dlbalr Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just now, DON said: Why isn't Vegas? Is he another overhyped euro? It's a bit of a double-edged sword. He's a victim of being waiver exempt and their unwillingness to waive anyone but at the same time, he hasn't played particularly well in the games he has played, especially not to the point where he's really forcing their hand to keep him up. I think they'd like him to go to the AHL for a few weeks and get into a bit of a rhythm down there but he's 30 and didn't leave the KHL (and a near-guaranteed Olympic spot) to play in the minors.

If I recall correctly, you were not too fond of Dadonov but seemed to think Shipanov should help Habs eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're partially right. I wasn't a big fan of Dadonov but I also wasn't calling for them to sign Shipachyov either as I had doubts that he could be a top-six guy (and didn't want the Habs to pay top-six money for someone who might only be a third line centre).

But the second year is a concern. If he doesn't pan out, his contract is already looking like one that could be bought out in the summer and I don't want that on the books when they're going to have to try to add another impact forward or two as it is next offseason.

Commandant Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I stilk think he can play. I mean vegas has given him three games at limited ice time. He even scored a goal. The issue of being in the ahl is all about mcphee not wanting to waive anyone and wait for.deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he'd love to be back with the Habs. Good Ol' Bergevin wanted/wants no part. Gotta be a Bergy butt buddy to get on this team.

Radulov didn't take It, indicating he didn't want to be on the team. I don't see why anyone is bent out of shape about him not resigning. And Sergachev was traded for our #1 center who is also performing admirably. I don't see the issue with that trade either, as the intent was to have both Drouin and Radulov.

Yes his intent was good but MB failed and now he is a GM of one of the worst teams in the league and with Price injured I dont see things getting better unless MB has alot of luck and Lindgren will be a surprise. Fire him already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 It sounds like a Duchene deal was nearly done that would have seen him go to Ottawa, Turris to Nashville, and a whole bunch of futures to Colorado but it ultimately fell through. I wonder if that coming out publicly might help expedite things a little bit (and what will that do to the ongoing extension talks between the Sens and Turris?).

Bergevin let a top line player walk over a million dollars over the next 6 years, when we have 8 million in cap space... That's why people are bent out of shape. Or maybe the fact we sign Karl Alzner to 5 years; when that money could have went to GOAL scoring, instead of a dump in. I remember saying it many times last year; Radulov was the engine that drove this offense. Basically the only forward that showed up in the playoffs too.

I remember saying it many times last year; Radulov was the engine that drove this offense. Basically the only forward that showed up in the playoffs too. Just because Stogey from Habsworld said that Radulov drove the offense doesn't mean Bergevin should have paid him over 7 million per year for the next 6 years. He gave him a better than market value deal but Radulov chased the tax free savings in Texas. Bergevin didn't "let a top line player walk", the top line player left. The real issue here is that in a salary cap world, certain cities are at a disadvantage due to taxes. Managers shouldn't be vilified because of that.

No, by 'people' you refer to a specific group who have whined about Bergevin's every move for years, the cynics were there in full force before July of this year. Whereas many non HabFans see as smart to not pay that price for him, let alone offer more than Dallas. But, team does miss his offense at this point.
