Hilarious revenge! However, the funny thing is Montreal did a the canes a favour with that Aho offer sheet because it was such a good deal people were scratching their heads why they offered a fair value contract and didn't expect carolina to match, so it was a waste of time. Aho is underpaid now with that contract.

[Buyout] Canucks terminate Virtanen’s contract
FireGillis replied to Where's Wellwood's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Jake is the classic example of the player who is just happy to be in the NHL, so he can party like a rock star. So much potential wasted because he never had the work ethic or desire to improve his game. Not sure if this will be his wake up call or not. -
They will keep re-signing Mike Smith until he's 50.

Indefensible pick! Exhibit A of "hockey culture." There's no getting around it when people try to defend hockey culture as they can always point to this pick now. Just shameful and classless by Montreal!

Protected list from teams around the NHL
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
I think they should take Price. It's a bad contract, but they can make him the face of the franchise like vegas did with Fleury and make up a lot of value in tickets and merchandise sales. They should also take a flyer on tarasenko since there's only 2 years left on that deal. Giordano is a no brainer with only 1 year left too. Gourde should be the tampa pick. Lots of intriguing names on this list compared to the list vegas chose from. I'll be very interested too see which underperforming big name contracts they choose to take. -
https://theathletic.com/2672134/2021/06/25/former-blackhawks-player-every-guy-on-the-team-knew-about-video-coachs-alleged-sexual-assault/ Another article out today about it. Despicable by blackhawks management to ignore Vincent's request to report it to the police. I saw someone comment doubting the story thinking it was a money grab, but there's too many people saying it did happen for that to be the case.

[Speculation] Finnish sniper Laine on the board
FireGillis replied to NHL'er's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
A pipe dream since he would cost too much and we can't afford his next contract, but he would score 50 with petey easy. The jets have mismanaged him so badly and I hope he gets traded to a team that treats him better. They got so lucky in that lottery draft and they just bungled the handling of Laine since. This is a different situation than trouba who wanted out for family reasons. Laine would have been content to stay in Winnipeg if they handled things like his ice time and giving him consistent top line minutes more. Winnipeg has no one to blame but themselves for this situation and isn't a situation of a player not wanting to play in Winnipeg. He wants out for legit hockey reasons. -
[Signing] Senators sign Evgenii Dadonov

Wow that's a great pickup for them! -
[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Brendan Gallagher
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yup. With Gallagher only having a 6 team ntc, that's barely a ntc, so Montreal won't have problems finding a team to trade him to, so this looks more like a don't bury me in the ahl protection. -
[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Brendan Gallagher
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Gallagher paid attention to Tyler Johnson who has a ntc, but not a nmc, so Tampa waived him to circumvent his ntc. Montreal can't do that to Gallagher now. -
[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Brendan Gallagher

No movement clause means you can't be exposed in expansion draft or sent to ahl. -
[Signing] Canadiens re-sign Brendan Gallagher
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Dodged a bullet there! I was afraid Benning would trade for him! I'm not a Gallagher fan at all. -
[Signing] Golden Knights sign Alex Pietrangelo
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Fook Vegas. I hope other players take notice they have absolutely no loyalty. Fired gallant early. Stabbed fleury in the back. Shipped out statsny after signing him as a Ufa. Now other players like pacioretty who they also just signed is on the trade block. Sign with them at your own risk because they will trade you in a hot minute for the next shiny new toy! -
[Signing] Canadiens sign Tyler Toffoli
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I think the Markstrom contract is fine, but Demko has always been our goalie of the future, so I was fine letting Marky go because his cap hit hurts for the future petey and hughes contracts. If we had no Demko, I'd sign Marky to that deal in a second. -
[Signing] Canadiens sign Tyler Toffoli
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Look on the bright side, we still have our 1st round pick next year! Too bad I hear it's a weak draft unlike this year. I'm all for letting the kids play next year for the NHL experience. Give me Hoglander, Juolevi and Rathbone! Sometimes you have to take 1 step back and 2 steps forward! -
[Signing] Canadiens sign Tyler Toffoli
FireGillis replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I know he wasn't fully healed during the playoffs, but maybe the canucks are holding it against him for being a ghost after game 1 in the vegas series. I don't necessarily mind letting him go cause it frees up a top 6 spot for hoglander! I'd love to see him play with Petey next season.
