The real news here is Bouchard was a landlord on top of his coaching duties with the Rocket. Guy found a way to get quality tenants

I think that's a bit misleading.

He knew that either way, he was moving out of his appartment... whether he was traded or signed long term to stay!

No.



He was packed and ready not to come back to Montreal from the road trip. Now that he signed he won’t unpack since he will buy a house finally.

Guess it all depends what a team needs and asks from from their group. Our guys have been excellent, no question.

I view the penalty kill as a team stat which combines forwards, defensemen and a goalie... not just bottom 6 forwards....but everyone has a difference of opinion.

My take is that the PK success of Dvorak, Anderson, Evans and Armia has made Suzuki much fresher for offensive duties.

Evans deserves credit because he took less than he could have made as a UFA. Hughes deserves credit for standing his ground.

To put the deal in context, Jordan Greenway is about the same age, has similar or weaker production and got $4M AAV as a winger!

Great signing from Kent Hugues. I'm glad to hear that Evans lowered his expectations because he wanted to stay. It shows he believes in the group and love the city.

Olivier and Greenway, bottom 6 players and way worst than Evans, all got more!! I know Evans doesn’t bring their physicality , but he really took one for the team. Fair value was 4*3,5m$

KH & Gorton are building something special and the player's see it.

Future is bright

He spoke to ex team mates who told him, chasing money is not the way to go about it.

Toffoli lol

Toffoli lol

Toffoli did not chase money, he was sacrificed to create cap room.

But yes, Tyler and Cat loved it here and they are close with Jake.

I like retaining Jake but I really like making a push for the playoffs. Win win!

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Give him the A.

Seriously, respect to the man. It's rare that we see such a heartfelt love for our team.

Props to our little Warrior.
