Hope he explains how signing briere fits the :
- get bigger/harder to play against
&
- build via draft, not overpaying ufa's
philosophy he came on board espousing.
Hard to follow the consistency or logic in his moves the past 6-8months, hope he clears it up.
The Briere signing was more of a for now thing while the kids drafted work on their game to be nhl ready. Can't tank it up like the Oilers and bring in kids way before they're ready to.
As a bonus, Briere can also mentor Galchenyuk, Eller, and Gallagher, like he did many times over in Philly. I am not a fan of signing Briere myself, but I don't turn into an irrational cry baby over every move or non move.
I really hate Habs fans sometimes.
