Been a long time since I’ve worn a jersey. The kids have a bunch of them.
Any one heard any bolts rumors? Point gets signed. No worries there. The other RFA’s shouldn’t be a problem. Trouba gone. Wonder if Risto still getting moved or anyone else Brisbois could be targeting.

Thanks for responding to my question. I could definitely go to games to teams I am not a fan of but just not consistently. I don't think it would have the same feel as being there with the swings of emotions for my team. I did enjoy my trip to the Bell Centre even though the Bolts weren't playing same as well as when I went to Nashville. I was there so I went and enjoyed the atmosphere but it would be so much more if the Lightning were on the ice.

As for the the team, they will get Point and the other RFAs signed. But I think they might be done after that as the cap has limited the options. I would like to see an upgrade on the D but can't see how they could pull it off. Seems like they are going to put Sergachev in a sink or swim situation on the top pair RD. But maybe they can make a trade before the season to help shore up the right side on D.

Welcome. I think all the talent up front has gotten a little stale. I expected a couple, other than, Miller, to be moved for a defensive upgrade

Yeah, 1.65 I think.

Carter Verhaeghe just signed to a one-year, two-way deal. I didn't see a cap figure with it, but I am assuming it is a league minimum contract.

Montreal tried to offer sheet Point and he refused to sign it.

What's with Bergevin turning heel all of a sudden? He must realize he is out of chances and his job is finally on the line. He's getting desperate to find that 1C that the Habs have lacked for so long.
