    Not yet officially matched.  Carolina indicated they'll wait until the last moments to match just to try to make it trickier for Montreal to make other moves.  (For example, if they want to trade one of those picks, they can't until Monday when the Hurricanes officially match.)

     

    They ARE a bunch of jerks!

    They have 8 million in cap space. 

     

    Once you factor in the savings from the players that will be sent to Laval, the cap space is much closer to what Commandant stated.

  3. Sigh.  I guess we'll have to hope we can get a 1st pairing LD via trade, cuz this sure isn't it.  I can't say that I know much about Chiarot, but most seem to think he'll complement Petry quite well, and is an upgrade on Benn.

     

    But, we need more than an upgrade on Benn FFS!

    Come come. Bergevin was a plumber. Carbo was an artisan, a cerebral master who controlled games with his defensive excellence. We're not talking about Nate Thompson here.

     

    Hahaha I don't think that even the biggest of MB's fans are that deluded.  But Bergeron might be a legit consideration, with his Selkes, Cup ring and International successes.

    It'd be nice, but I still think the likeliest outcome is that Bergevin does nothing to address LD other than dumpster-diving and patch-ups.He'll just shrug and say the price is too high. Or that we have an internal answer coming (eventually) in Romanov. Or whatever. This would fit his established pattern when it comes to dealing (or rather, not dealing) with glaring roster holes. 

     

    You're probably right, but I think that since MB's job might actually be on the line if MTL misses the playoffs, we might see something different this time around.

    If not him, then who? This team seriously needs a top-4 LD - preferably a top-pairing guy. I suggested Karlsson even though he is RD as another possibility for enhancing the backend, but a lot of people don't want him either. I'd like to hear some realistic scenarios for solving the structural problem on D.

     

    If we're lucky enough to get Gardiner, we have to acknowledge that a) he'll be overpaid, and b) he won't be the perfect solution to our defense woes.  That being said, he'd absolutely improve our Top 4 and shore up the left side.  I can't see anyone else available in free agency that would do that, save Karlsson.

    What shoulder did he hurt, earlier in the year? It seemed like he may have hurt it again. He was so pissed off 

     

    He had surgery on his right shoulder, and was definitely clutching his left arm yesterday.  Hopefully it's nothing as serious as before.
