Oh ya, also, if you STILL keep saying Nylander is overpaid after this, you're out of your mind.

That's uhhhh, one hell of a bet. This might be the one that costs Bergevin his job if it doesn't work out

Reminder that this guy had one goal in 26 games last year and is coming off of major shoulder surgery.

I mean, there's a chance he bounces back but.....ooof.

Gave him a “Tom Wilson” kind of contract, when there’s no guarantee he be that guy consistently. Way too risky. Could be another Clarkson contract

Nylander doesn't hit or play defense, but go on

Longer deal is better in this case. Bought a lot of UFA years whereas Domi you got 0

Could be like Horton too. Columbus gave him a major deal in free agency before injuries quickly ate the rest of his career. Clarkson wasn't an IR resident when he signed in Toronto.

Well this a horrible contract and means that one of Gallagher or Armia doesn’t come back next year

Risky AF. Bridge deal wasnt possible so 4-5years was probably the safe option. Hope it works out, and then his contract might look very good over time, with cap increase. But no garantee. Crossing fingers

Marc's betting his job as a GM on this precise contract, Alzner was a rookie move that has been forgotten. If Anderson comes back to his old form and I don't mean a 30 goal scorer, if he comes back to being a 20+ goals and 200 plus hits per year he'll be worth every penny of this mammoth of a contract and Bergevin will sign for another 5 year term in Montreal. If he doesn't pan out and keeps getting injured Marc will be canned.

Sincerely think Josh can come back to his old self when fully healthy, we'll need to readress this trade in a couple of years.
Hoping for the best and for once we can'T say the Habs offseason's been boring!

Pretty fair for both sides. Lots to like about Josh Anderson before his shoulder was pulled pork this season. If he returns back to his level of play two years ago, this is a homerun for Montreal. High risk, high reward. Sometimes you gotta roll the dice

I said this after the Domi contract.
Josh was not an easy contract, CBJ and MTL swapped head aches.

Josh is a good player. 5.5x7 good......not to sure about all that.


Good way to put it. Two unique forms of headaches that the other team wanted more than the other. Some people hate the sinus headaches more than the migraines.

Injury prone? He had 1 injury. That's not injury prone
