- Brendan Gallagher signed to 6 years, 36M extension.

''Gallagher stun warrior'' - Perfect Engrish Bergevin quote

'' All high end ufa were not coming i tried hard but at the end of the day im not willing to give 9m a season for an ufa player''

'' All calls i got for trades were all asking me KK , Suzuki and Romanov , even for 3rd liners players''
Journalist will reply '' But other teams managed to get good top 6 players for pretty much nothing ''
Bergevin reply '' Well hockey trades are not simple we were not ready to give our 1st round pick and Fleury for Rakell but we managed to give 2 2nd for Brandon Saad who is a high end player that will help this top 6''

bla bla bla bla

end of last season when we draft bottom 10
'' We had tons of injuries and im proud of our team and our young players , aka Suzuki and Kotkaniemi because they are probably the only 2 that will get a chance this season.

Habs trade two first round draft picks, Domi, mete, and Jordan Harris to Winnipeg for Patrick Laine and a 2nd round pick.

Bergevin says April fools in October, after flexing his biceps thinking about how he led everyone to believe Subban was Untouchable.

claude julien retires from head coaching

the habs draft Connor Zary

 

[Treb]

Habs draft a guy in the 1st round, half of HFHabs who never saw him play say he is a bust.

Habs sign a top6 forward, half of HFHabs say he's a cancer or a scrub and paid too much for too long.

Habs trade Domi, half of HFHabs say the return was crap.

Habs re-sign Hudon and Ouellet as AHL depth, half of HFHabs complain we should have signed a top2 D and a 1st line wing instead.

 

[David Suzuki]

Who?

 

[Astormynight]

Habs draft an an obscure player in the second round. HFboards user meltdown then after someone take the time to look at said prospect, everyone realise that it was a very good pick but still too soon!!!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Trades are hard.

No one wanted to sign with us

We got quality depth (4th liners)

Kovalchuk is back

 

[BLONG7]

MB joins the WWE, his handle is The Trader!!

Jets turn down MBs final offer of Domi, Kulak and a 2nd for Laine

Yeah I could definitely see all 3 of these.

I have no idea who Timmins likes as far as the draft is concerned. Looking forward to finding out. Lapierre is the type of prospect some scouts are probably really high on and others are not. I would be impressed if Timmins drafted him because he's a play making center. That's not our need. So if TT drafts him, he must think he's damn good.

Kovy! Kovy! Kovy!

"Bergevin does f*** all yet again, Molson trusts the plan"

The sad thing is that there are people who still believe there actually IS a plan. Unbelievable.

 

[The Real Timo]

I look forward to hear more about 'depp', good in the room, how hard it is to make trades, how the plan is to make the playoffs and then anything can happen, etc etc... more non-sense from someone who has no effing clue or business to be in the position of an NHL team GM.

One of these guys is a Hab:

[JC Superstar]

Habs trade Allen, acquire Fleury and a Vegas first.

GM Marc Bergevin got two high draft choices, a second and a first in the process and only gave Charlie Lindgren. He said that Seattle is likely to draft Fleury thus keeping Edmunston.

Don't wake me up please!

2 years of Fleury's 7M deal is a lot to take on for the 29th overall pick. If he sucks, no way Seattle select him. I'm sure at this stage of his career, Seattle will prefer another of our players, like Evans, Armia, Lehkonen, Chiarot, or Edmundson.

[Legend123]

But the most important headline:
Habs acquire a 2020 7th rounder in exchange for a 2021 7th rounder

 

[The Great Weal]

Habs extend Gallagher to a 5 year 33 million dollar deal.

Habs trade 2 2nds for Josh Anderson. Timmins gets upset and says he liked a player who ends up being a good one. Timmins defenders defend him with this excuse even though he doesn't say that he also liked 15 other guys.

Habs trade down a 2nd for a late 3rd, 4th and 5th to have more darts at the board and take the lowest upside players available, most likely from a high school league aka the Timmins gem that has never worked out.

Habs trade 2020 7th to Philly for 2021 7th.

Habs sign Kovalchuk to a 1 year 1 million dollar deal.

Marc Bergevin says that he tried to improve the team while rebuilding, but you can't give up Ryan Poehling for Ryan O'Reill...errr can't give up Alexander Romanov for Johnny Gaudreau.

Bergevin also says that he is happy with the team and hopes to make the playoffs because only 16 teams make them under normal circumstances.

Timmins will quote himself after 1st round pick:
"This guy’s a heckuva a hockey player. He makes plays, he’s got a great shot, he can defend, he’s big, he’s got great character, great compete. All the intangibles check off. And we see him as a player that’s only going to get better. He hasn’t even reached his full potential yet."(2018)
