GDT: 2013 NHL Free Agent Frenzy Part 3

[Price My Man Crush]

Bergevin avoids the ****ing questions, **** off.

 

[WeThreeKings]

"I don't have tunnel vision. I look at all our options"

Yeah okay, well start looking at your option to trade DD.

Seriously, nothing on the horizon and you got Briere with DD. WTF is he doing.

 

[Coldplay]

MB challenging the media, love it.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

"There's a price to pay for players that 29 other teams want... like I thought Lecavalier was worth only 3 million a year but Briere worth 4 because I'm an arrogant dbag"

Wow Bergevin's getting pretty hard on himself.

 

[No More Subban]

I said the same thing to myself when the trade happened. Imagine Koivu, going from MTL to Anaheim. AMERICAN DREAM!

Lol seriously, right? You live near the beaches, you always see girls in bikinis and its hot all the time. Then you move to Ottawa..lol good luck, bobby. It's a good trade though.

 

[Wats]

I was going to suggest a 'character' drinking game during Bergevin press conferences but then I realized it isn't something worth dying for...

 

[Mrb1p]

THEN DONT SIGN A USELESS MIDGET BERGY COME ON ...

Tiiiiiiiiiired. Never felt that angry with a GM since Houle.

What did he say?

 

[TT1]

bergevin seems mad

 

[Coldplay]

What did he say?

Something along the lines of "you give me a player with size who signed a contract that was worth it today".

Not word for word, but along those lines.

 

[dreamingofdrouin*]

Man, sucks for Bobby Ryan. California kid all your life, then had to move to a place like Ottawa. Lol

he's from newjersey

 

[overlords]

Born in Gatineau, close enough.

He's more from Ottawa than Montreal.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah. Such a shame the season starts tomorrow.

Because there's so many left on the market we haven't said no to. Will be sweet dishing a 2nd round pick for one, again.

 

[Habssince89]

I don't know about anyone else but when TSN has David Clarkson as the #1 UFA on their list the entire UFA list wasn't that great to begin with IMO..

It's because they knew through Dreger (who is Nonis' cousin) that Clarkson would sign and therefore wanted to inflate Clarkson's status to continue the toronto propaganda

 

[Coldplay]

He wants to go on record that it wasn't "we lost on Vinny, let's go get Daniel".

Ahahahaha calice

Should have signed Gordon for 3 mill for 3 years.

There's like 15 guys that are better than Clarkson, but by doing that TSN can make it look like their Leafs got the best player available. They're winning the Cup next year, just ask Darren Dreger

 

[Gustave]

Lecavalier showed interest but money and term wasn't what Berg was ok with(obv). Persued Briere, persued both at the same time.

 

[KingGallagherXI]

Probably Parros.

They're dubbing Bergevin whenever he speaks English. So bush league

No ****, it's a French station.

 

[Seb]

Character is for Bergevin what Truculence was for Burke.

Vincent. fkn. Lecavalier.

Tiiiiiiiiiired. Never felt that angry with a GM since Houle.

Yeah with Gainey and Gauthier (to an extent) it was a slow burn, with Houle and now Bergevin it feels like every single move he makes just infuriates me.

 

[Harpo]

Replace Gionta with Latendresse????

A clear case of underrating Gionta and blind obsession with size here.

Probably, although we would save 4 millions in cap space for the trade deadline and if Latendresse could stay healthy, it wouldn't be such a downgrade.

I just think Gionta's the odd man out with the Brière signing. I'm ready to give a second chance to DD, and Gallagher is awesome.

 

[Coldplay]

Bergevin looks pissed.

 

[Coldplay]

He's emphasizing that it's hard to get players with size who are skilled.

Which is true.
