It’s almost as if they’d like to have cap space to re-sign Slafkovsky and Guhle.
Yeah lots of reasonably priced one year deals handed out todayHow much do you think they'll cost? Nor have their contracts coming up this summer? More money will be freed up next year. If you're suggesting that the Habs don't have the coins to make moves this summer that's dumb as f***.
I think the last point you make is already happening. I'm 32 years old and it really feels like people my age and younger don't give a f*** about the Canadiens and haven't given a f*** about them in a long time besides the Cup run.
Whenever I'm shooting the shit with people my age it's always about NBA/NFL/European soccer than the NHL. I've certainly had a ton more fun following the Ravens (I have no ties to Baltimore) than the Canadiens for a while now. I'm going to fly there for a game this year. Unless my nephew wants to catch a game I have little incentive to actually go to the Bell Center. And even the IRL friends I used to follow the Habs with have all fallen off when it comes to Habs talk because of a combination of they suck/they're not fun to follow and my time is more limited than it used to be so I'll do something else.
Or 2 year deals.Yeah lots of reasonably priced one year deals handed out today
Its 2 1/2 hrs into the summer, lol.How much do you think they'll cost? Nor have their contracts coming up this summer? More money will be freed up next year. If you're suggesting that the Habs don't have the coins to make moves this summer that's dumb as f***.
Good for our pick next year in case Calagary falls into the top tenSo who have Florida lost and added today? Hopefully after back to back cup final runs and losing some depth they take a good sized step back next season.
Even older folks don't give a f*** anymore. These guys saw Stanley Cup in Montreal, they only care about playoff hockey. Most of the 40+ folks I talk to don't get the "rebuilding" mentally, think it is complete BS.I think the last point you make is already happening. I'm 32 years old and it really feels like people my age and younger don't give a f*** about the Canadiens and haven't given a f*** about them in a long time besides the Cup run. They def feel like an old people hobby and a habit more than anything else.

That’s total BS. Half of the people on this board have been rooting for this team to deliberately lose every game the last three years, and then telling those of us who actually root for our favorite team to win each night that we are idiots who don’t see the big picture and all that nonsense.
If you can’t find watching Suzuki and Caufield and Slaf and those guys fun to follow you’re probably right it’s probably time to find something else to watch.
Signing a bunch of plugs at 4x4 just so the team can make news today because some fans feel left out is just silly.
Chicago also need to speed up their rebuild with Bedard entering the 2nd year of his ELC and much more cap space.
Had Bergevin not handcuffed us with Anderson, Gallagher, and Dvorak taking up a combined 16.5mil (Almost 20% of our cap space), Kent would have more room to work with and be aggressive.
It's true. We were. We have always been and always will be every Quebecois' 2nd favorite destination.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.
Sportsnet feed alot more neutral. Haven't heard much fig talk at allHate following TSN on UFA day, they are wetting their pants on figs

Yeah I’m the one that’s daft here. Crying like a baby two hours into free agency.Are you being purposefully daft or are you not expecting money to come off the books next summer?
Finding the money to improve and re-sign Slaf/Guhle is not remotely a problem.
Also, not gone, but Reinhart season was SUCH an outlier that f he reverts back to his career average it’s as if they lose an entire 30 goal scorer as well. 67 goals hahaMontour, Ekman-Larsson, Lomberg, Stolarz are gone.
It’s almost as if they’d like to have cap space to re-sign Slafkovsky and Guhle.
Literally a tax accountant could do it in a minute, you take the average tax across the entire league, then each team gets a credit or a deduct from the cap. When it was just Canadian teams it wasnt a problem but now that the northern us teams are getting screwed it’ll be a bigger problem. Especially when those southern us teams also get transfers from the rich northern teams. You better believe the owners are going to be bitching about it soon
ould I
Not sure when he's scheduled to talk, but Kent might as well talk now and go back to waiting for people to pay the price for the Habs meh dmen
Damn you convinced me. We should have given Edmundson an extra year and $4m per.They have 20M in cap space. Armia, Dvorak and Savard are gone next summer. AND the salary cap is still bound to increase by another 4 or 5M.
That's like 35-40M in cap space almost exclusively for this.
One of those guys has had ONE good half-season and the other one is a second pair D.
This is a non-argument.
