A few years ago it was Semin and I wouldn't be surprise if Hemsky was next. I had no idea he was still playing hockey lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boucher sounds French enough and Sutter adds a little scoring and shut down ability. Plus we'd need the cap space for Chucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering their GM needs to turn things around in Habville fast or he's done, there just might be a chance to steal Chucky. Likely though, it's Duchene the .Habs are after. French name too.

oldnews Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 34 minutes ago, apollo said: MB should be fired. Really not respecting shopping a guy this soon after he signed as a free agent. that's absurd. Streit was a marginal NHL asset who got an NHL contract. He has absolutely nothing to complain about - he lost his spot to a player that is better than him at this point - and got an NHL payday in the process. Bergevin may deserve to be fired, but not for something as fair and insignificant as this. If Benning waives Vanek, or Burmistrov or other this year to make room for an AHL prospect that is commanding a roster spot - so be it - fair is fair. It's a merit game that goes both ways - not an obligation to respect veterans in the form of gifting them undeserved roster spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Streit was drafted by the Canadiens... he's the definition of a "good feel story"... 262nd overall, 9th round. He made it to the NHL and had 62 points with the Canadiens in his final year there. Ultimate underdog... He signed for under a million... down from the 5 he was making... gave them a home town discount and now that's how he's treated? Bergevin has no class. I'm curious what Streit has to say about all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree with you here at all - imo this is entirely fair game - and Streit has nothing to complain about - he's made his money - and he landed a contract at 39/near 40. Thems the breaks - both ways - good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took a chance on him and brought him over as an unknown. As soon as his contract was up he bolted for the big paycheque with the Isles. Bergevin took a chance and signed him in the offseason and it didn't work out. I'm no fan of Bergevin. But there's nothing wrong with cutting Streit loose when he was outplayed by every other D they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
