GDT: 2024 Summer Free Agency (July 1st)

[26Mats]

Who's left?

I still think we should be looking at a stop-gap top 6 winger to play with Dach on a 1 or 2 year deal, who can latter deal for a 1st or 2nd round pick.

- Duclair
- Skinner
- Terravainen (Chicago?)
- Bertuzzi (Chicago?)
- Henrique
- Tarasenko
- vrana (?)
- Pacioretty
- Olofsson
- Zucker

Some past Habs killers on that list.

It’s only the beginning w cap about to skyrocket for 25-26 season driven by Sea & Utah revenue…salary inflation is inevitable

I was expecting some spending but this is stupid spending.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I get you don't like fighting and whatnot, but toughness is apart of the game and the Habs are lacking.

I see why you're happy, though a soft team that can't win seems to be right up your alley.

what big tough players did the Habs miss out on that would've been a good signing?

 

[MadMslm]

Bruins sign Max Jones.


Habs probably getting pushed around again, so hopefully Demidov signs an extension in Russia. Maybe later the Habs will realize you need size and toughness

Crazy how soft that team is up front. They need some sand paper, it’s a long season especially on young players.

Xhekaj feeling like he has to accept all the challenges coming his way.

That’s why I wouldn’t mind someone like Martin or a big physical D to make sure they are hard to play against throughout the line up.

 

[le_sean]

Man so many whiners in this thread. We already have bloated garbage contracts and people want them to have others? Why? To maybe hope for the 2nd wildcard spot?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nobody wants to give bad deals. I don't want it. But not every deal signed today is a bad deal.

Yes they all were. At least for the Habs they would be.

Teravainen and Bertuzzi signed in Chicago and Zucker signed in Buffalo

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Trouba is available



Could use some f lying elbows

Wouldn't be against Duclair. Vrana definitely has some offensive upside, but big floater.

 

[26Mats]

I refuse to believe in a world where Edmundson gets more than 1m a year that Dvorak is impossible to trade alongside a 3rd round pick for future considerations.

I heard Edmundson played the role of a 6'5 dman well in the playoffs no? Totally different player than Dvo.

But, I do think Dvo could put up 40 to 50 points if he plays on Dach's wing all year. Then he could get us at least a 2nd at the TDL.

 

[Nicko999]

Man, this GM job is easy. No pressure, no need to sell tickets, fans happy to finish in the bottom 5 four years in a row.

I am glad Habs are staying put today. We enough bad contract ala Gallagher and Anderson. You can thank the bozo before for the mess. Until those contacts expire, not a lot the team can do.

[Scintillating10]

Not going to get anybody. Not many left.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Man even Foegele got 3 x $3.5m from LAK.

That's after signing Edmundson to 4 x $3.8m.

Holy shit, they should have just re-signed Roy.

Awful.

 

[Whitesnake]

Man so many whiners in this thread. We already have bloated garbage contracts and people want them to have others? Why? To maybe hope for the 2nd wildcard spot?

At one point though, for the sake of the kids...we will need some truculence on the bottom 6. We will have to address that at some point.

Edmundson wasnt even good for us

Newhook and Roy can be Dach's wingers. need a centre to play with them when Dach goes down.

Dubois > Kuemper Edmundson Foegele

Man, this GM job is easy. No pressure, no need to sell tickets, fans happy to finish in the bottom 5 four years in a row.

Management wasn't going to fix the team on July 1st. They still need to find a top6F willing to sign for 2 years top or work a trade for a player with very little terms.

 

[26Mats]

Wouldn't be against Duclair. Vrana definitely has some offensive upside, but big floater.

I'd really like it if Skinner took a 1 year 6M deal. See what he can do over a full season playing at the Bell Center. Not just scoring when he comes to town in a Sabres jersey.

 

[MXD]

Marchessault just said Montreal was his second favorite destination on RDS. Don't know how much true there is to it in this. Like what the new management is doing.

This is super disappointing.

The idea that we even made an offer, that is.

 

[Ezpz]

Canes getting gutted. Won't be surprised if they miss the playoffs. They really don't have a strong core it was depth and cohesion pushing them.

They might just have a worse forward line than us after today depending on if necas is still moved.

 

[salbutera]

I was expecting some spending but this is stupid spending.

All that means is owners have made / and expect to keep making stupid profits…
