950 AAV per Lebrun. Not bad.

 

[Tyson]

Yeah Clode keep scratching him you bumbling moron

 

[Et le But]

Better deal when I expected when I heard the news, but it is absolutely amazing how this is always a priority if this organization.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Thats ok , but now he needs to play on the 4th line

 

[Lebowski]

I'm happy with that.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Nobody was interested to trade for him for a playoffs push?!

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Perfect role player, but yeah, on an energy line.

 

[Runner77]

Yeah but ... the rumors said that he was going to get traded.

what gave you the impression that signing Deslauriers was a priority?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Awesome!!!

 

[sheed36]

900,000 per season?

Edit: Nope $950,000 per season per TSN690.

 

[417]

wonder how many minutes of a segment Lavoie & Dubé are going to dedicate to this signing?

They've had "Deslauriers" as a topic at least once every week since he was traded here lol

 

[Habs Halifax]

Good signing and reminds of the Byron deal kind of. Lets hope he can score 5-10 goals for us on the 4th line next year. He's got 7 in 36 games this year.

 

[Habs100]

I would have gone longer term, but am satisfied with this. I would like to see Carr and Deslaurier on the wings of the 4th line all year.

What numbers could they put up over a full season?

6th round pick << Deslauriers for 2 years at less than $1M AAV. He's a nice piece for us on the 4th line. He finishes his checks and has 7 goals in 36 games. Good signing for us.

 

[Redux91]

Thank f***ing god, really did NOT want to trade this one, 4th liner i understand, but ...there's something about this guy, and he needs to stay

need to trade byron, froese, shaw and even DLR before you even consider trading NDL come on now

 

[llamateizer]

Yeah Clode keep scratching him you bumbling moron

I'm pretty it was related to risk injury + trade potential.

Now since he is signed, expect him to be in the lineup on tuesday ( I hope)

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Now we need to get rid of Froese , De La Rose , Logan shaw , carr and Hemsky

 

[David Suzuki]

Did he break the number 20 curse?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Perfect 4th liner.

 

[c3z4r]

Sabres fans are really harsh on the dude on the mainboards. I liked the way he's contributed this season.

 

[boompuffboom]

DAMN im happy with this deal.

I hate Bergevin, but thank shit he didnt drop this ball.

Sabres fan

Lol

the ones that think Eichel is worth 10.5m

Lol and just how many draft picks do you think we will get/can get?, its not like he's not going be getting SOME draft picks at the deadline and keep in mind we already have quite a few this year already, so say bergevin adds 3 or even 4 draft picks through trading plekanec, byron, benn (all of which is pretty sure to happen, it better anyways), i mean how many more players do you think will even get dealt? its a FIRE!.......sale, but even trading 3-4 players away instead of 10 is considered firesale in sports

But what im really trying to get at is, having 10 picks in this years draft would be great and all but, will and can 10 picks in ONE draft change and turn around a franchise completely? ehhhh , its a start... but accumulate picks in the coming 2-3 years before overloading on 1 draft that might hit you only 1 NHL player
to me the key is obtaining another FIRST round pick in this years draft at least, i think its absolutely CRUCIAL, and to that end, the only players that can fetch a first rounder would be price weber and pacioretty, and pacioretty is the best bet, but even not trading pacioretty at the deadline doesnt mean we cant ship him at the draft to climb into the first round again after picking svechnik0--i mean after our first first round pick
