UFA Watch central thread

[Spirit of 67]

I threw some darts and got:

Plekanec.
Bozak.
Duclair.

 

[justafan22]

One of bozak/stastny/plekanec, one of dehaan/johnson and a mystery UFA forward

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I think we see a Zadina slection at the draft followed by a trade for O'Reilly.

 

[Et le But]

Shawsy and Alzner will be.

 

[habsgirl5000]

The Plekanec votes make me lol.

we all know MB just cant help himself

 

[Habaneros]

Who will be a Habs on July 3rd?

 

[junyab]

No ROR, it'll cost us our 3rd OA.

 

[Laurentide]

27 VOTES FOR PLEKY???!!!!!

You guys are insane

It isn't about what we want; it's about what we expect Bergevin to do. It's Brokeback Mountain with the Habs and Pleks. They just can't quit each other.

 

[habsgirl5000]

where is the check box for "none of the above" ??

 

[Tyson]

Our GM has proven not to have the ability to make a sound, complicated trade.

Habs will get fleeced as they always do

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

We're going to max out on centres.

Max Reinhart. He's in the bin...

 

[HabsQC]

Those lines are far from impressive.

At least they have centers now

I'm hoping Antoine Roussel will be a Hab and I got a little scoop that it's a real possibility. He's been one of my favourite players in the league not on the habs for awhile now. Someone you love to have on your team but hate it play against. He can play anywhere in the lineup, but I love imagining how tough him and Deslauriers would be together. I like how at least Bergevin is bringing in players that will sacrifice to win and getting rid of the softies.

You basically just described Andrew Shaw prior to him being traded to the Habs. The only reason we got Shaw instead of Roussel is because Shaw had a previous relationship with Bergevin in Chicago and Bergevin always defaults to people he knows or thinks he knows.

 

[The Great Weal]

I think we get Ian Cole.

That's pretty much Bergevin and his advisors in a nutshell.

 

[Habs13]

Find the worst defenceman possible. Double his salary. That's who.

 

[AboveandBeyond]

If Carolina fails to sign Elias Lindholm I would go after him hard and try to get him . 23 year old centre with lots of potential . He’s my #1 target

 

[XavierZabo]

Maybe Bergevin will finally get the Center of his dreams..isnt Deshernais up for grabs...

 

[Adam Michaels]

It is now midnight eastern time. The courting period has officially begun. I could imagine half the GM's are currently calling Brisson as we speak.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I can definitely see Habs sign him when he becomes a UFA.

He'll definitely be on the super cheap.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

I think we have enough borderline press box D right now

 

[BLONG7]

I can definitely see Habs sign him when he becomes a UFA.

He'll definitely be on the super cheap.

We will then have 6 Dmen, for our bottom 2 spots........makes sense...? lol

This of course, goes with having 12 forwards, to go into our bottom 6 forward group...

Amazing job this GM is doing...amazing.

Let's add Perron and Pleks too!!!

 

[DavePeak]

IIRC last year had a lot of (million)Dollar Store contracts at $1M/1Y, including our own Hemsky. Wonder what we will see this year. Which of these deals worked out great last season?
