GDT: 2024 Summer Free Agency (July 1st)

[Treb]

Could make a great signing for Laval.

Unless we trade guys like Perreault/Kidney away, what Laval needs is another vet, not more young guys.

They already have 12/13 forwards signed for next year.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Tufte, Leason, Jones.

You really want more big guys on our 4th line, don't you?

Pretty much.

Tufte/Leason I'd give a chance to as the 3rd forward with Dach and Newhook. If they f***ing blow it in pre-season then waive whichever is signed and put Roy there. Both would be amazing for the AHL.

Jones is an agitator the Habs could use. If they keep Pezzetta they could be an annoying forecheck team.

I'd be fine with the Habs taking a chance on Robertson and put him with Dach and Newhook.

Carrier is be fine with. He's got the bit of a pest in him, too.

The band will not becoming back together

That is insane. They are 4th liners, not top6 players.

 

[larek]

Brett Leason and Max Jones weren't given qos.

Habs better get at least one of them

Need some size I like Jones he is more aggressive than leason

He crazy.

If Josh Anderson can make $5.5 million then I could see Bertuzzi making $5 million

Physical 20-30 goals 40-60 points guys can get that easy.

100%, but this team is full of 4th liners.

It wouldn't be permanent. See how they go and then shuffle some players up.

Tyler Bertuzzi is going to be a FA. Maybe he's a good player for that spot ? Physical, skill to score, bit of an agitator, can fight, some size at 6'1 I believe.

Leason had more goals than Anderson last year

But why aren't they just signing an actual top6 player instead?

I am also more confident in Armia/Gallagher/Anderson/RHP doing a better job than Leason or Tufte there.

I'd give up cap space for Bertuzzi NOT signing in Montreal. Negative interest.

Rotation. Wouldn't be a permanent thing, unless it clicked.

Wouldn't even have to be at the start of the season. Maybe in January one of them gets put there to see?

And this is simply Habs do the abre minimum and don't add anyone with high dollars.

So, no Marchessault, Perron, Bertuzzi, Stamkos, Reinhart, etc.

If they did get one then Leason/Tufte only get top 6 time if there's massive injuries.

I haven't been impressed with his overall game ever since his last year in Detroit. He can still put the puck in the net, but he's not that player anymore.

I guess he's a good fix for a team that is looking for production in their middle six, but I wouldn't sign him longterm for what he got last year.

For a guy that is seen as an agitator, Bertuzzi really isn’t physical. He just likes to mouth off.

 

[sampollock]

Can't see the Habs will sign a UFA guy.
We see

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yeah, he doesn't hit as much as people would think, but he seems to be one of those dirt bags that only hits when there's seems to be a chance to hurt because you're in a vulnerable position, or it's borderline cheap shot.

 

[NeptunesTrident]

They need to sign a center so when Dach gets re-injured the offense isn’t solely relying on the Suzuki line. They’ll be a perennial lottery team if they don’t address it.

 

[The Great Weal]

Little surprised Utah didn't resign Hayton. I would take him, he'd be a nice fit on the 3rd line.

 

[417]

Free agency sucks, I'm happy the Habs can’t and won’t be very active

I wonder if DD could come out of retirement.

He would be the perfect fit.

Jones is completely uselsss. No interest at all

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

cmon Hugues pull another and get Rutger McGroarty

 

[crazyd74]

Bring back Monahan...that simple.

 

[Zilo44]

Bring back Monahan...that simple.

3 years or less and a reasonable cap hit. Sure especially since we know he fits this group

 

[Habs 4 Life]

If Josh Anderson can make $5.5 million then I could see Bertuzzi making $5 million

100% and I'd love to swap Anderson for Bertuzzi!!!

 

[vokiel]

cmon Hugues pull another and get Rutger McGroarty

I don't believe McGro is going anywhere.
