ABB is great for Laval

 

[MadMslm]

Man watching RDS pump ABB up was painful.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Again, I’m going to ask the people whining here:

Which UFA signings handed out today do you wish would have been signed by the Habs instead? Again, add probably 1 or 1.5 mill per due to the Quebec taxes factor.

I’m genuinely curious.

The 1-1.5 figure is something you're completely pulling out of your ass so not sure why it should be indulged.

Two, I've said it before and I'll say it again: we can argue about this or that player until we're blue in the face and go back-and-forth on hypotheticals until October. The point that is being made by is in regards to the direction of the team. A lot of people don't think it'll be healthy for this team to finish in the basement again. The young veterans on the team also have the same concern according to Basu.

Be it a trade, an FA, martians, whatever. Something should be getting done to get the young player some help. Maybe it will happen through trade and we'll eat crow. But to only get dead silence is not a good sign.

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.

You talk to dummies LoL
Habs are doing it right
Not management's fault most players don't want to come to Quebec

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Its 2 1/2 hrs into the summer, lol.

In today’s world of instant gratification, that’s a lifetime.

 

[BaseballCoach]

It's f***ing July 1st dude lol.

The day Carey P:rice got paid his $9M bonus. Now trading him got easier.

 

[Kents polished head]

Damn you convinced me. We should have given Edmundson an extra year and $4m per.

Yeah I figured you'd actually come back with more non-sense.

 

[Habby4Life]

Most of these signings are absolutely terrible lol, it feels so good to have knowledgeable management

4 yrs for Eddy & Stammer, 6 for Tanev, etc. Really horrible contracts.

Problem with some Hab fans they have the patience of a 3 yr old. If they want to jump off the wagon, let them. There is always one team that wins the cup, they can change up every year, lol.

Finally have good management with a plan that is working.

 

[BoneHutson]

Man… If Blake spends a couple more millions on a forwards like Tarasenko (as he should, because this is not a playoffs team), that Byfield OS becomes more and more enticing…

 

[vokiel]

I hope we get that the Winnipeg guy at least. They need Ds, let them have Harris.

We won't get McGro for Harris. Remember the ask on PLD.

Brandon Duhaime @ 2 X 2.

 

[le_sean]

So you won't answer the question?

Classically daft. I see someone already shut you up about the money with your dumbass Edmundson strawman.

It’s 2:27pm July 1. Kent missed the boat. The offseason is over.

 

[Gustave]

Honest question; does his contract even matter?

The day Carey P:rice got paid his $9M bonus. Now trading him got easier.

 

[vokiel]

The Frenzy seems to be over. I don't see anyone to care about left.

Was fun, aren't we 1 vet player short for Laval?

Patience of a 3 year old is putting it lightly.

We should give another Karl Alzner contract. Get our pheromones going.

Summer started on June 21

 

[Hannibal]

Mailloux vs McG is a fair trade for both side and i would do it.

 

[yianik]

Most of the contracts today have been for term and big money. Not the type of players HUGO would be looking for this year. Short term, no more than 2 years is the kind of signing I think Hugo would look for and that is likelier in the days to come.

 

[Gustave]

[OnTheRun]

It's true. We were. We have always been and always will be every Quebecois' 2nd favorite destination.

Sarcasm aside, I seriously doubt the Habs offer was comparable to NSH. Habs offers was probably 2-3 years with a higher AAV but less money overall, which kind of matter for a 33 years old signing what is likely his last deal.

To a certain extent, yes. In off-season, can't get above 110% of the cap, will ALL contracts considered.

Has To be a way to keep the Mail and get MgG
