Confirmed with Link: [MTL/DET] Habs acquire Steve Ott from Detroit for 6th in 2018

[Andrei79]

did i mention Andrei79 or "many posters"?

Every time, and I mean every time Bergevin aquires a player, I have to read through wave after wave of posts on how horrible the player is, how dumb the GM is, how we gave too much, how we should've got this player instead, how it's a foxhole move.........

Yet more often then not, the player is decent, plays well, ends up playing well over his head. Bergevin has more often then not, won his trades.

Good for you man, if you hate opinions on a board where you have 7600 posts then that's on you.

I don't care about being right or wrong and I don't care if you or any other poster don't share my opinion as it's entirely your right to have a different view on things.

Mine, in this instance, is that Ott is barely an NHL player, based on what I've seen and the stats that support it, and that, despite the fact you saw other posters bashing Benn, since you seem to think those two things are related.

It's a move that brings little to a team that relies entirely on Price to win.

Always hated OTT but I think he could be usefull on the PK and when we need to win a defensive draw. The guy is a rat and can throw off the other players off their game but he can also take stupid penalties like the one he did vs us in November.
It's a double edge sword.

Seeing how much guys like McCarron acted like wussies last night, it's time to put Ott and that Colorado guy in the line-up.

Cody Mcleod is not someone you want Michael McCarron fighting.....He would be hanging on for dear life.

 

[Gomez91]

I'd rather see them sitting in the 4th row.

Personally I think you will eat those words speaking for Ott if he was truly useless he wouldn't have a spot in the NHL he would be playing in Russia now instead of Detroit/Montreal his value will out weight the criticism. I for one like most others posting on HF feel lack of top line scoring is a true need more so then 4th liners but 4th liners were foremost up front in this deadline MG I think needed to make these trades to help. Ben and King sure helped against the Preds thus far don't see why Ott won't help in the future when called upon. He still has value if not in Montreal Unrestricted in July he will play another year in the NHL.

It's easy to look at McCarron's height and expect him to be your enforcer. I mean, it's wrong. But it's easy.

 

[Gomez91]

Then maybe he has no spot on the team? Not good enough yet to occupy a spot on the top lines or play a physical game against the likes of Cody Mcleod the problem with Montreal is too many players take spots just to fill them not because there capable to hold up against opponents that is because the guy drafting TT is guessing and not filling the requirements or needs. MB won't have to go out at the deadline every year and find a band aid for TT's mistakes.

This is either brillant irony or a complete inability to see another point fo view.

King made it easy felt he handled his own out there wasn't drafted by Montreal?

Well all im saying is Big M don't need to be stretchered off the ice wasting his time on Cody Mcleod....His role is not to get beat on but to crash and bang the corners and get to the front of the net..........hard to do that when your sitting in the stands with a concussion..........Geeze wheres big bad Jared Tinordi???

He was at practice today practicing faceoffs with non other than Alex Galchenyuk......I understand that he's not gonna be the difference maker, but every player can bring something, especially seasoned vets. He also came on the recommendation of Kirk Muller for whatever that's worth....

His role is to play on the 3rd or 4th line that is suppose to be crash and bang in the corners and in front of the net

Where is Jared Tinordi? With all the wasted picks Tim T made on the scrap pile!

 

[Team_Spirit]

The majority of the HFFanbase dosen't like Ott and think he's terrible so they share their opinion on the trade = this place is toxic cry cry cry call 911

get real

 

[OnceWasNot]

One of the worst players in the NHL, but at least they didn't give up much for him.

i think the word moumoune would be much appropriate... often it is better in english, but moumoune in that case is great

 

[atrud66]

0 divided by 0 = 0.

Gave up nothing and got nothing in return.

Undefined

 

[Stoneburg]

Ott is very good on the PK and at face-offs and all we gave up was a 6th, so a player that had close to zero chance in making the NHL.

When you give up next to nothing, you get next to nothing.

Its weird, it says this was posted today but it was clearly meant to be posted in the 70's...

Tim T.......so you call him was forced into that pick because the goat wanted JT and moved up the draft to get him.

 

[Gomez91]

Whether in the 70's as you say or now I never played or should I say wanted to play on a team a specific teammate never knew his role which I am still waiting to see Mikes spot in Montreal. In your mind were is Mike's spot or capabilities with the Canadians?

It doesn't hide his glaring empty cupboard of other failed draft picks Tinordi is just one of many.

Are you in the right forum??

get real

Benn, Weber, Radulov, etc. were trashed also when they got signed/traded by a lot of HFFanbase.

They suck right?

I don't think there was much trashing on Radulov. Lots of concern that he and MT wouldn't mesh but I'd imagine consensus was finally a legit top 6 forward.

Weber was "trashed" inasmuch as people thought the price to acquire him was too high. Even the most ardent Subban defenders acknowledged Weber was good, lots of people just felt Subban was better/will remain elite longer or disliked the fact he was traded to appease a ****** coach.

But this is a message board for opinions. The corrolary to your concern is that there were people here who defended the Briere signing to the death and those of us who hated the signing were proven right. Made for lots of threads spilling lots of digitial 1s and 0s.
