a 3rd.... yeah, this coming from a fan base that was asking 1sts and 2nds + a prospect.


Not sure where you heard that, but a 3rd it definitely nice to get for free. Thank you Kovalchuk. Thank you for doubting MB grin

I'm not sure why you act like it's some prize. It's a 16% chance at an NHL player.
For a guy you claimed was so great but even you had to admit 1 point in the last 7 games.
He wasn't a prize for MTL at all, even they knew that. They got little to nothing for him. Hell you even had to retain on a league min contract to get a 3rd. That's sad.

We got a pick for something that was got for free. Better than what 30 other NHL GMs did.

I'll take free picks all day long. Thank you.

you didn't get it for free. Someone had to pay real money to sign him. The 3rd really isn't worth it. 84% chance you got all of nothing for real $$$

We did get him for free. We have one of the most profitable teams in the league. 3rd round pick for free.

Im sorry, you are right @pharrow.

350k is a lot compared to what your opinion is worth...

It's still less that what Lukas Vejdemo is paid. Who? Exactly.

In the end do we all agree it was a good signing? Ended up paying about 200k -with trade and retain- for 13 points, memorable moments and him coming back next year.

Keep up your good work @pharrow

Yep. We got a 3rd round pick for free and he's coming back next year. Will be a great mentor for Romanov.
