Deal seems to make sense for both teams - a bit surprised the Habs had to kick in the extra pick in the deal. If anything I figured Columbus would have to add to Anderson to get Domi.

Great to see this. Now perhaps the Captain needs to have a conversation with Ryan Poehling.

Vatanen to Carolina, good pickup for them (assuming he returns from injury before too long).
suspect that also means that Petry stays put

thompson for a 5th says Elliotte Friedman

So this turned into a brilliant deal. Bergevin turns a 4th rounder in 2020 - into a 2nd rounder in 2020 and a conditional 4th in 2021. Good luck to the MB haters trying to find something to criticize here.

but we're not talking about playing kids. We're talking about Dale freaking Wiese. Sign me up for Kovalchuk over him.

Typical but wouldn’t u just test what you got from your youth then gamble on him? This is the type of thing’s I get tired of seeing. If you’re going to go with youth go with youth.
I suspect the injuries played a role here. We just called up Dale Weise. Wouldn't you rather Kovalchuk in the lineup than him?

who knows what he has left, but can't argue with the cost.

1 year - two way - $700k

Wanted him when he was initially dealt to Buffalo. Obviously his stock has lost some of its shine the last two years, but getting him at such a reasonable cost seems a very worthwhile gamble by Bergevin.

Interesting story in the Athletic today about Jake Gardiner where he mentions turning down a multiple year deal from Montreal at around $5 million per year, on July 3rd. Have to wonder what the offseason would've looked like had he signed...

Hate this conversation, but absolutely love this post. Well done.

Yes, they have the regional contract.
Meaning that once again, if you're outside of the Quebec market, you're screwed.

I dont see Ceci as an upgrade.
Whether they had to move him or not, Kerfoot is a downgrade, and Barrie just replaces Gardiner who is gone... he plays the other side so that balances them better.
Still gonna have issues though as Ceci, Barrie will both be UFA next year (if the one year 4.5 million contract rumour for Ceci is believed), and their cap situation won't get better.Muzzin will be UFA next offseason as well I believe.

Dundon just confirmed to Pierre Lebrun that the Canes will match the offer sheet. That was fun while it lasted...

Aho! Wow kudos to MB for having the stones to try this.

Devils signed Wayne Simmonds, so at least we dodge that particular bullet.

What contending team would want Niemi? Every other player on that list has term left, and Benn/Schlemko are scrap heaps on the Habs defense...again, what contender wants them? Patches and Shaw, I don't think anyone realistically thought they were moving at the deadline.
People expect so much every deadline. Expectactions are just unrealistic.
If Morrow can fetch a 4th and Reilly can fetch a 5th I have a hard time believing that Benn and, to a lesser extent, Schlemko would have no value. I get that moving Alzner would've been difficult, but with all our picks, he could've been packaged with one to a team with cap space to get the contract off the books. It's not that unheard of.
-
So MB had Niemi, Benn, Schlemko, Alzner, Pacioretty, Shaw and more that he could've dealt, but he finishes the day having moved only Plekanec, Morrow and Jerabek.
Very disappointing deadline from a very disappointing GM.
-
And apparently we're done.... so Jerabek/Morrow out, Reilly in and Benn/Schlemko remain.
Very underwhelming.
