Reports say the Habs offered him the same contract.

But with Quebec taxes, he'd have made half the money.

He's not worth it, a risky signing at best. Looks like a trade will be the way to go, if Bergeron can get it done. Free agent scoring pretty thin,

For 2 million less and more points, you're welcome to take Bozak... I hear that you still need a 1C

Bozak would the be the clear #1 in Montreal. But seriously they wouldn't have the CAP space to add him.

There's always the turtleneck- he's always awesome for about 20 games during the season when his contract is coming up for renewal. And when he's not playing against Colton Orr.

Nothing angers me more than that little (frank)ing turtleneck and I have no rational explanation for why

Well they had very similar stats last year didn't they?

And Drouin is 22, it's not that presumptuous to expect him to keep improving.
- Scabeh

who were Drouin's linemates (primarily) last season? - just curious.

According to agent, tax issue is overstated. Players can defer a lot of income and pay tax at 25%

I have no idea.

All I know is Kucherov whined of not playing with Drouin more... so I'm guessing not him.

And Stamkos died again, so not him.

Freakorenko in the KHL.

But Yakupov is still available!!

You're just like the other 99% of the fan base that saw the issues from day 1.

Senstroll and Fake know that it's still early.

Pillar, Barney, Pearce, Goins, Martin will all learn how to hit real soon.

Travis and Tulo will decide to stop taking injury their whole career.

JB and Morales will stop being 74 years old.

And the club will actually start giving a poop about pitching.

Yawn.
May and June were early. (May they had the 3rd best record in the league)
Into july now. Season looks to be over, they dragged it out too long

Gms back to handing out dumb contracts again.
8 million for a 38 year old.
Oh boy

Guess they really, REALLY wanted him back for only 1 year.

Btw you were traded to the Habs thread earlier on. I acquired you and a first rounder for Habsolute009. A complete steal. Welcome to the family!

I would put the Leafs Tampa Ottawa and possibly the Sabres ove the Habs this year

When the leafs actually beat the habs....we'll see

What's taking so long for Lou to sign Jaromir Jagr??
- MaximusAurelius

Max, you already got your old man for a crazy contract.
No more.

Damn you and your rightness.

Would CBJ's Murray and a 2nd rd pick get JVR? or what might do it?

Hard to say. Tallon must know there's no way they win the cup this year. Probably a conditional pick based on whether or not jvr signs with them
- HealthyScratch6

Very late post!, I'm just getting up and I'm extremely franking hungover thank you very much!and yes Agee!

Happy "Kovalchuk is signing with the Leafs for 2 years and JVR traded for Manson day" to all of you guys

Campbell I wouldn't touch with a flagpole....

Markov on the Leafs would make me sick!
