Neech Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't know where the idea came from that Subban would take less money to be captain. It just seems backward to me. He gets a guarantee in his contract on something that should be up to the people in the dressing room? And then he gets paid less for more responsibility and pressure? You don't go about paying your captain of all people less than he's worth. Gorges seemed like the obvious candidate last offseason, and he already has a little extra captain's pay in his contract. I still think it's his to lose. The ideal would be to have a star take it like Galchenyuk or Subban, but I'm not sure they'd be the right choice at this point. I'd choose Subban over Galch - he's had more time in the spotlight and has handled it well, and I wouldn't want to heap pressure on a young guy in his rookie deal. But it really comes down to the opinion of the people in the dressing room, which we can only speculate about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Back on topic, there's nothing new on the Clement Jodoin to Belarus report from last week. I saw somewhere that there was a picture of him already in Belarus, that suggests to me that this may just be something for during the offseason and won't affect the Habs. Otherwise, I'm sure we'd have had some sort of press release from somewhere about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Pull a Toews and give it to Galchenyuk. He's gonna rule this team sooner than later. I guess Jarome Iginla isn't black enough ? Totally forgot about him. Okay, first black Captain of a team that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great hockey player but he tends to rub people the wrong way and a little maturing is needed. I love the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Love Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It's being floated that Kyle Clifford is being shopped by LA. Dennis Bernstain from The Fourth Period is also saying on his twitter account that they will NOT deal with Habs. What's that all about? He would be perfect for our 3rd line. This is a deal that Bergy should try and do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 A random rumour, but one RDS blogger suggests that the Habs are set to sign Erik Nystrom, their 6th rounder from 2012. Nystrom, although just 19, would play in Hamilton next year. I know he's out of a contract in Sweden so the option for him to cross the pond is legit (and I don't believe he was picked in the CHL Import Draft, quashing any CHL chances). https://twitter.com/GuillaumeL_MTL/status/361961789946208256 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Igor Kleyner: Evgeni Malkins dad told SovSport that the Dallas Stars offered Malkin more money than the Penguins did this summer. Malkin was still under contract with the Penguins. Malkins dad also said that if Evgeni was to leave the Penguins, it would likely be for the Rangers or Canadiens.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 So the Rangers then. He'll play for the Rangers after the Penguins and then try to play for Montreal in the summer but never drop his ridiculous price point.

dlbalr Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm sure some would think Edler given their reported interest before. For the sake of guessing, I'll go another route - Chris Tanev. The Habs could stand to get another stay-at-home guy to take some of the heavy workload off of Gorges and he's only 23. Contract talks haven't gone too well so far so perhaps the Canucks would move him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nokelainen apparently signed a contract in sweden. Any chance Montreal resigns Halpern? I'd say it's slim at this point but I wouldn't mind him coming back at all. He ideally wouldn't be an every-game player but one that could draw in against strong PP teams, ones that are particularly strong at faceoffs, or ones that Parros wouldn't be needed for.
