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

[Talks to Goalposts]

Flynn has nos business in the lineup.

Yet Flynn is leagues more effective than the 2017 version of Steve Ott.

Ott wouldn't be worth picking up on waivers at this point, takes a roster spot from a viable player, even if that player is Flynn.

 

[HBDay]

Jesus ****ing Christ people did we just trade galchenyuk? It's 6th rounder in the **** draft And otts among the best face off men in the league. Calm your ****

Why did you censor 'the 2018 draft'

Is 2018 a bad word. in fact your other curse is strange as well calm your four letter word? What could it be. Jesus I'm so curious now.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Just another depth move. Nothing to write home about. But I think Bergevin is looking to make the Habs a much tougher team with the acquisitions of Benn and Ott. Ott is only at 800K ad is a UFA this summer. Nothing handcuffing.

We do need a more important trade.

 

[SB164]

Ott is legitimately one of the worst forwards in the NHL. He's an offensive black hole and a tire fire defensively. This trade is trash. Its the forward version of the Murray trade from a few years back. Yuck.

How many Detroit Red Wings games have you seen this season exactly?

 

[No More Subban]

Ott once licked Jeff Halpern's visor.



Yeah I know it's weird af..

 

[Clumsyhab]

Is Matt Cooke still playing?

 

[David Suzuki]

I have never watched the Red Wings play but I can tell you he is the worst player to ever play in the nhl because hf boards dot com told me

 

[hototogisu]

I think you're mistaken.

Drewiske was acquired in like April and he played 9 games to end the season. He didn't play playoffs though. He was extended but suffered injury.

Mistaken how? He was acquired the day before the trade deadline. Exactly like Ott. And he played a few games to end the season and didn't play in the playoffs. Which is exactly what I said might well happen with Ott.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

we found our guy to put in front of the net for the power play....during practices....when Weber shoots....and there is no goalie...or any other player.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Okay well, whatever...

 

[HBDay]

Holly **** the overreaction again! Wtf is wrong with people?

Bro, Chill. Some people are just super excited.

Here this was my first response on this trade. \/\/\/

Cool, Steve Ott. Didn't see that coming.

Does that chill you out? Cause that is literally how chill I was when I heard the news.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

This team hasn't had a legit crazy person since Whitey left so he fills that need at the very least .

 

[Jabba11]

BargainBin strikes again!

 

[void]

Maybe they intend on using him as a faceoff coach. I mean, there's no way they actually plan on using him as a player.. Right?

 

[HBDay]

Okay well, whatever...

See Belial another super chill reaction.

 

[Goldenhands]

I think Bergevin is preparing something big for tommorrow..

 

[Kenny Powders]

I love it. People are ******** on this trade and completly forgets that we have a centerman that hasnt scored in 35 games and can't win a faceoff to save his life. Plus we had some grit to our lineup for the playoffs instead of a weak ass Mitchell or Flynn

 

[SB164]

Holly **** the overreaction again! Wtf is wrong with people?

Bob McKenzie didn't call HFBoards a bunch of ass clowns for nothing.

 

[David Suzuki]

I think Bergevin is preparing something big for tommorrow..

Matty D

 

[Belial]

See Belial another super chill reaction.

What's your point exactly? A couple of level-headed posts in 5 pages?

I'm chill as a cucumber too brah.

 

[CrazyShea]

Please sign Sean Avery

 

[Miller Time]

Meh... makes the 4th line grittier... if he is good enough to play over ghetto/Carr/Flynn/mccarron

Bargainbin adding to his career collection of long past due depth aquisitions. Reeks of a "for the sake of saying I did something" kind of move. As little value as the 6th had, overall MB's asset management stinks.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Mistaken how? He was acquired the day before the trade deadline. Exactly like Ott. And he played a few games to end the season and didn't play in the playoffs. Which is exactly what I said might well happen with Ott.

Mitchell, Flynn all played regularly(still do).

Drewiske played first 9 games he came, out of 13 left. I can't recall if someone else came back from injury or something to cut his ice time or if he didn't do enough.

I just don't see Ott being scratched more than half the time. I think McCarron might sit instead on occasion.
