Non.
- Cyberhabs

Ah TSN dit ça en tout cas, il se seraient trompés?
EDIT:ils viennent de changer leur article. Good move de Bergevin.

C'est le CH qui donne le pick.

TU M'AS MENTI

It's funny how they reach the ECF and now everybody is on the move.

is MTL retaining any salary? they must be.

Parenteau is a 50-60 pt player. we had 2 forwards score 50 (aside from Vanek). i think it's a real solid deal. and yes he's soft but at least he's not tiny.
- DoubleDown

You know what the best part of this deal is? bumholes like Bertrand Raymond won't be able to complain, because we got another frenchy coming back this way to MTL !!!

WOOHOOO!!!!

50-60 is far from a given.
- hscesq

But 30 goals is a given with Vanek.

is MTL retaining any salary? they must be.
- DoubleDown

I'd think not, because of that 2nd year Parenteau's got remaining.

Yes expiring after next season
Plus we gave a 5th and picked up an extra year
We will have to sign the 2 gallys next summer

No.

- deadpoulet

Moving the guys who couldn't help make it past the ECF...because the ECF's are NOT the objective!

- Pecafan Fan

Never said 30 is a given. Just goals in general.

Then again, I think Vanek's stats are a bit better than PAP over their careers, no?

50-60 is far from a given.
- hscesq

0.7 PPG over 300 games.
he will see second line ice time and get PP time.
i think it's reasonable to expect 50.

PAP gets 20 goals and that's a huge deal. Either way, I like this deal a lot.

- DoubleDown

Nope.
