Tatar, you're up next lol
Nor should there be at this point in time.
With the emergence of the 2 young centers, and Danault producing as a marginal 2c even when given the best wingers the teams been able to offer for 3 straight years, and the fact he shined as a 3c when placed there in the playoffs
You let the year unfold, and re-asses at about 60% through the season, we will know for SURE if we HAVE to re-sign Danault, gallagher ... lets face it Tatar is walking thanks for a couple highlights
Its so clear to me after the Toffoli signging it changed EVERYTHING for bergevin, as a GM you simply cant "oh its in the bag" with a signature like Toffoli, its an honest to god pleasant surprise, for us AND for bergevin, a player like that could easily just say "no"
But he didnt, so that changes the ENTIRE complexity of the team roster wise AND financially, and now all of a sudden a couple habs who thought they were going to be SET for life and habs for significant term now have to get off this pedestal they believe they are on now, and either accept slightly less cash to stay and help the team or BUH BYE, hopefully get something decent in a trade
I really couldnt be prouder of bergevin for not having made his #1 priority this season re-signing Gallagher Danault and Tatar to brutal higher than they deserve probably too long contracts.
It just makes me picture a wheel spinning in mud.
