HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2024 Off-Season edition (Mod Warning #2635)

[salbutera]

Giving him 9.5 was far from wise.

Sure it was… Most important requirement was to keep McDavid happy = staying w Oilers longterm

How would a pissed off McDavid help Edm?

It’s a shit contact, period.

they gave out a ridiculous contract that’s a boat anchor. I doubt a little negotiation would have pissed off McDavid and if it does then he is crap leader. Doubt Sid would pout over a teammates contract negotiation. Moreover, Sid and co probably discuss hometown discount which didn’t happen in this case.

Now they are screwed with Bouch because there is no chance he is taking 9.5 or even close.

It's not McDavid job to build a winning team.

The Utah Arena has a where you can’t see a portion of the ice. People who bought those tickets are aware when they purchase it and they get a big discount for it. Utah have plans in place for renovations to address it.

20$-40$. Not too bad for that price, you can still watch the game on the screen and be part of the atmosphere.

I think the Islanders had the same thing before their new arena was built

Yeah, but I think for 20$-40$ those tickets will sell. Part of the atmosphere and you can watch the game on the big screen. Not too bad for 20$.

And I never knew about the Islanders, that’s wild.

Some Islanders fans found that the view from their seats at Barclays Center was obstructed when they arrived for Friday night’s preseason game against the Devils.

It would be nice if the league would step away from Habs/Leafs basically every opening night. Leafs/Senators deserve a turn or two

Pretty sure Phoenix had a similar issue as well.

Why? You don't like starting the season with a win?

 

[HuGort]

Signing a 28 yo forward that never reached 30 pts to a 6 years contract is the most Bergevinesque move a GM could do. I don't understand.

Joe Sakic right. Imagine reasons he did it.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Nurse can’t be moved.

Everyone can be moved at the right price and retention. 2 mil retention and picks can be quite sufficient for a rebuilding team, as the more years go buy, the less there is to carry on a contract, making it more tradeable.

It would be breathe some more life in to the MTL-BOS rivalry

It will be a rivalry if we ever catch up to Boston or be nearly as impressive, competitive, or successful as Boston has been.

Maybe it'll happen soon but for the past however-many years we've been neither particularly tough, nor skilled, or interesting while Boston has been competitive, tough, skilled, and largely successful.

And of course the incompetent officials didn't give him a penalty.

And yet we still kicked their ass the last time we faced them.

Skjei’s goalscoring and overall production the last couple of years is the ultimate harbinger of the decline and fall of pro hockey

Probably more than a 9.25 millions Darnell Nurse ...

My buddy who's a Canes fan was saying the year before he was in his last year of the deal he was hoping the Canes wouldn't sign him long-term, or not too high.

Nashville did both
