huzer Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) One year deal, no terms released yet. There, so the final guy is finally signed. http://www.habsinsideout.com/main/20993 Edited August 14, 2009 by huzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Diago signed! (excellant), Chips, O'bryne and Price all part of the AHL championship team from Hamilton. They all have something to prove this season; Each of them had better show us that next gear and the wonderful chemistry they had winning the Calder Cup, now they belong in the NHL and they need to prove it on the ICE. GO HABS GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Still trying to find the $$$ aspect, but it sounds like it's a two-way deal like Stewart's. http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=1827 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah, TSN is reporting a two-way deal. I assume the Habs signed him to his qualifying offer (well, re-offered him his QO since it expired back in July). Gotta think D'Ags and Stewart have a little bit of jealousy with Chipchura getting a guaranteed one year deal, but there was logic to that (needed to get Chips' cap hit down, other guys already had low cap hits). Gainey's given himself as much cap space as he can to hopefully bank for the trade deadline, or use in case of a rash of injuries meaning there will be a lot of callups.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it around $600k since he spent most of last season in the NHL. This way, it's a little more than his QO, but enough to give the team a little bit of wiggle room.

GO HABS GO! Agreed but Im not sure O'Brain-less can grow any more neurons (that kid should be placed in an on game simulator) 10 hours a day 7 days a week until he doesnt even have to think before he acts! There is hope! it just will take longer than smarter kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't give Latendresse more than his QO despite being a NHLer for 3 years, then I don't see why he would've given D'Agostini any more for being a NHLer for 4 months. We'll see.

I don't think Chips' roster spot is nailed down at all. I think it was more a case of Chips wanting a shot with another team if he doesn't make the Habs out of camp.

ForumGhost Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Good news, I expect D'Agostini to be a dangerous scoring threat one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitforming Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) I went to the habs site and watched all 12 of D'Ago's goals over again and considering the type of goals he scores I'm really quite amazed he doesn't score more often. Maybe this season will be a good break out year and he can avoid the sophmore slump. Edited August 15, 2009 by Habitforming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this season will be a good break out year and he can avoid the sophmore slump. He got away from driving the net as the season went on. I think he was shellshocked by the team's play a bit. Watching Gionta go to the net should help him gain the courage to do that type of game 82 nights a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
