No thanks, we don't need Armia.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Easy yes from Montreal

 

[Oilwings]

PoolPary for WIFI. The WIFI signals during games at Rogers Place sucks bug time.

 

[McWeber]

If Armia didn't have the extra years on his contract I would do it. Id rather have the option to walk away in the summer.

 

[Three On Zero]

Montreal accepts and disconnects the phone line, changed their number

 

[Junohockeyfan]

This is bad for Edm. Both players are bad value. The term on Armia’s contract is worse.

 

[herzausstein]

The extra years on armia's contract make this a killer for edmonton. I think the best thing about puljujarvi's current situation is that if he doesnt turn things around you can always walk away

 

[Captain97]

Giga value for the Habs, even if they don't qualify poolparty getting rid of Armia for free is a W.

Yeah. Quite frankly, i think Armia would probably be a better fit and make the Oilers a slightly better team. But those extra years on the contract pretty much make it a non-starter for Edmonton.

They can't afford to risk those extra years on what is at best, going to be a marginal upgrade. I think they'd rather just keep Puljujarvi with the option to walk away and spend elsewise in FA. Or add more to the pot to seek out an actual, more clear cut upgrade.

Oil say no easily

I hope you're thinking Bell can pay for the Wifi, cause you sure as hell bot getting Xhekaj for a 4th line winger

 

[McDNicks17]

Armia's contract is vastly worse than Pulju's.

I'm starting to think JP is elite.. he's in every trade proposal. Everyone on HF seems to want him.

NO to this offer. Still pissed about Romanov because he could've helped our blue line IMO

And you guys had nothing even close to Dach in terms of value to offer in a deal

Am I missing something here?

 

[SamHabsFan]

Armia is actually quite a good possession guy on a 4th line..problem is contract, which makes him a cap dump, so unless oilers see him as a good pick up for the playoff I dont think they should do this

 

[TheNumber4]

Armia got a 3.4M x 4 contract !? LOL. Nice try Habs.

 

[pth2]

Romanov was dealt for the 13th pick explicitly to trade it for Dach. You had neither a Dach equivalent nor a pick close to 13 to deal for Romanov....

So while you might have wanted him, there wasn't a fit there for a trade. Closest I can imagine would've been Holloway.

 

[wedge]

I'd do it as a habs fan but I don't see why the Oilers would do this unless we retain almost 50%. Armia is a cap dump, nothing more.

 

[MXD]

Habs do this and then set their VPN location to Kiribati

Montreal adds big time base on contract length.

what else would it take? how about a prospect like Norlinder

 

[SwedishFire]

Armia 25% retained for Yamamoto
