ParticipantIf they were available / wanted to come to Montreal, I still think he would have brough in Granlund or Duchene, but even they got crazy money given the lack of centers coming to market.
So I am fine, maybe we can also see what some of the kids can do, and also hope that Hage is the real deal in a few years.
Well Duchene signed at 4,5, that was a huge discount but he clearly wanted to stay in Dallas.
Granlund makes 7M, but that’s 500k more than Gallagher only and it’s only for 3 years. I don’t consider that crazy money but it’s not cheap. No idea if he wanted to come to Montreal but LA seems like a nice place to live when it’s not on fire

Participantyeah… as it is their center line is extremely weak. can’t go far as is, but there’s still 2 months to go before puck drop.
they weren’t competing for the cup next season anyway. Rome was not built in one day!
how is their cap situation? will they be okay just by putting Price on LITR or do they have to trade a salary out?July 14, 2025 at 12:12 pm #16541Mash

Played for the Sharks for most of the last 2 years, went back California… probably enjoys the environment.
Good for him.
But the Habs could not afford the $7M unless they moved some salary quickly. Price will be gone after September 1st, but until then, things are a little dicey.

The trade deadline and next summer could be very interesting, if they team continues to progress as much as they did last year.

well the weather is surely way nicer, but as for the product on the ice I don’t really know what the (frank) the kings are doing, while I find things are much more promising in MTL… but I guess if you’re making 7 million dollars annually then you don’t really give a damn about that lol.

ahh, I see, thanks.
so I guess they could try it, but I’d rather have someone else with more experience at that position, and let Bolduc concentrate on his game and do what he does on the wing.
pretty excited to see him play, I think he’s going to quickly become a fan favorite.

Worked well with Drouin, so this will likely be as good.

thank you for your input Mr.Bergevin, but I think you should focus on how things are going in LA, they need your help

Which isn’t ideal but it’s not the end of the world either.
There’s always the possibility to trade Laine during the year if he interests anyone with his laser on the powerplay.

I do not really think Bolduc is a long-term option there, but he might be there for part of the season if injuries or other players are not performing.
I highly doubt he is their first (or even second) option.
