So Montreal got even smaller?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Please sign Nathan Gerbe next.

Brière is two years, 4 per.

I'm revoking my already-on-the-brink-of-the-garbage-can Bergevin fanclub card.

@brandonworley
Seguin says he's looking forward to getting back to his natural position at center.

 

[Freyjadour]

Good. Don't want another stop gap center..

Seguin getting asked about the "being a professional" questions. "It's nice to be able to start from scratch."

Peverley: "I've heard a lot of things about Tyler [Seguin] the past 24 hours that I really don't think to be true. It's unfortunate."

Brière is a Habs. Two years.

Fucking Bergevin........

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Ugh, really need to get rid of DD now.

Pierre Lebrun : "Habs GM Marc Bergevin reached out to Flyers GM Paul Holmgren to get feedback on Briere. Holmgren had nothing but great things to say"

OF COURSE HE DID YOU FUCKING NOOB

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I really, really hope this means Desharnais is leaving. Token french smurf position is already filled. (And I'm a frenchie).

saint sacrament! D:

 

[Cake Boss]

LeBrun says Philly is the front-runner for Emery.

About to ice the worst goaltending tandem in the league?

Mason/Emery looooooooooooooooollll

No Cake Boss! Flyers fans think Mason is great because he had A good month! He's the future!!!!!

I swear to god, if we don't move DD and we roll Pleks-Briere-DD down the middle (which is both the most appalling centre line-up in hockey and completely buttfucks Eller and Galchenyuk), I'm driving straight to Montreal and shitting on every single pimp suit Bergevin owns and picking up the ECHL.

 

[Cake Boss]

Doesn't Briere play RW now?

Yeah, badly.

 

[Merguson]

I could make fun of the Briere signing but I would rather not. I'm afraid for the Leafs at this point.

[SCHUEY F1]

6 goals in 34 games last season, good times. Granted Philly didn't exactly have a good season all around though.

Better than Bryz/Boucher/Leighton last year. Also, what about Calgary?

Have fun with the cancer twins!

I'm sure Dunkin Donuts will give them a glowing review.

From HFBoards:

Briere had less even strength points per 60 minutes for the past two years than anyone in the Habs top 9 for the last two years.

Bergevin, stahp!

 

[Merguson]

Chris Gibson got invited to the Leafs prospect camp. Was selected 2nd round in 2011 by the Kings, didn't get a contract, went back into the 2013 draft, not selected. What a fall.

I guess if he looks decent, could be worth signing for goalie depth at least.

Jonas Siegel @jonasTSN1050
Just got off the phone with Grabovski: "Of course I feel [expletive] sad, I played [expletive] five years here."

[expletive]!

I'm too lazy to find it, but one of the greatest GIFs to come out of the Montreal board at HFB was from this incident.

 

[lamaroo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bergevin what are you doing, that's subtraction by addition. I liked it better when he wasn't signing anyone.

I can just see it now, Eller centering the fourth line, while DD and Briere get premier powerplay time and offensive zone starts against shitty competition.

 

[Acid08]

Eller is so tough, picking on children.

 

[GuessWho]

Not crazy about Briere, but you have to admit he is CLUTCH in playoffs.

Spoiler

right????

Fuck, I will rage. There has to be some more moves happening to have this make even a bit of sense.

 

[Red_Man]

Briere is here to replace Ryder not a centre. At least I hope. 2 years isn't too bad but I don't want him here period, at least he's clutch in the playoffs.

Edit: holy shit at the Seguin trade, really not looking forward to seeng Erkisson more often now.

You know this is going to happen. Fuck you, Bergevin/Therrien.

Alfredsson tells SVT that he thinks a deal will get done tonight or tomorrow.

Stefan G:son ‏@steffeG 30s

Reporter: "You've extended with Ottawa?" Alfie: "Not quite done yet, we're in negotiations but I hope it gets done tonight or tomorrow."

You know who else was clutch in the playoffs? Cammy.

Means nothing when there's 82 games to be played before you even get the shot at playoffs.

 

[lamaroo]

Fuck, I will rage. There has to be some more moves happening to have this make even a bit of sense.

I have a bad feeling Eller could end up being traded, ugh I don't like this.

I'm okay with this signing if DD is moved, even if I feel it's 1 million too expensive. I feel bad wanting to get rid of DD so much, but we've suffered enough with small centres.

 

[Junior Mint]

Speak French = $8M contract w/ the Habs.

I would pretty much would quit the NHL for a season if Montreal did something this dumb :lol

 

[Socreges]

Anyway, sorry Habs fans. I know how much you guys have hated on Briere for years. Now begins that awkward transition that every fan must make occasionally, from hatred, to acceptance and, eventually, to love.

:lol, just a bad feeling that it actually seems plausible at this point.

We did that with Ryder last season.

 

[yyzjohn]

I can't really laugh at Habs until I see what Nonis does. If we resign Bozak for more than $4M there will be rage on this board.

I would have loved this deal......if it was 4 years ago. Now he's old and injury prone.

Jonas Siegel @jonasTSN1050
Grabovski had some pretty blistering remarks toward Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. Called him a "stupid coach" among other things.

Oh boy.
