News Article: Negotiations with Kristo have started.

[JayKing]

Is he eligible to play for the Habs or is it Hamilton only ?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

If Kristo could perform on the same level as Gallagher, I'd be very happy. I hope that he could join Habs this season. Better to try him than playing Moen, White or Armstrong.

I'd play him at the place of Gionta on the Plekanec line with his speed. Could be deadly. If Bourque isn't coming back, wouldn't mind seeing him up here(assuming he signs) instead of trading picks and prospects for a guy that's so slow like Ryan Clowe

Once he signs he can play in the NHL or AHL

 

[WaltWhitman]

Well if he doesn't sign he becomes a UFA I believe, like Blake Wheeler and Justin Schultz 2 examples

Yep, I live with him in Walsh Hall at UND and he told me hes gonna play for the Oilers.

That's a picture of me and him talking about it.

We've talked about this get it through your heads there is no loophole anymore for Kristo.

Just to check, but you are being facetious, right? I really hope you are.

 

[Mrb1p]

The one deserved is worth so much more.

As for Kristo, I've never liked his off-ice antics and I ranted against him earlier in the year. He seems like he has to grow the f up if he wants to be a professional - but supposedly he's talented so let's see how it goes.

He's just like you, thats why you don't like him

Totally kidding

 

[Dr Gonzo]

Totally kidding

K that's what I thought, just making sure. You never know on the interwebs...it's a series of tubes after all, anything can happen!

 

[FlyingKostitsyn]

WAIT!? I thought I read on HFboards that Bergevin wouldn't sign him because he'd be a distraction?

Hopefully he signs, they should let him train a bit with the Habs after so they can evaluate him.

He totally is a distraction, he bought beer for 19 and 20 year olds...

Who was the last Habs player that graduates from University (spend 4 years at University) ?

Greg Pateryn probably.

This is no joke. He might buy beer for the Gallys. Millionaire hockey player or no, there must be a good reason the US legal drinking age is 21!

Gonna have to keep him away from Galchenyuk.

 

[Wats]

If he can have a Pavelski or Oshie type impact right out of college we'd be in a really good position next season and going forward.

Maybe Kristo can join Hamilton for the AHL playoffs.....oh wait.

 

[TheGoalJudge]

Anyone have any insight on him? He looks like a sniper type. Fast, good hands, quick release.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Maybe Kristo can join Hamilton for the AHL playoffs.....oh wait.

Let's start by simply scoring 2 goals per game

When healthy:

Bourque Plex Gio
Patches DD Gally
Galagher Eller Ryder
Moen Halpern Prust
Armstrong

Markov Emelin
Gorges PK
Bou Diaz
Tinordi

I'd put Kristo in Hamilton first to see how he playes and let him adjust a bit to pro hockey and playing with men. If we have any injuries, he'd be the first call up to take a spot on one of the top 3 lines but I definately wouldn't have him on a 4th line.

To make his signing easier Bergevin might give him a game or two right off the bat

The thing is, I don't think we'll have an healthy line-up anytime soon. With Bourque suffering setback and upcoming injuries (because there will be), I really think Kristo should be given a few games just to see where he is at in his development and see if he can be of any help during the playoff. He could be a huge deadline addition without giving anything in return.

For my intended future, I should have a bit of alcoholism in my past. Also hypocrisy.
