dlbalr Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Kris Versteeg is set to sign in the Swiss league according to Darren Dreger. I find it hard to believe that he couldn't get an NHL deal. He's still a serviceable third line forward; I'd have much rather signed him than Farnham, that's for sure. The Leafs waived Peter Holland in advance of his arbitration hearing Monday. If he clears, they'll exchange filing numbers tomorrow. That could be a bit awkward. (Minnesota did this with Jordan Schroeder earlier this week too, but he's more of a minor leaguer.)

BCHabnut Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Time for a shout out to Dave stubbs twitter feed. He's earning his pay at nhl.com. I always liked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely is, but just wondering what you are referring to? that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I like all of the old pics and nostalgia stuff he tweets all the time. Lol. I guess earning his pay doesnt really make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Detroit has a pricey goalie tandem now as they re-signed Mrazek for two years with a cap hit of $4 million. They still have Howard for three more years around $5.3 million as well. I suspect they're going to have fun trying to find a taker for Howard. Mike Hoffman signed a four year deal with Ottawa with a cap hit just shy of $5.2 million. I can't help but wonder if they'll try to trade him next offseason when the bigger money starts in the contract. Calle Jarnkrok really likes Nashville - he signed a six year deal with a cap hit of only $2 million. That seems like a real team-friendly deal.

DON Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Cherry picked couple things from http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Jennifer-B-Cutler/Habs-Summer-Poll-Results-Are-In/220/78417 77% think team is better now 86% think Montoya will be back-up 56% think Therrien is fired before end of year. 73% think Muller is set to be the next head-coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 That's Hockey did a bit on Montreal and their offseason moves. No one seems very fond of whats going on in Montreal. I honestly think Bergevin is feeling the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well you seem to think he's doing OK, don't you? Yes and without knowing many actual facts about moves or deals he tried to make in past 4 years that never panned out, got few complaints. Didn't like Briere signing, but that is only one I can think of I never liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 How did you feel about Emelin's contract? That's one I've always really disliked. At the time, I thought was a moderate risk signing him even before his knee was 100%, but hoped he was still gonna be that physical top 4 guy. In hindsight it would be nice to knock off some of his salary; but when he plays vs the Bruins he seems to earn his $, but his puck skills just arnt NHL calibre and I get darn nervous every time anyone passes him the puck.

dlbalr Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Arizona is going to buy out Vermette by the looks of it. If it wasn't for the fact that the Habs don't really have a roster spot for him, I'd have liked him as a third line option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Me too. Might it be incentive to try to make a trade? The trade candidate to open up the spot for Vermette is DD. Consider he makes 3.5 million Consider a similar player in Sam Gagner went off the market on a one-year $650,000 deal today. Consider the team trading for him could just sign Vermette cheaper than DD instead.... or could sign Jiri Hudler likely cheaper than 3.5 million, or Brandon Pirri... and I don't see the market to trade the guy.

Guest Stogey24 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I really thought Desharnais was tradeable, seeing as there is only 1 year left on his deal. What about putting a guy like Flynn on waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 I really thought Desharnais was tradeable, seeing as there is only 1 year left on his deal. What about putting a guy like Flynn on waivers? Desharnais could be tradeable but not until midseason at this point or unless they're taking comparable salary back. Flynn on waivers is already a possibility depending on what happens in training camp. Could they maybe move him to free up a bit of money? I suppose they could although there are comparable players to him still in free agency too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never figure out why we plucked two regulars from one of the worst teams ever. That, for sure, was the apex of Bergevin's "Dr. Cheapass" period.

Machine of Loving Grace Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Q&A with Michel Therrien at his golf tournament. Also someone in the media asked Max Pacioretty if he was going to give up his C to Shea Weber and Pacioretty just said, "No" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
