I never really understood what the expression "tongue firmly in cheek" means, so I don't know how to answer ... The definition is "not intended seriously; done or said as a joke" ... apparently it is an old, old, old, old, old English expression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poehling hasnt seemed ready yet, but it seems Evans is above him in depth chart...for now. And playing bit of wing wont hurt either of them. Assume Weise is gone, will Habs deal for a older Nate Thompson-type (Wayne Simmonds?)? That’s kind of how I see it, but was curious whether the organization would be patient with him or try to push him along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Mathias Brunet, got me thinking again on how the draft is such a gamble. Scherbak or Evans? https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/hockey/2020-09-23/contrat-de-deux-ans-pour-jake-evans/rien-ne-sert-de-courir.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMs in NHL, NBA and NFL all tend to give their own first round picks lots of chances ... IMO he might be traded but not just to "push him along" ... it would be part of a "hockey trade" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 On 9/23/2020 at 3:55 PM, Trizzak said: Franois Gagnon reported awhile ago that the Habs will make (have made?) qualifying offers to Domi, Hudon, Evans, Mete, Ouellet, Juulsen, and McNiven. The rest of the AHLers are a bit of a guess but their services are probably not going to be retained. Don't think Bergevin has made a statement about the UFAs, but I'd bet that none of them get another contract from the Habs. Or not. Blandisi re-signed.
