I really expected a team stuck with the injury bug taking a flier on him.

Wow, some people don't understand.

Sekac/Andrighetto are nothing players. It's not 'bad', they are not good enough to be NHL regulars and they will play in europe soon. (Sekac is already there)

No I understand totally. It was a sarcastic remark. We have a clan of posters that criticize every move MB makes, this was one of them.

And here we go again. :shakehead

I guess it makes you feel better.

He's absolutely right. :laugh:

Every year there's countless embarrassing proposals. This guy can't be traded, that guy can't be waived. They're all potential 2nd liners at least.

I'm pretty sure the average Montreal fan is a hoarder because they obssess over junk.

When the man makes questionable moves time and time again, it leaves folks to question what he does...

The only two that would qualify as questionable in his entire tenure are:

1. Keeping MT
2. Trading PK.


Jury is out on #2 yet, as much as HF would like to believe otherwise.

He doesn't do questionable moves (my opinion). I never liked Subban. You cannot win with a guy scoring a goal and costing you one in the same game. He's not a game breaker.

And Sekac, Smith-Pelly, Andrighetto are nothing players. I don't understand why some people don't see it.

Surprised Buffalo didn't claim him TBH, with their injuries I thought he'd be useful for them in the short term

Some do my man. They're just severely outnumbered around here. I do like to rub it in when they are wrong just because they complain so obnoxiously.

Good news.

At the very least he'll be a huge +++ with the kids in the A.

I still see an NHL'er in Sven not sure if it'll be in MTL though.

My issue is that it's not even remotely reasonable to characterize an entire fan base. We all want to do it and believe it's true, but it's simply not.

Any statement that begins with "team X's fans..." is automatically ignorant.

Kinda disappointed he wasn't claimed. I'm a habs fan and I see this guy as being not good enough for top 6 duties but doesn't fit the mold of a bottom 6 player either. People are saying, "how could they keep Flynn over this guy". They are 2 completely different players with different roles. For sure Sven is more talented, but he is useless on a 4th line....

Gonna quote myself:
The problem is that he is not better than Gallagher, Radulov and Shaw on the RW and not better than Pacioretty, Lehkonen and Carr on the LW.

The 4th line not being a good place for him, he may be out of a spot next year too if Radulov re-sign (long term if Carr and Lehkonen stays too which they should as they will be RFA).

We might be better keeping in the AHL so he can rip it up and trade him in a package for an upgrade either at D (Emelin) or at C (DD) when the times come.
