Wasn’t Dreger the first talking head to state “he can see Tavares interested in signing with Habs” well before July 1st.....that worked out well, wouldn’t even talk to them.

Obviously, him and Debrincat were HEAVILY scouted and rumoured to be going to the Habs.
Yes. 100% yes. Top 6Cs are rarely available and despite Domi's tough year, there should be several GMs out of a whole bunch of GMs who need a top 6C who will make an offer valuing him as a 2C. I mean, if Domi had smoked it again this year, guess what, not available.

Nobody paid attention to Tavares’ pyjama pattern then.
If you’re a UFA in a market where 12 or more clubs are at the limit of the cap, you have no choice but use all the clubs you don’t want to go to as leverage.

is this a joke or serious? .... because it reads like a Dregs parody.

He's definitely a #2C, just need to find the right partner. I personally don't think Chicago is a good fit with Toews and Dach there but who knows

Ya just made it up as he always just talk a lot, covers both sides and never actually gives real insight or info.

Watching Tuch play makes me more inclined to get Anderson. I don't think he will be as good, but getting some size and goalscoring in the bottom 6 would be great. He had injury issues this year and struggled, but Tuch wasn't good either in the regular season and look at him now. I have no idea what it would cost though. Ideally Columbus would want a roster player back. We got too many similar players. I also wouldn't rule him out to be a 55 pointish top 6 player.

I've heard an opinion on Dreger that if you're a player seeking a new contract and you need to leak some information to help you in your negotiations, Dreger's the guy to do it.

I think that it is a great possibility that Taylor Hall uses us to get a better contract from another team and then tells Bergevin to shove that offer up his ass.

Grant Mcgagg tweets numerous times that D Adam Fox was ahead of Debrincat at the Habs draft board.

Man, reading some of these accurate comments on Montreal's free agent luck lately I'm not feeling great about signing any of these high end guys again. I'm hoping for a bold RFA attempt but what do you guys think of the lesser free agents. Joel Edmundson/ Brendan Dillion/ Ben Hutton for LD depth? Matt Nieto/ Jimmy Vesey for LW depth? Tyler Toffoli / Vladislav Namestikov / Jesper Fast for RE depth?

My guts tell me that this is just his agent teaching him how to create a demand for his services. You know How To Start A Bidding War 101.

A high profile free agent using the Habs for more money somewhere else? I don’t believe it, we’ve never seen that happen here before have we?

Please tell me you're paraphrasing and not directly quoting him. What a cockeyed statement!

Damn lets resurrect LAF trade proposal we are drifting. Going into the UFA sweepstakes with the intention of boosting players contract negotiations.

Of all those, the only one I like is Edmundson on the back end. Toffoli is too much of what we already have, IMO.
I'd also take a Flyer on Gustaffson on a short 'show me' deal, personally. We'd still need to add a physical, scoring winger, though and, likely, we'd end up flipping Domi for one.

every year I have posted the MB has money , he needs to help the offence.
well this year is no different, MB has all this coin, don't be dumb, but time to make this team better, the PP sucks
find a way you purple pants man to get us fans a PP, this team needs a real true 30-40 goal man,
so the clock is ticking MB, prove to the fans for once you mean what you say, "no excuses"

Dreger doesn't know anything - also, why is Bergevin going to sign Hall? Forget my opinion, but didn't he trade Hall-lite in pacioretty at around the same age because he didn't want to overpay for a declining winger? or the Radulov fiasco because he didn't want to give him the extra mill? or trade Cole a year after he was acquired? It's the same reason, he probably won't resign Tatar, or give gallagher lots of term? I tend to agree here. I'd prefer he trade for that elite winger with Domi + pick and prospects than pay hall 9 million a season when he's declining in 2 years. Money should go towards D and C. we need to learn from past mistakes
