Rumor: Post-season Rumour Talk Part 2

[Zorba]

We are??..

Yes we are. How many pts did the blues have ?
Carolina won a round and had 2 pts more
Gimme a break man

 

[Bacchus1]

Perry?? Worth a shot?

Is he willing to take league minimum? Is he stoked about playing in MTL? Seems risky ... it could work out like gangbusters, but also could fail.

How often do NHL teams not try to compete from the star of the season?

I would be down for Perry as our annual 2$ lotto ticket.

Some know they have no chance when the season starts. Let’s not kid ourselves
This upcoming habs season should be competing amd maybe expected to make the playoffs with the right moves

Tell me that doesn't sound like a Bargain Bin move though... huge hit or monster miss! Radulov or Hemsky!

And we had 9 mil in cap space...

 

[Zorba]

Yes. And we May have a ton this year too
Unless he signs Armia and leks to absurd contracts, they will have at least 10 million

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Nurse or Bouchard?

The only 2 D taken with their 1st pick in round 1 in 28 years. Historically, they only take D in the 1st round if they have a 2nd 1st round pick (see Klefbom); otherwise it's forward after forward, despite that they still have a severe lack of forward depth at the NHL level.

Might as well try something different, I guess. They do desperately need top pairing D too. But, Klefbom and Larsson are not old. They're 25/26. They have Nurse, Samorukov, Bear, Jones & Lagesson as legitimate prospects in their system. That's not bad.

They have a severe lack of quality forwards though.

He grew up a Habs fan, so he might. Childhood team & all that.

He's basically Gallagher, but bigger & slower. He lives in the slot/paint. Is really strong on his stick. I go back and forth on him because his hands are still good, but his feet are not.

He'd help our PP. But, how well would he fit on a team that is based on aggressive puck pursuit through speed?

We could use another natural RW too.

Gallagher, Shaw, Perry, Armia.

Domi, Danault, Kotka, Thompson/Weal

Drouin, Tatar, Lehkonen, Byron, D'lo.

There is a spot there. I'd do it for 1 year.

 

[The Great Weal]

#23 pick on the trade market…..next couple of days could be fun.

Send them Andrew Shaw or Paul Byron

Might as well do it for 1 year, nothing else to spend the money on and I'm not giving Duchene $10 million+.

Further demonstrating our GM's incompetence and need to be shot out of a canon.

Carolina went home with....hmm..nothing. Wow...can't wait to be like them!
Blues were the best team in the league since Bennington joined.
Give you a break? You've been on one for decades. Time for you and this team to wake the f*** up.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Id rather sign Perry for 1 year 3.75m instead of wasting 10-11m into Duchene.

Ufas are f***ing dogshit this year.
Hope we stay away

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Perry has Semin written all over him lol. That's the kind of move I expect MB to do this summer, cheap gambles that most probably won't improve the team one bit.

There are some decent ufas. The year we signed Alzner was dogshit ufas.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

They are some ''decent''

But looking at all that money right now.

Mostly all deals are terrible even Rfas

That's what happens. Players get paid, inching everything closer to a lockout.

Strong NO on Perry. He is a terrible skater and we have a ton of depth at forward

thanks philly.paul holmgren makes bergevin look like sam pollock

Why would the owners want a lockout?

They have cost certainty protected by escrow, and revenues are increasing with a significant increase expected on the next US TV deal.

 

[habsfan891]

Top 9 on opening night 2020-2021

Lafreniere - Kotkaniemi - Suzuki
Domi - Poehling - Drouin
xxx - Danault - Gallagher

What are you giving up for that top line left wing according to your lineup you didn't give up anything

There will be other teams interested in Perry as well and he is only coming to Montreal if we give him a contract he can't refuse because it tops the others. This Ontario boy is not going to sign a league minimum contract to play in Montreal.

Plus, where do we put him and who is demoted as a result?
