Bergevin said he wants to talk about Weber and not Subban
Weber is a gold medalist
the contract doesn't scare him because players like him are durable, compares to markov (???)
he never had a problem with PK (???)

I am so thankful we have Sexy Hexy

 

[zroid]

i'm legit worried about Red

PK is also a gold medalist...

It's a long drive to Montreal.

multiple gold medals* is what he said

 

[dankir]

So preds-gaf you guys happy now?

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Fuck 2016. Fuck the Habs. Fuck Bergevin. Fuck Therrien. Fuck everything.

I honestly think the subban trade was better than the taylor hall trade lol

 

[CreeperBlocks]

PK is going to be the next Prime Minister after Trudeau.

Believe.

 

[imBask]

I honestly think the subban trade was better than the taylor hall trade lol

dude, it's not even close cmon. We traded a great dman for a great dman, but ours was a little bit better

Hall for Larsson is straight garbage

that's what i was trying to say

like... subban trade is getting so much attention... but edmonton got FLEECED for Hall

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Kinda frustrates me tbh.

Larsson isn't that much better than Brodin or Dumba. Definitely could have made a deal there.

 

[imBask]

Honestly, I think the move is an all-in. Bergevin wants to win the cup right now so he got a leader and a stud who's ready to win right now

I doubt it'll work, especially with Stamkos gone

Spoiler

Unless we score the Kucherov dream

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Nobody came up to me and told me not to trade subban

PK screwed PK

 

[yyzjohn]

I feel unreasonably disappointed. I mean honestly, I could use the words "my heart sank" when I heard the news Stamkos signed.

I should get some god damn perspective though. Because really, Tampa is a fantastic team, Yzerman is a fantastic GM, and Stamkos has it good staying in Tampa.

But the dream of him "returning home" was too great for me, heh. ¯_(&#12484_/¯

No worries huge Tampa fab ZeeoGravity said Stamkos is no longer elite so they'll be stuck with that contract in years 4-8.

 

[zroid]

I think the main reason Hall fleecing isn't getting as much attention is because EDM can probably manage offensively without him. They have so many weapons and there's only so many minutes to go around. But in a vacuum yeah jesus christ it's bad. Chiarelli is something else.

 

[lamaroo]

Weber is a diamond in the rough according to Bergevin. The guy who has been over hyped probably more than anyone the last few years, and gets a free pass for Team Canada.

 

[Heretic]

love this explanation:

It's when you want senpai to notice you, but you end up eating someone else's poop but you don't actually love that person, and senpai still doesn't notice you.

 

[imBask]

No worries huge Tampa fab ZeeoGravity said Stamkos is no longer elite so they'll be stuck with that contract in years 4-8.

oh right, this fuckboi kept hammering that Stamkos was done and they didn't need him, i'm guessing he's real bummed out now

 

[CreeperBlocks]

PK got CM Punked.

 

[_DrMario_]

He understands guys, he understands.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Has any exec fallen as far in fans eyes as Bergevin has now?

 

[yyzjohn]

Fuck 2016. Fuck the Habs. Fuck Bergevin. Fuck Therrien. Fuck everything.

Good seeing you again bro.

 

[ZeroGravity]

For the record, I never said I was opposed to the Lightning re-signing Stamkos, or that he was "done." He just wasn't the kind of player who deserved 10+ million anymore. Yzerman signed him to exactly the right deal.

 

[TheStruggler]

PK got CM Punked.

nope, Bret Hart

 

[lupinko]

Surprised that Hall got traded instead of Yakupov.

Also I knew Stamkos was only going to go to either to Tampa or Toronto.

So for once I'm actually pleased the Loafs isn't set anything on fire like the old days.

Sorry Habs fans, you guys got fleeced.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

nope, Bret Hart

Oooo yeah that's a better example

 

[imBask]

On the fleecing 10 point scale, I think we're at a 3 or 4 and Edmonton are at a 12

 

[StylesClash]

What if St. Louis would have done Shattenkirk for Hall? Isn't that a better deal for both?

 

[calder]

On the fleecing 10 point scale, I think we're at a 3 or 4 and Edmonton are at a 12

No doubt the Hall trade is much much worse, at least the Habs can use bullshit "team conflicts" to partially explain their mistake

 

[yyzjohn]

Last year was already a down year for him. This is continuing the slide. He can still be an effective player, but he's no longer elite and he's not capable of carrying a team.

Says the only one here who actually watches him with any regularity. Anyone who thinks they're signing the guy who scored 60 goals is in for a rude awakening. He's not the same player he used to be. All aspects of his game have regressed since then. It's depressing to watch how bad he's been this year

Posted in the pick ups thread. These came in today on a day thats been awesome for hockey in general.

Team issued Harvard pants.

 

[lamaroo]

Hoping they start the season on a huge loss streak and management is replaced.

Yes

If I want to win now, I'll want the better player right now. The move doesn't make sense in the short term and makes much less sense in the long term.

I give this Socreging a B, maybe a B+.

Are you playing for Harvard? Damn.

 

[RedRum]

I just heard the news here at work. Holy fuck in a handbasket. Trade of the century. Habs just keep getting robed. Have we done a HabsGAF headcount? Everyone check in okay and alive??

 

[Line_HTX]

"To my new fans in Nashville...

HOWDY! Let's go."



PK Country music version incoming.

Only problem is Shatty is a UFA next year. Unless Oilers could guarantee some term it's risky. Edmonton isn't exactly a free agent hotbed.

 

[Kifimbo]

Every single talking heads on RDS think this is a good trade for MTL. Baffling.

 

[ZeroGravity]

.

Hence, "not worth 10+ million a year anymore"

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Welcome Shea.

 

[zroid]

If the Preds sign Reimer to shore up their goaltending situation I'm gonna be all-in on Nashville next year.

P.S. I rooted for the Pens last year after the Kessel trade and look how that turned out

 

[Pikma]

Everything the Oilers do will always be on a whole other level, not sure what the purpose of comparing yourselves to that shit organization is

"To my new fans in Nashville...

He seems happy about it. I'm glad

"I know I said he wasn't an elite player and that he was getting worse and worse but I'm glad we signed him to an 8 year contract"

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

When's the last time we saw this many Oilers fans here? When they won the McDavid draft lottery?
