Player Discussion Victor Bartley

[vokiel]

If this Bartley is cube 2.0 can we call him hexagon?

Octogon, but no I doubt he sticks.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Too bad, I would have liked to see Ellis get a shot. Maybe he get's called up before the end of the season

 

[OldCraig71]

I want John Scott called up so he can reveal "the secret reason" of how he got here.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Not only Gilbert will not be traded....but I'll bet you we will re-sign him 2 years....that would be so Bergevin.

Gilbert is probably done in the NHL.

This team messed up with Tinordi.

 

[beowulf]

So Bartley was recalled but Habs management didn't know he was injured so then recalled Ellis instead. Habs management really have no idea what the hell is going on do they. Time to leave the foxhole MB.

It is embarrassing how this team is being managed. I don't know what is worse anymore the on ice play or the off ice crap.

 

[montreal]

I don't see how this was managements fault, it sounds like the reporter got it wrong as Bartley has been playing and has really helped improve the IceCaps defense since it also has allowed Ellis to go back to his natural RD position but now he'll likely have to go back to playing LD.

 

[jaffy27]

Bartley is terrible

Have you seen him play and if so, how many games?......what does he do that makes him horrible?.....I've never seen him play but by the sounds of it you have, just interested in insider info

 

[jaffy27]

This team messed up with Tinordi.

Is a team always responsible if a first round pick is a bust and if so, why?

How did they mess up Tinordi? How come Tinordi is not excelling in Arizona?

Weise was misused his entire career, came to Montreal and found success because he was properly used, why is Tinordi not doing the same if given a chance?

 

[Tyson]

Nice to see that Bartley can actually play at this level. Tinordi still can't crack the Arizona line up while Bartley appears to be able to play.
Perhaps MB deserves kudos for getting an NHL return on a player who may never be able to crack an NHL roster regularly.

I have no issues with what I have seen from Victor Bartley. Always good to have a couple of western Canadian boys in the line up

Agreed. I like the way Bartley plays.

 

[Habs100]

Would be nice if Bartley, Barberio, Pateryn, and even Ellis could render Emelin and Gilbert expendable. That would free up 5 million on the cap and we may be able to get an asset for Emelin.

 

[Ezpz]

NHL return? Bartley is an UFA that isn't going to be back.

Gilbert is UFA and is good as gone. That leaves Emelin.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I didn't expect much from him but he's actually looked pretty decent.

Wouldn't mind seeing him back next year as a #7 D or help for the AHL.

 

[Chili]

With the recent injuries on the blueline, and they happen all over the league too, it's good to have guys like Bartley in your organization.

 

[Michelangelo]

I'd trade him for a mid-round pick if a team needs depth.

 

[Whitesnake]

I like him. Obviously not a top 4, but a bottom 2 that can help.

 

[417]

Not bad, certainly has showed better than Tinordi ever has....at least he doesn't look like he wants to fold himself into the fetal position whenever the puck is on his stick like his predecessor

how do you know he won't be back?

He's been good in the AHL for sure, so I hope he's back even if it's just for the IceCaps as they will need a vet back.

hes not bad out there but hate seeing a lefty on his off side, would rather see morgan ellis

 

[Hackett]

I don't see much in him. Better than tinordi? Probably yes, but that's not saying much.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I've been reasonably impressed with him, although I'll admit my expectations were real low. Might have some decent third pairing/dept potential. He's a bit like a thicker version of Gorges.

 

[Uncle Gary]

He has actually not been too bad. Has looked better than Tinordi a lot of the time.

 

[donghabs98]

I was thinking of Gorges as well when I was watching him play. If he allows Gorges's career path I certainly wouldn't mind that. Few thought much of Gorges when he was first acquired after all and it took a while before he hit his peak.

 

[Beige Van]

Might be worth resigning, but 2 years max and not a dime over $850k/yr. Basically a reserve d-man.
