming into the season!

 

[Channelcat]

Since when? (I don't mean to be confrontational, literally just mean since when. Always thought of him as a centre).

He was a C in Washington, part time C in Anaheim, and 98% left wing in Winnipeg. He did actually play some center here. And can certainly do it if needed.

Is Jim Benning still a dumb dumb? Any way we could ship Brenden back to the west coast ?

The problem has never been francophone players. The problem is always particular plug francophone players being hyped by the desperate media and then coaches playing them 10 minutes a game more than they deserve.

 

[sansabri]

I like this

 

[Anaheim4ever]

This is a steal that price. He will produce like 30 points and if used as a Center he will win 50% of faceoffs easily.
I always hated when we let him walk after the 2013-14 season.

Hope this isn’t serious

 

[Atoyot]

Not a bad signing. Also he’s a Center and winger

His back is too injured to take faceoffs consistently. He's a winger at this point.

Amazed he didn't get more, he had a great season after not having a great one previous. I would have been happy taking him back at 2 million.

Good bargain bin replacement for Danault.



Na I'm pretty sure they outlawed slavery.

Lol

Sounds? It's a nice dept singing

 

[HuGo Sham]

Him and Paquette are Perry and Staal replacement I guess?

Yes

See my last post. He has chronic back issues and can't take faceoffs. Some here and there, but he can't take them consistently anymore.

Why did they have a short leash with Francois Beauchemin whom they drafted & then traded away ? He is one of my favorite players whom are retired.

 

[Bleeker]

Are we rolling 5 lines ?

Toffoli - Suzuki - Caufield
Hoffman - Kotkaniemi - Gallagher
Drouin - Evans - Anderson
Byron - Paquette - Armia
Perreault - Poehling - Lehkonen

I know there's injuries and you need backup but those are all players who deserve to play every night

He ain't, he was injured for most of the season and during the playoffs and did you see his face? Imagine the body.

We lost Beauchemin to expansion draft and we didn't like it..

At least one of them will be traded before the season. We need a center and a PMD.

It says on wikipedia he was put on waivers by Montreal and claimed by Columbus who traded him a few years later.
