[CristianoRonaldo]

Bye Ylonen.

 

[sampollock]

Bye bye Ylonen

??

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

??

He's not getting a QO

 

[Habby4Life]

They are letting go Ylonen

Edit: That is it? That is all there is to it?

He got a big opportunity and failed miserably.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

??

He won't get a contract from the Habs, Gorton just said that.

 

[Colezuki]

Ylonen not qualified is hilarious

 

[Adam Michaels]

No QO for Ylonen. But yes for Xhekaj and Barron.

However, not being qualified doesn't mean they won't sign him. Just to clarify that.

 

[417]

He sounded so wishy washy about it though.

Maybe intentionally?

 

[sampollock]

he says thats it and Tony still stands there.. clown

 

[Kosseca]

We're learning nothing. He's keeping the cards close to his chest.

I read that to mean that there are things brewing, which may be sensitive and for tactical reason... saying less is better. Gives me hope that something interesting may happen

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Maybe intentionally?

It better be this, and it's the impression I got.

 

[sampollock]

Ylonen not qualified is hilarious

I guess he sucks to them

 

[eklund the clown]

Too soon to push for a big name

He said a big name OLDER player which makes sense.I think we are going to see a very active draft by the Habs which includes younger players acquired through trades

 

[FrankMTL]

Thank god for that press conference, I would have been lost regarding the draft without it.

 

[417]

It better be this, and it's the impression I got.

I mean what would be gained by publicly stating whether or not they’re drafting Demidov or Russians?

 

[OnTheRun]

He won't get a contract from the Habs, Gorton just said that.

Wont get a QO, they could still sign him after that. If they want to give a 2ways deal that was the only way to proceed or maybe they are just done with him.

Jeff said they're comfortable with the information they got regarding Lindstrom's back.

 

[eklund the clown]

I guess he sucks to them

He brings a lot of nothing to the team.Time to give someone else a chance

 

[HabsCode]

I don't see what was the point of this media availability.

 

[Kosseca]

I guess he sucks to them

Well, he suck in my view too lol.

Seriously, he would have been lost on waiver anyway. may as well cut the cord now

 

[WeThreeKings]

I don't see what was the point of this media availability.

To answer questions from the media so they can do their jobs.

 

[MasterMatt25]

I don't see what was the point of this media availability.

Formality

 

[sampollock]

I don't see what was the point of this media availability.

tease the media... Get Fat Tony M to scream in his podcast and keep us guessing

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I don't see what was the point of this media availability.

To confuse the other teams...

 

[CharleyHorse]

These are the worst........you're not getting anything. Jeff is just answering questions without answering them.

Reporter: "Jeff, do you like Borscht?"

Jeff Gorton: "I mean yeah, it's a good meal. It's not something you eat very often, but from time to time it's delicious. It really depends on the time of the year, and how hungry you are, but yeah, i'm not against Borscht."

I, for one, am thoroughly dismayed he didn't coming out with a clear, categorical statement as to who they intend to pick tomorrow - I'm so disappointed with this presser
