smon Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 They must've accepted their qualifying offers. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=170681&hubname=nhl The Montreal Canadiens announced Thursday that the club has re-signed centre Mike Ribeiro and defenceman Jean-Philippe Cote to one-year contracts. Financial terms were not disclosed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Dang you beat me to it! *deletes newly posted thread on the signings* Oh well, I guess we'll be stuck with Ribs for another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 No big surpirse here. Hopefully Ribeiro brings a new attitude to camp and is willing to work hard, and can develop some chemistry with whoever he is playing with. A better attitude towards team defense and backchecking would also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 1 year deals are nice. Forces both players to keep improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Oh well, I guess we'll be stuck with Ribs for another year. yeah... maybe he'll do better next season so we'll be able to trade him at the trade deadline, man the guy sucks in playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaos Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 How bout we can trade ribiero cuz hes signed now CAMMON WASHINGTON NEEDS A PLAYMAKER ! YEah but I think they want a playmaker who doesn't suck ass. I think Ribeiro is possibly the one person in the league who would make Ovechkin look bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 And one of the most classless punters in the game returns. Joy and bliss. The folks at RDS must be whooping it up since The Franchise is back. Disappointing move by Gainey, though it's also an understandable hockey move. I would have hoped the GM would see not signing him as addition by subtraction, however he obviously feels that King Ribby can serve a useful purpose on the ice that cannot be otherwise filled at this point in time. This unfortunately slows Gainey's quiet purge of all the classless elements in Montreal. A downer for fans who are sick of the three-ring circus.

Mr. Nasty Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 There is still no guarantee he is here for the year. Perhaps teams were afraid he would hold out. Maybe (hoping) this gives him more trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ribeiro probably took his qualifying offer which is no surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) So Ribeiro has gone through all the offers other teams made and rejected them all. They may have been offering more money but as he always says he really wants to play for the habs. Oh well. I was looking forward to the 4 first round picks but ...

Peter Puck Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 He was a restricted free agent, there were no offers made by other teams. No no. He was FREE agent. This means he could have signed with any of the many clubs seeking his special set of skills (including the Italian national soccer team). Just exactly and precisely like we've been discussing here whether Bob should try to sign Gagne. Being a restricted free agent means the Habs would have received compensation from whatever other team signed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Puck Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I love the first 2 sentences from the TSN article: "The Montreal Canadiens re-signed the 26-year-old centre to a one-year, $1.9 million US contract on Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 if ribs got 1.9 then he must have pictures of bob with a goat because he aint worth 1.9. Keep him yes but at 1.2 maybe 1.3 where else was he going to this kind of $? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
