Consider Hayes got over 7 Stone is getting $9.5M, and for one year longer. I expected more than that for Duchene. A discount for the Predators? Lee for $7.5M?

Metallica Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think Duchene wouldn't of been a good fit here in Montreal. So glad we didn't cough up the cash for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our current group of centres will be just fine and Lee and Gardiner fill more holes on the roster than just Duchene. Agree, again. Let’s just hope that Lee and Gardiner do turn out to be the outcome. I have a gut feeling about Lee, but Gardiner is harder to imagine, after all the crap he’s had to eat in TO.

I think he might be really intrigued about getting the opportunity to play with a real number one D in Weber. A guy that can carry the defensive load and the pairing and let Gardiner just do his thing, he has never had that opportunity in his time with the Leafs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Lots of stuff from Friedman on the Habs. I'm not a fan of the reported price for Lee (7 x 8) and he tosses Turris out there as an option as well. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/just-exactly-marc-bergevin-sleeve/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I really didn't get the feeling (from the article) that Friedman had the inside line on any of the UFA activity. But maybe I'm wrong. 13 hours to go ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee I had mentioned his name a few days ago so looks like I beat EK to the punch on that one if we do sign him ? I would gladly pay 8 million for duschesne.

Chris Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Tennessee is a very good state for taxes. It woukld have cost the habs 9-9.5 to make it even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link67 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 This whole Jake Gardiner thing really seems likely now with all the different reports coming out on Twitter. I'm hoping playing with a Stalwart like Weber at his side, it really brings out the effectiveness of his game and he becomes another Petry on the Right side for us. I am also very happy to see all the Simmonds to Montreal talk die off over the last few days, that was getting nerve wracking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 8 hours ago, Commandant said: I'm hearing two things 1) Habs are making space for Gardiner and Lee 2) Habs are making space to offer sheet Sebastian Aho. I think Gardiner and Lee would be perfect for our needs and I will be ecstatic if that happens. 8 mil for Duchene sounds cheap considering what others have gotten. 6 hours to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw > Simmonds these days. If it isnt Lee, Gardiner or both, count me as disappointed, and a little weary of Bergevin’s decision making for the first time in about a year.

dlbalr Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 From Scott Powers of The Athletic: Quote Teams have reached out to the Blackhawks regarding Jokiharju, according to multiple sources. The Montreal Canadiens are believed to be one of those teams. It doesn’t sound like the Blackhawks have any interest in moving Jokiharju, though. https://theathletic.com/1056471/2019/07/01/powers-how-andrew-shaw-fits-the-blackhawks-roster-thoughts-and-last-minute-free-agency-talk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REV-G Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I've been reading reports that MB has been talking with Carolina. IF that's true do you think Bergevin could be trying to do a Drouin for Aho trade? Would we need to add a pick?? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
