Best singing of the day. Worst was done by Bergevin with Edmunson.

 

[JackZap]

when i see the contracts given today, this doenst seem bad at all. The bridge deal is dead.

 

[ahmedou]

Suzuki: 7.875 until 2030

Caufield: 7.850 until 2031

Slafkovsky: 7.6 until 2033

Potential steal of a deal. By year 8, we shall be laughing at how good of a deal this is.


Also, what the f*** is up with this site keep kicking out to prove I'm not a robot? Anybody else?

How about by year 3 ? Slaf is that good imo.
He will be around 24 years old, entering his prime years. It's already a steal, I can't believe he signed for less than Caufield.

I think a bridge can make sense for a team that is competitive and tight to the cap and wants to save some space to be buyers, but overall it’s a terrible way to bet on your top players.

Most likely abnormally high flux of request towards the server triggers that.

Considering the cap is also going up. If they can continue their progress we could have a cap effective team that is still very competitive.

60M for our boy

David Desharnais is waiting for his kickback for enrolling the kid when he was 9.

the Geico caveman played for the Habs?

 

[Tyson]

Best signing of the entire day league wide.

 

[jaffy27]

I

Big gamble for a guy only 50 good games. Galchenyuk scored 30 goals at 21 also. Once he got the big bucks he quit.

ya, clearly the same player lol

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

At this rate TO's core 4 will be equivalent to our core 7 lol

 

[jaffy27]

Going to be an absolute steal by year 3

Maybe even at the start of his contract, he still has 1yr left on ELC

 

[BehindTheTimes]

I

ya, clearly the same player lol

They actually have nothing in common other than they were both 20 once and played for the Habs. Lol

 

[jaffy27]

High risk, high reward contract.

He is is way too unproven to be given that contract but Hughes is banking on him continuing to develop.

It’s projection…if you wait till it’s earned you can tack on another 2mil per

 

[Habs Halifax]

Great contract overlapping prime years. He’s got 30 goals and 70 pts in him for sure. Anything north of that is gravy.

In 4 years, a top 6 player will be $8M min. It’s almost there now

 

[Tyson]

Projecting is a major piece of a management team.

 

[Rapala]

Aaah...
The Suzuki Standard Holds that is AWESOME news.

 

[SOLR]

This is officially one of the best weekends of my life.

I was ready for 4x7 because he was gonna he worth 9 in 5 years...

THANKS Slaf dude
Great work by HuGo

Suzuki cap hit strikes again LOL

More like 12-14 per year in 5 years with the cap going up.

 

[Rapala]

How can anyone attach risk to this deal. They drafted a player based on projection and personality.
That player is exactly what they saw. They are selling a vision to these guys and that vision includes having flexibility and bank on hand when we will need it most. Once again the Patrice Bergeron effect on Hughes as his agent was huge. He knows there are players who think that way and he's drafting them.
Mercenary bitches need not apply.

 

[Cournoyer12]

We get to see that goofy talented man for another 8 years

Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine any player replacing Cournoyer as my all time favorite Hab

We get to see that goofy talented man for another 8 years

I do remember calling them the Montreal Mercenaries a few times during MBs career.

 

[Rapala]

What a friggin' stark contrast to Toronto.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Glad to get this done. I think he'll be worth it but I hope HuGo (and the core) understands that in a rising cap world having everyone under 8 probably isn't going to be feasible.

Does slaf have addiction issues?
