GDT: 2013 NHL Free Agent Frenzy Part 3

[Price My Man Crush]

bergevin seems mad

He is. If he's not well...I don't know why he looks so mad.

 

[Mrb1p]

Bergevin looks pissed.

No, I look pissed.


He just looks lost and he's not fit for this post.

 

[Kimota]

Wonder why ever since MB and Therrien came here, when they talk to journalist, often they do this, they repeat when they just said in one language in another language even though the following question had nothing to do with it? It feels very rehearsed and they have to follow the script.

 

[overlords]

Vincent. fkn. Lecavalier.


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.

Didn't want to play here. This has been covered.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Should have signed Gordon for 3 mill for 3 years.

I'd rather do that then trade an asset for one later during the season when we've lost most of our games because we can't kill a penalty or win a face-off.

How does Briere fill any of our needs? It doesn't address a need, then he goes on record saying you don't build your core on free agency, then his Briere signing makes even less sense.

I have a lot of forks but no knives. Better buy some more forks.

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

What? RDS doesn't do that. English radio stations don't dub him when he speaks French. TVA is a piece of ****.

 

[TT1]

bergevin saying you need to trade half your team for a player who has size + skill

 

[Coldplay]

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good *****ing.

How is Briere part of the core ?

Habs lose a bunch of games and trade a 2nd for a ****** centre to win draws, then that will suck ass. Right now signing Gordon for that would have sucked big time.

 

[Andy]

Sounds like Bergy is standing pat.

 

[PsychoticHab]

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

Yeah, basically nothing new with TSN.

 

[overlords]

On the bright side, now when people mispell Gorges as Georges it's a little closer to looking like a typo than idiocy.

 

[Gustave]

Liked Thomas. Willing to part with good player to acquire him.

 

[Habssince89]

I actually like MBs answer about the price to pay for size. It's tough. Obviously other GMs know we need it, it's pretty hard not to get bent over. Not too mention it's also hard to find a team willing to trade a reliable top6 player with size.

 

[Kents polished head]

People here are funny.

The only team who got SIGNIFICANTLY better is Detroit, adding Weiss AND Alfredsson.

Boston lost Jagr, Seguin, Peverley and Horton. Added Eriksson.
Ottawa lost Alfredsson and Silfverberg. Added Ryan and MacArthur.
Toronto lost MacArthur and Grabovski. Added Clarkson, Bolland and Bernier.
Buffalo did **** all.
TB added Filpulla, lost Lecavalier.
Florida did **** all.

We lost Ryder. Added Briere.

All in all, nobody got SIGNIFICANTLY better.

Ottawa got better offensively, but not all that dramatically.
Toronto lost some offense in detriment to physicality.
Boston lost TONS of depth.
TB might have lost offense.

 

[Coldplay]

"Thomas is not big but he's thick, competes hard. I like Christian Thomas, and what he brought. I was willing to give up a good player for Christian Thomas."

 

[S Bah]

The stress of the last couple of weeks is showing, thank god this crap's over with now back to the prospects and Sunday's game between them.

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

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.

What a terrible idea.

 

[Gustave]

Bergy unimpressed with the Talbot question...

 

[Price My Man Crush]

Ahahahaha Bergevin!

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

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

Which is true.

So he goes for players with no size and no skill left like Briere and Parros.

Didn't want to play here. This has been covered.

I don't believe a second of it. 9/3 is an awful contract offer.

 

[Andy]

"we need to trade half our team for big skilled players" -Bergevin

I didn't know Ottawa gutted half their team for talent.

 

[Coldplay]

Bergevin just shut him down LOL

 

[Kimota]

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

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

I wouldn't go that far, there's two others that made me vomit a whole more after Houle.

 

[sandysan]

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.

Matt hendricks at less Money than danny briere (1.85 for 4 years)
