Confirmed Trade: [MTL/DET] Steve Ott for 6th in 2018

[Woodrow]

FO% is so overrated.. Ott is one of the worst FWDs in the league.. Well for a 6th in 2018 and the fact you just traded DD you'll get a pass from me MB.

GMs haven't figured out that faceoffs are overrated yet. It's a bad strategy to play a useless player 8 to 12 minutes a game because he wins on average almost 6 out of 10 faceoffs.

Also, oh no, you added an old player, not like they have to resign him. They gave up a 6th which is essentially nothing, and he will be gone in 2 or so months if he plays bad.

 

[Prairie Habs]

I don't know how to tell you this, but almost all NHL GMs also look at those numbers.

And how many of them fired all their pro scouts? Maybe watching games helps too?

Should be a good guy in the room too.

I don't like this trade, but I don't really think its that bad.

 

[Masked Superstar]

Burrows to the Sens and Ott to the Habs. perfect

 

[Subbaman]

**** that guy...

 

[KaseMeOutside]

His nickname is bargainbin. As someone on HFHabs mentioned though, this isn't even the bargain bin, it's dumpster diving.

Like... why Ott?!

Bargain Bob won't be outdone by Bergevin just watch

 

[Prairie Habs]

The highlight of Steve Ott's career was getting cross checked in the back of the head by Patrik Elias. I despise Ott.

Any reason you're not including this gem?

 

[Natey]

Desharnais is better than this ****.

 

[New Leaf]

Yeah and the scouts should have been watching when 75% of the goals scored when Ott was on the ice this year were for the opposing team.

 

[CupInSIX]

Great move. Been saying for a while they need a guy that can go in and bang, create some momentum and energy, they haven't had that since Prust.

 

[HuGo Sham]

man o man...gallagher, shaw and ott...my habs are loading up on craziness

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Come on, we would have given you Stafford for the same price.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

They got their center....


Ott or Duchene

 

[BatVader]

As Bargainbin said last year...
"Need to add 3rd and 4th line scoring to compensate for lack of available premium scorers."

 

[Price is Wright]

Bergevin: I got you Ott.
Julien: Oh great. More trash for the trash fire. How do I coach this team to not be a trash fire when you keep handing me trash?
Bergevin: Michel would have thanked me...

So 13 4th liners equal a 1st liner. Make so much sense now.

 

[FissionFire]

Hard to believe Ott got a 6th while Fehr is on waivers for free.

 

[TT1]

Come on, we would have given you Stafford for the same price.

They both suck, but Ott sucks at 800k, Stafford sucks at 4.3M

We need the capspace to trade for Duchene

 

[jimmyemery]

What an exciting tdl.

 

[member 105785]

In 2011 Dallas wanted Hodgson straight up for Ott, how time flies.

 

[TT1]

Gallagher: "How long have you been in the League?"

Ott: "15 years"

Gallagher: "15 years is a long time to do nothing at all"

gonna be a fun locker room

 

[hototogisu]

In 2011 Dallas wanted Hodgson straight up for Ott, how time flies.

And who would have thought Hodgson would be the retired one of the two today.

 

[Jeti]

Why not grab Fehr off waivers and get an actually useful 4th line center for free?

Cap space?
