dlbalr Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Lots of them would be in some respect. But they don't have the money to sign most of them. Even with clearing half of Gallagher's deal, they only really have around $5M or so to spend once they re-sign Dach/Bolduc/Xhekaj. Quote
GHT120 Posted June 30 Posted June 30 An interesting name added to the market place, who is eligible for 1-yr, bonus based 35+ contact ... expect he will attract a lot of interest Quote
titanfan Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Interesting low cost free agent. Jeff Viel from Anaheim. Quebec boy (Rimouski). Hard worker. Tough as nails 4th line guy who will stand up for his teammates and has some offensive upside. Sounds like a Hugo guy. Quote

Based on his history, seems like a 12/13th forward type ... but at the right price could be a good addition ... I'm a "gas de chez nous" advocate when possible Quote

He's looking for three years. Quote

dlbalr Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Early-morning Montreal speculation: - Likely to have interest in Mason Marchment but unlikely to offer the long-term deal he's expected to command. (Does that mean they might try a short-term overpay? They can't exactly afford that.) - Expected to be a suitor for Claude Giroux after he didn't come to terms with Ottawa. It wouldn't shock me if they sign him as a one-year C stopgap, using bonuses to give themselves some wiggle room. Quote

dlbalr Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Jacob Trouba 4 x $8.25M to San Jose. Good fit for them. Let's see if that pushes the John Carlson market forward. Speaking of which... Quote
