no one huh?

except for here

Some of these contracts strike fear into the heart.

What will schenn get. Sigh.

Schlemko to San Jose, not bad, going from NJD to SJ

They played him 9:01 of average icet ime at ES in the regular season, without PP time, and 8:05 of average ice time in the playoffs at ES without PP time. They didn't get him because of his scoring. He was brought in as a depth role player.

No. I live there. They thought he would score on the third line. That's why they got him. Quenneville wouldn't play him very much because he didn't know they system and he doesn't really trust players he hasn't had very much, and they had center issues with Kruger hurt

They got him to score, because Hossa was having a miserable season and they didn't have enough offense. He just didn't score for them, and Quenneville used him less

Not like they are gonna need to protect, resign, or get any other guys every again

If the Weise deal was 3 years, I'd be ok with it. If it was 2 years, I'd be satisfied. I worry that his game will begin to decline
- PhillySportsGuy

It could easily be a 3 year deal. If he remains the same player, you don't think they could move Weise with one year left on his deal if they need to? Every player, is at risk for decline. I think we have to look at what kind of player he is.

can anyone elaborate on Michel Therriens system compared to Joel Quenneville's system, also then compared to Haks? A system like Haks could benefit a guy like Weise

Yup, should be fun watching Kreici, Bergeron and Backes all break down together in Boston.

- BiggE

Bergeron will not break down. Guy is superhuman.

Which is exactly why I wanted them to try to do something about him during the season.

Shea Weber received an $8M bonus from the Habs today.

Welcome to Montreal!

Do we even have any official confirmation on either the length or dollars of the Weise deal?

Traded?

youre saying empathically that Dale Weise cant score 30 points in a third line capacity. Matt read almost put up 30 points in 3rd line capacity while being a healthy scratch, playing the least amount of minutes in his life, and is 2 years older.
- sjk540

And I feel totally comfortable saying it. It's not like he's hit 30 points before

After Canadian taxes, that should leave him with roughly 40 grand.

Can't expect UFAs to give us a discount on July 1st.

Hexy seemed pretty adamant about waiting a week. He bit at noon. At least it was a dainty bite and not an Old Country Buffet chow down like all the other moronic GMs.

Bergeron will not break down. Guy is superhuman.
- Mononoke

Yeah, we thought the same about Pronger.

unless he is going against randy baddude jones

- AllInForFlyers

I don't care where you live. I don't doubt they were hoping that he could chip in offensively, but you don't trade for or sign a player like Weise based on offensive production as the main focus. Nor do you judge him solely on offensive production.

Have we mentioned the Habs sign Radulov after ripping Subban's character and leadership?

GTFO.

All right boys, I gotta run. Play nice.

And I feel totally comfortable saying it. It's not like he's hit 30 points before
- AllInForFlyers

thats true but really, had 26 points in 56 games last year for Montreal, and it just didnt work out in chicago. he plays anywhere near a full season, he will get 30.

mark my words, he will get 30

After Canadian taxes, that should leave him with roughly 40 grand.

that should cover a couple of meals at joe beef anyway
