Athlétique.Canadien Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Sorry about this thread. It's Canada Day and I'm going to see the firewroks. I guess if anything happens, please merge this with the actual signing thread by another poster. This almost became a thread. Maybe in time it will :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 P. Macguire said he is worried about the Habs, they could have really used ouelette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 No, we didn't need Ouellet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 No, we didn't need Ouellet. Yeah, Ryder and Kovalev line up on the right side right now... so no room really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 BE a few days before this thread see's a signing. Montreal is going to be out of it for awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird19 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 BE a few days before this thread see's a signing. Montreal is going to be out of it for awhile An extention for Mark Streit might be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 An extention for Mark Streit might be a good start. Did you hear that somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird19 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Did you hear that somewhere? No. I just think it would be a wise move. He has one year left at 600,000. If I were Bob, I'd offer him 4 over 3. Or in that range. Versatile player. Can play FW or D. Decent plus / minus as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 yeah for sure I would sign him to an extension. No, that would be stupid. I would let him play out his contract and then wait till next year. No use overpaying on a contract like Gainey has for some many others. He's not proven that he's a million dollar player yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use overpaying on a contract like Gainey has for some many others. He's not proven that he's a million dollar player yet Sorry. I can't agree with that. I don't think 1 million is overpaying for a player of his experience and flexibility. What can anyone get for a million these days ? :puke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can anyone get for a million these days ? :puke: I think it would be agood deal as well I would expect Streit to get even better this year and be worth even more than that spending more time as a defenseman.

Psycing Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 LOL... You know it's been a slow start to the UFA period for the Habs when people start debating contract extentions for Mark Streit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigRedC Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Well, Hannan is now gone, as is Drury. Is Bob going to do something, or just let this day pass by... again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Actually, you mean let it pass by and then sign an option C player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical July for the Habs. But it beats the Samsonov "blockbuster". Congrats on your post 6000 ! I'll be Moses before I get in that plateau.

The Iron Lung Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thank heavens we're not mortgaging our future with these ridiculous signings today. Yikes, how many teams crippled themselves today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giovannicanella Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi. Yes I agree with you...A lot of teams really threw in a lot of eggs in one basket... As much as I would have loved to see gomez or whatnot in a habs jersey..bob g knows that overpaying players...with inflated contracts and long term deals can have serious reprucussions...

Why haven't any of the other 31 GM's recongized that. And well Gainey was kinda saved by the rise in Salary Cap from the Kovalev, Koivu, Markov contracts. Those guys really aren't worth that kind of money. But I guess its all relative with the new Briere, Gomez, Drury, Timmonen and Rafalski contracts Edited July 2, 2007 by kaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 You know the more I read about Gainey's supposed offers...I get the feeling that it's not that he is wary of long term deals or of dishing out good money, it's just that he is unable to fork out enough to get the deals done.

He forked more then the Flyers in cash but not in years. I think he is wary on TIME. I don't blame him for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
