HF Habs: Official Montreal Canadiens Off-Season Thread

[davey999]

Matthew Peca has untapped potential and is a great skater and a center.

Very small and limited offensive upside.

 

[waffledave]

I like Reider. One of the best skaters in the league and has untapped potential.

You're thinking of Hertl not Reider.

 

[theghost1]

Very small and limited offensive upside.

That is not true he could be another Yanni Gourde if a team gives him ice time.

 

[Tyson]

Bergevin needs to be kidnapped and locked up come 1-3 July. This might save this franchise long term. There are no quick fixes without losing good young prospects and overpaying for mid grade vets.

 

[417]

Very small and limited offensive upside.

Should pretty much guarantee a 3yr deal then

Is 417 slipping to the dark side?

We need to all work together and plan the kidnap

 

[OldCraig71]

These have to be the darkest days in habs history, even darker than Houle, his franchise was bleeding and those trades were not hockey moves but rather budgetary. We are currently in the top 5 of the whole league in franchise value but this time around we have been run into the ground by nothing more than incompetence.

Belial is now going to warn him, plan ruined.

So basically the way things are going , we’re ginma have a less talented line up than last year

Even though I wasn’t a Galchenyuk fan, I recognize he’s a better more talented player than domi
This organization is a joke
On Sunday we’re gonna hear I tried, players weren’t available and the once’s that were didn’t wanna come here. We like our team. We had a great draft and are loaded in prospects
So pretty much the same Bergevin f***ing BS
This lineup as of June 29 is cringeworthy and the sad part is that 5-6 other team are worse.

How is he doing these days? Can you also ask him when the reveal date is for the "plan"? Did you see Grants tweet? Of course you did. Cheers.

 

[Laurentide]

What did he say about ward?

He maintains that Ward was not a bust despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. But the words "I was wrong about..." never pass McCagg's lips.

Lol the plan is whatever happens as if July 1. If he got Tavares, that was the plan. If he hit ROR, that was the plan. If he gets no one and maintains status quo, that was the plan
In other words, he has no plan. He’s a f***ing moron

Watching the habs this year be like:

That's been me for years now...what's the next stage? I'm headed there.

 

[Habaneros]

That's been me for years now...what's the next stage? I'm headed there.

next stage???? Habs 2018-19

 

[BigHabs]

6 million across the board for each:

Neal / VanRiemsdyk / Stastny

Pacioretty Stastny VanRiemsdyk
Neal Drouin Gallagher
Domi Danault Byron
Hudon Shaw Lehkonen
Deslauriers/De La Rose/Scherbak

Move out Schlemko and Benn as well to give the Habs some more cap.

I think WE should be the sellers, Bergevin should trade MaxPac for picks in next year's draft.

 

[Cobra Commander]

next stage???? Habs 2018-19

Wow

 

[Tyson]

The next hockey season starts tomorrow with open season on signing available players and forming the team for the next season.

Curious as to what you all feel is the right course- rebuild or do a quick restock by signing and overpaying for mid grade talent???

They need to use their cap space to acquire assets

The next stage is not watching, which i unfortunately entered last year.

 

[SnapVirus]

Sign Emelin.
Sign Duclair.
Sign Ouellet.
Sign Vermette.
Trade Pacioretty for a first.

Tank the season.

Domi - Drouin - Sherback
Lehkonen - Hudon - Gallagher
Byron - Danault - Shaw
Deslauriers - Vermette/Dlr - Duclair/McCaron

Mete - Weber
Emelin - Petry
Juulsen/Benn - Alzner/Schlemko

We won’t get any of those players. But you can add Plekanec. Man, take out Pacioretty and include what our blueline looks like and the league may penalize us for intentionally tanking. Dump Price. There’s no reason to keep him around.
