I said pieces to move, not move all of them...besides, it was reported Bergevin has no interest in Laine.

Laine will probably hit the 8m signing. I’m not sure Habs are ready to put big money on offensive guys yet. Specially with our first line signing next year

agreed. I think they will sign Gallagher, and then all future forwards, UFA or trade, will come up just under him capwise.
unless they acquire a superstar, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

With Gallagher, its about term more than money, last thing we want is give him a 7 year contract and he gets injured often in the last 3 years or age catching up to him

he'll be fine. even with a 7y contract, he would be 35 when the last season begins.
the longer the deal the lower the cap hit.

Remember Gionta, he was in the same boat and got injured for many games his last 2 seasons with Habs

they were still able to trade him no? frontload the contract, makes it even easier to trade him in the final 2 seasons if needed. but I doubt it, Gallagher will retire a Habs imo.
would you prefer 6y at 5M per, or 5y at 6M per?

Will give him 6.5 for 5y easier for him to sign

so that makes 32.5M total.

I'd give 7y 5M per, total 35M.
Habs save 1.5M on the cap.

it was all bs. the guy actually put together a trip to an ice hog game for a bunch of posters. it was strange when he starting banning people for posting laughies and other harmless posts.

Seems like a lot of people go loopy when they become one. What's the expression that says someone's real personality shows when they have power?
