[Le Tricolore]

I know nothing about him but hopefully he's an upgrade on the bottom pairing guys we have now.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Our GM doesn't understand hockey

 

[David Suzuki]

Just kind of seems like more of what we have?

 

[austin316]

Bergie acquiring his plug

 

[Number 57]

He's in the same mold as Edmundson/Chiarot. Big guy, defensive-minded, not much offense. Not the best skater

Not sure why we would acquire him.

 

[JoelWarlord]

Could have been worse, figured there was a bigger price move coming for Manson or something like that. Or that we'd be in on Gudbranson.

 

[Gravity]

Verbeek was good for us in the AHL

 

[badfish]

Yawn.

Problem with the whole team is they can't do zone exits.

Acquiring much of the same.

 

[austin316]

Wish this GM would try and actually improve our roster instead of the patchwork trades for 6/7 dmen

 

[cujo1117]

Lol another Bergevin’s special.

 

[Runner77]

Shutdown! Shutdown! Shutdown!

Shutdown this whole operation before more bottom feeders are added.

This is like a parting gift from Bergevin one last f*** you to the fans

 

[Maitz]

man we need a puck moving dman

Why do people quote this guy ?

Merrill sucks, might be an upgrade on Mete, but it isn't the best upgrade.

This guy also said Siegenthaler was great.

 

[ahmedou]

Get that man a barber...

 

[Habs13]

..a defensive defenceman when we need a first-pass offensive defenceman. f*** sakes this guy is so dumb.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Habs acquired Joe Dirt

 

[overlords]

So can we trade chiarot/weber/kulak now or..?

 

[26Mats]

FWIW, someone on TSN690's been talking him up. I think it's McGuire.

If he's better than Mete/Leskinen/Ouellet it makes sense. If he's better than Kulak it makes even more sense.

 

[Chili]

He's just replacing Mete. Defensive dman, decent depth player.

Apparently the Bruins were one of the teams also interested.

 

[David Suzuki]

Why do people quote this guy ?

because they choose to
