Major reboot in the works

 

[GEEMAN]

Eh, maybe (probably) I’m confused… why offer sheet someone who will soon be a UFA on July 1?

Why bother , will be vastly overpaid and a marginal improvement over Newhook

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Habs wont be in the playoff hunt unless Monty/Primo stand on their heads and spit nickels

you don't have to try and out negative Wehave

Eh. I think we’ll be “in the mix” with some new players and improvement among the kids. Others teams might finally crack and decline. The East in in transition.

That wasn’t my point, but that’s not an unfair comment. It’s not clear he was at all on the same page as his teammates.

He will be RFA.

 

[lecoqsportif]

He will be RFA.

But if they don’t offer him a contract he’s a UFA, no?

True but Detroit and Buffalo should be better

Habs need many iffs and buts to hit for the next step and it stars with the 2 goalies that need to prove themselves from day 1 , probation is over .

correct if no QO and is arbitration eligible

 

[GrandWazoo]

They won't lose him for nothing. His cap hit is just 3M, easy qualification.

One more year of taking out the trash

 

[GrandWazoo]

I think the confusion is that they won't offer him a long term contract. They will definitely qualify him.

Buffalo should be.

Detroit, I’m skeptical.

QO is 3.5, according to cap friendly.

 

[GEEMAN]

Buffalo should be.

Detroit, I’m skeptical.

I expect a big boost from their youth and Husso missed a ton of games

Seider-Raymond-Edvinsson etc... to improve

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Buffalo should be.

Detroit, I’m skeptical.

Buffalo is always supposed to be better but never are

 

[Habspatrol]

It's actually STI now

Okay, Millennial.

Don't we hear that pretty much every year...and?

 

[GrandWazoo]

Don't we hear that pretty much every year...and?

Buffalo haven’t made the playoffs since 2011 and haven’t won a playoff game since 2007. Until proven otherwise my money is on them not making the playoffs.

Sounds like something a boomer would say

1966. Gen X.

Believe me, I'd be a boomer if I could. Those fuckers got the best of everything and made sure to use it all up so that there'd be nothing left for the rest of us.

At least Gen Zers will still have a few good years ahead of them when all the boomers are gone.
