Neat. Never know he could carve out a Jalen Chatfield type of role. Good luck to the young man.

Montgomery, Legault and Nikishin years from now would be quite a physical group of defensemen.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Montgomery going to have to get his skating up to work this system

 

[Lempo]

Wait, who's he related to?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Sure, why not?

Entertainment world: Robert and Elizabeth Montgomery

Jim Montgomery's son, obviously.

Very specific salary, magic number within 3$ to max out the LTIR. Will be sent down before our first game, right? And get his AHL salary from that time on… Anyone understands why they included the 1M$ performance bonus that he will most definitely not obtain?

He gets the maximum ELC salary of $950k, but the max allowed 10 percent or $95k is paid as signing bonus, so his official base salary is $855k. If that 854something is legit amount, there's probably some $20 type of joke in the play. I won't do the maths, I got a migraine.

The $1M performance bonus is the new $850k, so the maximum allowed individually negotiated ELC Schedule A performance bonus. He's prolly an ok individual negotiator.

Btw I don't think the current numbers on puckpedia are the correct final ones. Might be some of those numbers are placeholders until the actual details clear out. The lack of signing bonus for a rookie in need of money to settle himself down in his team's town is nonsensical.

Also, f*** you Washington Capitals.

Honestly surprised by this as he never really seemed to have any standout traits?

Ahem

Word is he has one trait many a man would be jealous of

I haven't caught any of the preseason this year, but I seem to remember him being one of the few guys willing to really throw his weight around in the preseason last year. Could be an intriguing add to the defense in a few years.

I don’t think I recall hearing about this guy before, but he is from DC, that is pretty cool.

 

[A Star is Burns]

He was always thought to be a project. If they still like some of the tools, worth a contract.

Exactly. At worse, he's another body in Chicago. (That could be phrased better.) At best, he figures stuff out and becomes a legit bottom-pair guy.

Feel like we've had a few before. Austin Levi? Kevyn Adams was born there

Montgomery Ward.

Dundon’s looking for a minority owner.

I remember a Montgomery Ward store in my town as a kid. Went out of business in the late 70s or early 80s IIRC. I also remember my dad complaining at Christmas because Sears, Montgomery Ward, and JC Penny all had thick catalogs and he was a mailman that had to deliver them.

I wondered what happened to Wards and when I googled it, I was surprised to see that it is still operating as an online retailer. It's clearly not the same company the name/trademarks were sold off, but I never knew there was a Montgomery Ward as an online retailer.
