If he gets a real 1st line center today, which I doubt very much, I'll understand where he is going. But for a guy who decided to go all-in last summer, the only solid bold move he did was signing Radulov. I'm curious to see what will happen today.

Yup. The Ott move on its own is (frank)ing pointless, no way he gives them any better of a chance than before. I think we're all expecting disappointment this afternoon, and we're going to get it. Where's the Bergevin getting 4th line grinders gif?

*waits and see what happens today*

Bet you feel better already!

Filpulla is my guess

i would take that.

You may want to take a look at the (frank)ing market. What is he supposed to do? First line centre? Lol.

i would take that.

He refused TO. I suspect he would refuse MTL.

like fredo said it's just a warm body laying around who has been through the grind and can step in and play 7-8 minutes and not do anything to kill you.

We'll be happy to have Ott once Bergydeal send Flynn for a 2nd and Mitchell for a 3rd and Ghetto for a 4th.

Said Santa's neighbors.

Filpulla is my guess
- Not_Yan

I guess Filpulla is what we expected out of Plekanec at the begining of the season.

Wouldn't mind Kane on our 2nd line with Chucky.

Kane-Chucky-Ott

The Scarface line.

I don't expect a first line center, trading for them is almost impossible and Montreal hass bigger needs anyway. A top 6 winger is potentially doable however.

True. And I just took a look at the depth charts around the league. No good centres available aside of Duchene, me thinks. The best we can hope for today is a good 2nd line winger à la Vanek.

agree. and i would be very happy with Vanek. we know Bergevin will be aggressive and that's why he cleared out DD's salary. i don't think he traded Desharnais for the sake of trading him.

With HUGE tears.

I would take Spezza if they take Plekanec back the other way in the deal.

good hearing people on 690 who ripped on him all the time say how fans gave him too hard of a time.
