Hope the Habs don't aim for retribution or something this season

Wifi will be frothing at the mouth, our big guys better keep their heads up

Boston probably trades Swayman now

Good on Gross for stepping up

Things keep getting worse for Sweeney.

Should have taken a few notes from Lou and just kept things quite

Leafs should trade for him.

It's nice seeing another rival team struggle to get a good player locked up to a fair deal. They will probably figure it out soon but right now, can't say I don't love every second of it.

Lewis Gross is something else.

Seems like a possibility now if Gross is telling the truth. Boston just pretty much handcuffed themselves into offering at least 8x8, and if they weren't offering that before Swayman might not even accept it anymore.

Patrik Laine's test results are officially in for the Canadiens, and the news is not good following the hit from Leafs' Cedric Pare.​

During Saturday's clash between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens from The Bell Centre in Montreal, Leafs forward Cedric Pare attempted to complete a check on Laine as the Finnish forward was surging into the offensive zone with the puck.

This is really terrible. I was actually looking forward to Laine being on the habs and was going to pick him in my pool and of course trolling habs fans on twitter. This really SUCKS!

Just to nitpick, the tweet says “at least the rest of 2024” which is 3 months. The 2024-2025 season is 7 months, plus playoffs. So which is it, or maybe they don’t know yet.

It just keeps getting better and better LMAO

Tony Marinaro... and I have no idea if he's reliable, said on his podcast that Laine is 5-6 months, and Reinbacher 4-5 months, both with knee injuries.

There is no official word from the Habs at all at this point. Maybe tomorrow?

I’ve always been vocal on how well Bruins seem to manage their roster. Welp I’m happily gonna eat crow on this one. And hopefully this isn’t the only tough signing they have

Feel for both of those players. That sucks.

But as for the Habs fortunes, I laugh.

They run a tight ship, this seems like a big anomaly. Then again they have not been shy about moving guys who don’t fit their culture (Kessel, Seguin, Hamilton)… maybe Swayman is next

That decision probably should have been made before they unloaded Ullmark for cheap...

You wanna make sure you get above market value on your contract? Get Lewis Gross as your agent.

I mean... that's his job, so I guess he's doing a good job for his clients??? Maybe teams could start avoiding drafting his clients going forward though??

No guarantee they won't be represented by Gross in the future. Players have switched agents right before their ELC ends. Or even mid-way through their career especially when they are doing well and are looking for a good pay day when their current contract's about to end.

Marinaro is a hot take artist who you used to have his own show on TSN radio after being a theatric frequent caller to Montreal sports radio shows.
From what I remember he has been hit and miss on his “inside scoops” loud and frequently silly.
Recently teamed up with delusional Hab super supporter Grant McCagg on a completely unintentionally hilarious Hab podcast.
Not really credible imo

This is spectacular, opening night is three days away, they shipped the lesser but still adequate option out for chi chi beans and now they're looking at running Korpisalo.

And I think Sway should take 8 mil but not for 8 years. I want him to take 10 and tank their cap, or force himself out and leave them holding their dicks.

It's amateur hour shit to not have gotten a sense of his number before shipping out his boy.

It’s up to the teams to keep their cap in order. It’s not Gross’ fault that Nylander got overpaid - that blame belongs to Treliving.

The original says "rest of 2024". The person reposting it either didn't read it right or exaggerated for effect.

Just nitpicking, but he doesn't say what the offer was, just that it was less than 64. For all we know it could have been 7.9x8.

How many years before Swayman can be UFA?

Xjake (sp) jumping Pare from behind and punching him in the back of the head multiple times should be enough, considering if one of those punches landed flush he could've easily brain damaged him for life
