on the radio this morning they we're talking about Perron and how he's going to ask for 5M+ and how we should give him a try

This kills the hope

Getting articles about how PLD put on 40 pounds of muscle. This is going to be the longest off season/lost regular season/post season/off season cycle ever.
 
Pittsburgh chose not to qualify 25-year-old defenceman Justin Schultz <http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player-bio/justin-schultz> at $3.9 million, as expected, making him a pending UFA. Schultz said his intention is to re-sign in Pittsburgh, so he could always come to terms on a deal for less than that prior to July 1.
so we wouldnt pay his ridiculous QO amount, but we still may sign him

Guys, I have a funny story I want to tell you but now that there's a fucking cop in our community I'm not sure I should since it involves certain illegal activities in which I could or could not be involved

Yeah, we're out on Stamkos. No way Bergevin can unload one, let alone TWO, of DD, Emelin, Plekanec to free up the cap space by Friday. No way in hell. I guess 3rd liner Andrew Shaw was the coveted prize, not the 60 goal scorer.

Here will be our lines by November, book it:

Patches-DD-BGally
AGally-Plek-Byron
Sven-Shaw-Carr
Danualt-Mitchell-Flynn

dat worst lineup in the NHL


If it makes you feel any better, I don't think Stamkos would have seriously considered the Habs as an option, childhood friendship with PK notwithstanding.

Tell the story. We'll deal with Fubar if he gets out of line and starts suppressing our civil liberties.

How 'bout don't, and stop being involved in illegal activities. Be a stand up guy. While you're at it, get a cat avatar. #LiveRight

There's no way the Habs' off-season will be worse than ours in terms of disappointment. That I can guarantee. So take solace in that guys, cause we'll definitely be making moves of some kind, which means Shaw isn't the only thing you do.

Unless we only do 1-2 and it's signing Lucic to a 7x7 deal and trading Kreider away for a 2nd in 2018.

Edit: Jhonny I need more beer suggestions pls. Gonna be in the Philly area again this weekend. Going to the beer store. The smaller one in Southampton but still, this way I can grab 6 packs or singles and not have to commit to 24's. Not that I regret the Sculpin. That shit was gone so fast. I can bring back like 48 beers total, normal bottle/can size. Or whatever that amounts to in liters. Maybe more! Help.

I feel like this is probably more important news than whatever other bullshit you guys were talking about.

Hard to say. Taxes would fuck us over, and we may not be able to offer him what some of the other teams do, but in terms of how he fits and what his role would be, I think Montreal is right at the top along with Detroit and NYR. He'd slot right into those teams' top lines nicely and would make them an instant threat in the East.

Toronto and Buffalo? Both are (sadly) going to be very good teams.....in 4-5 years. Does Stamkos want to waste what's left of his prime on rebuilding/young teams? He'd be 30+ before either are legit threats.

Honestly, if Stamkos is truly driven by wanting to win a Cup, I think his best bet is to swallow the $8.5M/year and stay in Tampa.

July 1 should be fun.

I am not good with Ambers or Stouts as I don't drink them often at all, but I can give you a list of Pilsners, IPAs, Wheat Ales, Lagers, German beer, Hefe-weisen, and all sorts of different craft shit lol

Hoffman- Stamcock - Stone
MacArthur- Turris- Ryan
Smith- Zibenejad- Pageau
Dzingel- Paul - Lazar

The Montreal Canadiens have been in contact with Dale Weise's camp. There's interest to perhaps bring him back -- the Canadiens traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks before the deadline -- but it would have to be at the right price. Other teams have also called. Weise is a useful bottom-six guy and was popular in Montreal. But, again, I don't think GM Marc Bergevin goes that route unless the price is right.

Milan Lucic spent most of yesterday being wooed by the Canucks in his hometown. The Oilers are the front-runners though.

lol Oilers
 
Stamkos in Ottawa I wish. Melnyk couldn't afford a signed Stamkos poster.

The roster is pretty much locked thanks to Murray(Neil lol), hopefully they get a bottom pairing defencemen and BoroTurd never hits the ice again. That would be a decent improvement actually.

It's up to Le Chiffre to make a winner of this mess.

Those games he did get to play on the big club though he at least looked pretty good. idk about his fancy stats and all that though.

iirc his fancy stats were pretty good in that small sample in 2014-15. the few games he played in 2015-16 were not so good I think.
