It's legitimately one of the funniest things I've ever seen in hockey. Marchesseault's reaction makes it even better.

 

[GGpX]

Another good one, lol

 

[Habsy]

Yeah he's a fan favorite and Bergy owes us something.

 

[hablov]

It's only okay if he does it to opposing teams, really. He's something else.

 

[habsfan]

I’d give him a 2nd year

 

[Krustchev]

No Weber, Perry, Staal, Dano. Lots of leadership loss.

Not sure it matters in the room if you replace them adequately on the ice

Where did Perry sign?

 

[Habsy]

Where did Perry sign?

Nowhere yet

 

[Krustchev]

Nowhere yet

He made it seem like he’s definitely gone.

 

[Habsy]

I think someone will offer him something better.

Cizikas and Krejci?

 

[Habsy]

Cizikas and Krejci?

Cizikas would replace Danault

Krejci is preferred but would likely not sign with the Habs.

 

[Krustchev]

Cizikas would replace Danault

Krejci is preferred but would likely not sign with the Habs.

I’d prefer Cizikas but I doubt he’s leaving the Isles.

Per TSN690 Tony Marinaro’s podcast, who had Danault’s agent (Stephane Fiset) on:

- Habs only provided one offer: 5 x $25M (not 6-years)

- No response from Habs to Danault’s counteroffer at any point last season

- Kings were only team to submit an offer, 4-other teams made inquiries but no offer as they had other things cooking

Looks a lot like take it or leave it offer to Markov/Radulov ...

Id be comfortable giving Perry a 2x2. We have money to spend and he’s a good mentor for the younger guys. I’m guessing he wants to go ring chasing?

the head scratcher for me was why the Habs weren’t in on Nate Schmidt. We could have absorbed his contract and he only cost a 3rd rounder. Would have been a good fit.

Was also thinking the Habs should add Joe Thornton for a minimum contract. I know he’s cooked, but in limited stretches, he can play. Would be nice to have some experience at centre and gave him play once in a while

Yup, lost him for nothing.

However circumstances were different with the cup run.

I wondered the same regarding Schmidt

No to Thornton

2 x 2 is too much for perry. If a second year is involved he'll take $1-$1.5.

we have the money to spend if it comes down to $$, and if it’s a lost season, he’d still be easily movable at the deadline.

I don’t think it’s about term or money, or he’d likely already be signed back. Seems like he wants to go ring chasing. Wonder if he ends up on the Leafs?

 

[Habsy]

I sure hope not. I used to despise him until I saw how much fun he is to watch being The Worm.
