Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[lecoqsportif]

It’s an odd condition but we don’t know how they arrived at it. Maybe HuGo asked for something richer and the Jets refused. Maybe this was their counteroffer.

8.5% lotto chance to get the grand prize of .......3rd rounder three years from now.

Not sure it was worth the pixels used in the pdf...but better than nothing Kent, at least you tried to get a little more

 

[Sal_Butera]

That conditional is so dumb. Why even bother? Should be a conditional first at least until if the condition is on winning the Cup.

PR / marketing…. “optics” of “I got more than just a late 1st round asset”

 

[CH1]

I don’t think it’s a pr move (not enticing enough) but an attempt to squeeze whatever he can out of a deal, even at the outermost margins

 

[Habsy]

No but there's ancillary benefits, maybe he bet Gorton he could do it?

 

[CH1]

What does Gorton do all day

 

[GGpX]

Learn French and smile for the cameras.

Not sure what Hughes do most days either to be fair

 

[Habsy]

There's more to hockey operations than trades. Hughes travels everywhere to see our prospects play. Gorton is the buffer. He schmoozes.

Good. I can’t wait to hear Franglais with a Bostonian accent

eats

Gignac earns a 2 years 2-way contract, good for him. Good on the Habs for finally giving him the shot.

 

[GGpX]

About time, honestly.

He was in the last waves of cuts in last season's training camp and has been excellent in Laval ever since. Let him play a little in Montreal and see how this goes.

 

[habs25th]

Yeah, rather him than Condotta or Stephens.

 

[wiseguy1]

Yeah, rather him than Condotta or Stephens.

I don't think he plays centre though.

 

[GEEMAN]

All are junk

Thought he was a center with the rocket. He is listed as center on his db page.

 

[wiseguy1]

Well we gonna play alot of junk from now until the end of season.

He plays wing but so does Condotta with Laval, so who knows.

isn't that what the so called "tankers" want?
