HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2024 Off-Season edition

[Big Lurk]

Like the Weber trade, my biggest issue with the Price contract wasn't the actual move itself but the subsequent moves made after it. It makes no sense to trade for Weber and resign Price and not go all in. You don't make either moves to enter into a retool which is what we did because Bergy didn't prioritize resigning Radulov and Markov which subsequently made the Drouin trade pointless as instead of adding Drouin to the offense, he had to makeup for the loss of Radulov which he couldn't.

Bet he bought himself a dog though

Watching the Leafs trying to assemble a roster is one of the highlights of the offseason since years. It would drive me insane as a fan.

The thing that kills me the most is they decide to drop Peabody and then turn around and sign arguably one of the worst GM's possible.
He got absolutely fleeced for the talent he traded. Compare that to what Chevy got for Dubois.

 

[morhilane]

Lefs still, with no goalie and a banged up Tanev for 6 years, incoming Jake Muzzin 2.0. Never change my friend

The rumor is 6x$5m, crazy.

Also, Robertson asked for a trade...

That's MB's dog

Think the leafs can hit a grand slam tomorrow.

Habs can give them a defenseman for Robertson.

You have made me laugh hard several times, but holy shit, this almost made me spit out my drink.

I don't think its too far off the cap percentage that lundqvist got either.

Exactly. And we should remember that once they got Drouin they played him at center and put Galchenyuk at wing.

Just unbelievably incompetent management.

The worst part of all it they ended up drafting worse than someone would following Bob McKenzie's rankings.

Bruh

That's a pathetic turn out.

 

[ReHabs]

I don't get that move. It must be forced by the owner to save money right? With the cap space they have and them not being a prime destination for UFA it makes 0 sense from a hockey perspective. They have like nobody to resign for a while outside of Byram and Tuch next summer too.

Skinner is like Drouin -- if you have a rugged playoff team you can afford to carry him and his soft playing style but for BUF and their desperate efforts to hit the playoffs they need to go the opposite direction. Skinner is actually far too soft and disengaged to be considered a playoff player. I'm a PPG-slut and even I would turn him down if he was offered to the Habs. I'd only sign him as a FA if he came at a very low cap-hit but even then, I don't think our team can afford to carry someone this soft.

That's a pathetic turn out.

It's a tropical storm preceding a hurricane...

Exactly. And we should remember that once they got Drouin they played him at center and put Galchenyuk at wing.

Just unbelievably incompetent management.

Never forget Bergevin had die-hard fans to his final day and after. There will still be commentators who will equivocate for him and his moves.

I was probably far too jaded to be fair to Hughes the last few years because of how frustrating it was to see Habs fans actually support Bergevin and his many awful moves and motivations.

84 games season is super stupid when 82 games is already too much on the player's body.

Happy 50th anniversary to the Flyers last cup.

& Cheers to 50 more

 

[LaP]

Tanev 4.5 millions AAV for 6 years is a joke. Even the Laffs fans deserve a better management.

 

[Wats]

Honestly, didn't realize how loaded the Preds prospect pool was. They rebuilt on the fly.

 

[Ezpz]

Preds doing what bergevin should have done during Price's prime. Not that they have a single price caliber player, but why not when a team as weak as Edmonton can make the finals through the west. Josi, forsberg and saros are a pretty comparable trio to subban patches and price.

This site is getting progressively worse without a doubt.
