Around the League, Moves/Deals: Gomez done in Montreal. MDZ signed, Zajac Re-signed
 

Carry on.

why do the finals take so long to start?

The NHL drags this thing on for way too long

Should have started today.

Bergevin, Dudley, Mellanby, Hartley.

**** off Montreal.

Dudley is the only one i care about. the rest define meh

Montreal has some nice pieces moving forward.

I was really impressed with Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu has some really good offensive upside.

Price, Subban, Max Pac, Tinordi, Beaulieu and #3 overall pick is a nice young core to build around.

Nothing out of that makes me nervous or jealous.

Pretty average and inexperienced other than Dudley.

There's a reason why Hartley was out of service for that long, and isn't because he was refusing offers. The guy had to go to Europe to coach.

The grass isn't greener this time around.

Only thing I remember of bob hartley is how he loved his enforcers. When thrashers started losing he would totally goon it up, not much to be envious of in terms of coaching material

Yeah, I'll never understand the big gap between conference finals and the finals, they leave it long enough (sometimes a week+) that fans lose any interest they had (aside from fans of the 2 teams obv.).

Habs are doing a good job with their front office.

Disagree. That's a pretty good management team coming together. Obviously not on par with Toronto in terms of impressiveness, but a good team nonetheless. You don't need to be a Habs fan to see that.

I am still jealous of Tinordi, after watching the Memorial cup, I want him and don't want to face him.

the devils and the pick?
 

So when kovie signed his massive contract NJD got fined 3 million and had to give up one first round pick in 2011-2014 depending on there choice. When do they get to choice. If they win the cup can they choose now?

If they lose the Cup they can choose this year!

It's almost a guarantee they will forfeit it this year. It'll be 29th or 30th, so it makes sense (unless their current plan is to develop picks this year with the impending loss of Parise and Brodeur).

Most likely we will move up to 34th in the draft.

Merged in to Around the League.

He was also a coach on a reality TV show in Quebec where beer ligue hockey player from Quebec city faced beer ligue player from Montreal.

here he is in an argument with the other coach Patrice Brisebois




Doing that show made Hartley lost alot of credibility...:help:

Uh, I guess?

The names are familiar, that's about it.

Until they show otherwise, pretty average front office to me.

Press conference for Lidstrom tomorrow morning at 11.

Retiring?

yea i would think he is if he is having a press conference, can't be for a winter classic re-signing.

Nathan Bealieu signed to ELC by the Montreal Canadiens.

that guy is good but my eyes are on tinordi more than anything.

I still think Bealieu will be better but the Habs have done well for themselves with Tinordi and Bealieu. Schultz, should he choose to sign here, should help even the playing field a bit. :laugh:

Oh without a doubt but if all goes well ideally, Tinordi can beat him IMO.
Gauthier and Gainey has helped their prospect pool quite a bit in the defensive and net place. Their forwards need help though, but the habs are doing a good job in the front ofice.
