WTF does that have to do with it?
So basically he's going to be between 25 and 30 during this deal? You mean his prime?

my take is that no, it's not a diaster, but yes it's an overpayment, and the well-run teams in the league typically walk away from those contracts and replace those guys through their farm system. the stupid teams in the league sign those contracts, like Montreal with Lars Eller. or Montreal with David Desharnais. or Montreal with about 60% of its roster.

Yeah, he's probably the most effective 4th liner in the league and can play on 3rd if needs be. Basically a better Brandon Prust. But they overrelied on Tavares during the playoffs and now they basically chose their good 4th liner over Frans Nielson, who they won't be able to sign now. Bad asset management IMO.

yes. but at least it prevents Marc Bergevin from signing him for $4 million.

Don't you worry, MB has guys watching the waiver wire closely for deals like this.

Not a bad player on a terrible team.

It is an awful contract.

Would you rather have him or Plek?

Can he run a successful PP ?


Will he help the team get Brouwer?

He's probably one of the few Anglo that could step in as the Head coach without creating a poopstorm

I might be wrong, but did he not run the PP when it was one of the best?
