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

[Lebowski]

It's depth!

We might bring back Malhotra, Smolinski and Nokaleinen as well. You never know in the playoffs. Those 4th line player might come handy.

I wonder what Niklas Sundstrom is up to.

Depth!

 

[Habaneros]

Why trade for Steve Ott?

because he played with Jason Spezza

 

[ECWHSWI]

I wonder what Niklas Sundstrom is up to.

Depth!

maybe we can re-form the Juneau-Dackell-Bulis line for a PO run !

Martin Lapointe seems in very good shape, maybe he can be on a line with Danault and Byron.

 

[MaxDummy]

Forget the 6th.. Can't believe this POS will be wearing a Habs sweater..

Hell, Steve Ott + 6th for nothing and not sure I'd accept..

 

[Lebowski]

maybe we can re-form the Juneau-Dackell-Bulis line for a PO run !

Radek Bonk would be a great addition as well.

We won't have black aces for the playoffs, we'll have the whole deck of cards available.

Deeeeeeeeeepth!

 

[MaxDummy]

Need to sign Steve Bégin ASAP. Cuzplayoff

 

[Price is Wright]

Honestly think this is Bergevin way of auditioning Steve Ott for a scouting job. Needs to see how he golfs first.

 

[beowulf]

I'm at a loss for words with this one. Ott is not someone I thought this team would target as a need but I guess I am wrong...

 

[mariolemieux66]

What's next Bergevin?

John Mitchell
Jay McClement

We need depth at C am i right!?!?!?

 

[void]

Can't believe you guys are forgetting about the one and only Pierre Dagenais!

 

[LyricalLyricist]

BUT WHATS ANDREI KOSTITSYN DOING?

Sorry...I had to.

Ott isn't a bad deal by himself. I just hope with all the players on roster it's not the end of it.

 

[groovejuice]

I swear this board would freak out if we received Malkin in a trade if we gave them a 6th pick as a throw in.

HOLY **** BAD ASSET MANAGEMENT WE GAVE A 6TH PICK AWAY

To paraphrase Peter Griffin, "Malkin or a 6th? Wait a sec, that 6th could turn out to be anyone...even Malkin!"

 

[Marc-E-]

I'm not against; he's a righty and good in F.O. Depth move. Now, Time to get a top 6 player.

Nope lefty

 

[No More Subban]

Well, Ott did score a goal and an assist against the Pens last Feb 19th.

This is probably us preparing a 3rd round matchup vs Pens!

 

[G0bias]

Just. Why.

Where is the need for this guy? He is bad at everything that involves being on the ice. Another Colby Armstrong, Doug Murray type deal. Useless.

Besides the fact he's a POS.

 

[Habaneros]

I don't see no down side in this trade.....

Ott is a guy you love to hate when he's on the other team...but when he's on your side you got a guy who is well liked by all his teammates...and that is what matters most....

Ott is closing in on 900 regular season games played in the NHL...and he didn't do it the easy way....No matter what, you gotta give him props.


I'm sure Bergy will pick up another 6th round pick or better between now and next season.....

This is the thread when we got Mitchell 2 years ago.

We can see post like:

Why do we need both Mitchell and Flynn??

Why so many bottom 6 players?

We can't score and this is our help?

So many grinders!!

Same thing, different year.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would rather not do this trade
But we're not losing anything here.

I see more people freaking out of people saying they don't like Ott more than anything. Maybe I'm not reading close enough.

 

[Ezpz]

ott sucks

There's not a single poster in this thread that is mad about losing that 6th round pick.. but apparently PEOPLE are all crying about it.

 

[Habaneros]

ott sucks

From everything i read Ott has been solid for the Wings....

And all those comments are spot on.
