My concern is the concussion. Is it healed? Do you want to do a long term deal with an injured player?
Considering Alzner can't open jars, I'd assume bergevin doesn't think it's an issue.

Or maybe this is why he has not been re signed yet?Considering Alzner can't open jars, I'd assume bergevin doesn't think it's an issue.
Judging from all his pictures of him travelling and doing things, it seems so, but ya never know I guess.My concern is the concussion. Is it healed? Do you want to do a long term deal with an injured player?
How about resigning Radulov for that 7 million he wanted...
We still would've had 5 million to spend, and have a legit 1st liner on our team.
Oh well, another year of Byron Froese
Habs will never learn...this was the same deal that made Josh G a 4 million dollar man.,......same type of deal that took Plekenac who was asking for 5 x $3.5 million...and turn him into a 6.5 million dollar man ....Same thinking that made Subban way more money ..
Another burn comin...
Unless Armia doesnt want to be in Montreal long term and maybe that might be why the 1 year deal...then 1 more next year then go UFA get out of town ...but why a 1 year deal?
Yes, you are right! If this 16th overall 6'3 right winger who plays good defence & can score doesn't gel with a brand new team within 40 games we should trade him. This is how you build winners.
If my GM's plan of building a winner revolves around a 25 year old 3rd liner or considers his career high 12 goals as someone who can "score", I honestly would just want him fired.
More seriously though, I like Armia, I've said so a few times. I liked him before playing for the Jets and I followed Winnipeg quite a bit the past 2 years and he's someone I didn't think we'd get for so cheap a cap dump. And, I'd have been happy with a 4 year deal around 2.5-3M, but I'm not sure either party wanted to go that way. And looking at it that way, I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at anyone in the lineup who could potentially be trade baits this year. We have plenty of wingers already and if Armia, for any reason, isn't worth the price at the TDL and the offer's worth it, why not ? Say he paces for 25 goals and wants a 5 year 25M$ deal, I wouldn't hold off on a trade getting us a 1st+futures if it's available.
It's all hypothesis, but this is a message board, discussing things is the whole point of it.
This is all very well said, tbh I'm just salty these days and want to remain positive about this team, although it's nigh impossible. I do hope Armia works out.
He shouldn't spend money just for the sake of spending it. That's how you get another Alzner situation.
They **** up the long term contracts too though. Look at Shaw. This management group just sucks at contracts.
lol..Marc Andre Fleury just signed for 7 million a year..will pay Pricer 15 million this year and 15 million next year
If Evander Kane is worth 7x7 and Couture is worth 8x8 then Radulov is worth 7x6Radulov was not worth 7-7.5m for 6 years lmao

I think he just meant that its better to have that option to deal him rather than lock him in for 4 years right off the bat. No need to get snarky with him.
Montreal offered that. Radulov wanted tax relief. Blame him instead.How about resigning Radulov for that 7 million he wanted...

2 years would be stupid. Then he walks for free if he wants to.1 year deals are stupid. Buy 2 years, you just might get some good value. Buy 1 you pay market price for the next one.
If a player doesn't want to play for a team and is two years away from free agency then he goes for the 2 year contract. The one year contract tells me he wants to be a Hab and wants a long term deal once he has proven his worth. 2 year deal is worst case scenario.Habs will never learn...this was the same deal that made Josh G a 4 million dollar man.,......same type of deal that took Plekenac who was asking for 5 x $3.5 million...and turn him into a 6.5 million dollar man ....Same thinking that made Subban way more money ..

Re-reading my post I think I'm equally as guilty. All good, hope you're keeping cool!Honestly you're right, I fessed up to just being salty about this team in general lately and snippy. Might also be my 60 hour work week and these 35 degree days.
Sorry, board!
He shouldn't spend money just for the sake of spending it. That's how you get another Alzner situation.
In very different conferences and divisions. Anyways an ok signing I guess but being one year means closer to being a UFA...might cost more to sign him into the UFA years if he has a good season.Of course, cause if we had Radulov, we’d be winning the cup........
Even with Radulov the Stars couldn’t even make the playoffs on a stacked team
I don't think Armia will become anything more than a third liner. He won't be worth more than 4 million a year in the future.Habs will never learn...this was the same deal that made Josh G a 4 million dollar man.,......same type of deal that took Plekenac who was asking for 5 x $3.5 million...and turn him into a 6.5 million dollar man ....Same thinking that made Subban way more money ..
