Montréal pourra jamais attirer des UFA, ils doivent bâtir par le repêchage et les échanges.

Il y a encore beaucoup trop de bois mort sur ce club là...Hughes a les mains liées par des mauvais contrats de Bergevin

bah, je comprends que ce sera jamais une destination "de rêve" pour les joueurs de la ligue nationale, mais avec ce qu'ils sont en train de bâtir il va définitivement y avoir des joueurs qui vont être intéressé à se joindre à ça... c'est pas Arizona non plus là lol.

I think the logic is that they would rather play in markets like TB and Vegas, where it's warm and there isn't as much pressure.

but I think that's overblown, there's been some decent UFAs that played for the habs in recent history, and there will be others in a not-so-distant future, that doesn't really worry me all that much.

Crazy media, weather, fans scrutiny, taxes...

There are players who don't want to play in Canada, period.

Can't compare with the Rangers. Every mother(frank)ing UFA wants to play there.

while I get that MTL isn't a top destination I think you're exaggerating how badly players are avoiding to play there.

Savard is a local guy

Last notable one was Monahan,

Toffoli in 2020

Mike Hoffman in 2021

weren't Kovalev and Radulov UFAs?



Hoffman, tabarnak


and so what if Savard is a local guy, he's still a decent UFA who decided to sign in MTL, unless you want to go full cherry-picking mode.
