Player Discussion John Merrill: a.k.a. Joe Dirt, a.k.a. Letterkenny Extra Edition

[26Mats]

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

On Monday we could see no kulak or Mete:

____ Weber
Edmundson Petry
Merrill Romanov

 

[overlords]

Habs acquired Joe Dirt

He thinks he's getting strapped to a rocket but he's really attached to a septic tank

 

[David Suzuki]

Wonder if he'll be this years Steve Ott or Dwight King

 

[417]

Just kind of seems like more of what we have?

Very good skater from what I can remember but not much offense.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

At least his plus/minus is good compared to his teammates on a trash red wings team. Could be worse

 

[austin316]

When will our organization learn that we need puck movers and offensive dmen who can be a threat? We must acquire the most offensively inept dmen/forwards in the entire league. Sick of it.

 

[The Great Weal]

I'm dancing in the streets naked, we got a guy with 12 goals in his career. Who needs Dunn to give us something we have been lacking for years now?

 

[Dichow Stopper]

I don’t hate it, but it’s solve nothing. We still badly need a very different kind of defenseman...

 

[Adam Michaels]

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.

Merrill has almost 400 years of NHL games under his belt. More than Mete, Ouellet & Leskinen combined.

 

[Wats]

When I saw Merrill having interest I just knew it'd be Bergevin.

Montour > Merrill/Staal and costed less

After a good offseason, Bergevin not following up well. Why do the keep getting fringe LD.

 

[David Suzuki]

Very good skater from what I can remember but not much offense.

Wouldn't have been a terrible pick up if we didn't have Edmundson lol

 

[nhlfan9191]

This years Jordie Benn.

 

[dinodebino]

Pezzetta's bro/cousin/both!

 

[eklund the clown]

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.

Well thats an easy answer.Our Gm is an idiot.Same old same old.Please show this guy the door.We should be selling not aquiring more scrubs

 

[1909]

We won't see him before a couple of weeks, anyway !

 

[morhilane]

It was a bottom RD MB needed to acquire if he was to acquire a bottom pairing D, not another defensive LD.

I'm starting to think MB can't even tell the right from his left at this point.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Loading up on UFAs.

 

[Habs13]

Cap hit is $925k

 

[habdynasty]

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.

tell us all about him, never heard of him.

 

[417]

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.

He's alot like Kulak actually... except probably a bit better in his own end.

 

[1909]

Well thats an easy answer.Our Gm is an idiot.Same old same old.Please show this guy the door.We should be selling not aquiring more scrubs

At least, he is a real d-man.... not like Mete.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Looks like Riggs in Lethal Weapon.
Welcome into the Habs family Jon !

 

[Kriss E]

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

No it doesn't. We need a top D not some stay at home plug who's better than Kulak.

 

[Barilko]

What Playoffs

 

[Fazkovsky]

It not that bad
