After, Carolina moves to Mexico and Buffalo moves to Carolina, Arizone then moves to Buffalo and every fanbase should be happier ( except Carolina but they’d have no fans by then )


What would happen if Montreal located to Quebec City?

I mean Kk isn’t actually a replacement level forward if you watch him play and ditch the analytics but yes he’s not worth 6+mil, Waddell is weird


Quoting: Devil1122
He's the most inconsistent GM ever


Im telling you hes 2-face

Each side has a different personality and decides how to do things with the canes in a different manner

As to which side is which your guess is as good as mine lul.

But man I dont think I have ever seen a GM do what hes done in a single year.

Canes Twitter isn’t even trying to hide the fact that it is revenge. Their latest tweet is literally “People don’t forget” with a picture of the $20 signing bonus.


They just posted something saying “goodnight everyone” with a gif of Aho, so yeah

How does it feel to be a Canes fan?
Your GM made some questionable moves but at least the Twitter guy is funny right?

I have a conspiracy theory

When Dzinger18 met Waddell, he told Waddell to offersheet KK to piss off Habs fans on this fourm

Well done Dzinger


I should have thought of that sooner 🤣

I didn’t actually do that, but I’ll bet you money that he ran into another person who told him to that. It just makes the most sense with this ridiculous offseason of his lol.

Quoting: Kotkaniemi15
Carolina with Kotkaniemi isn’t a top 20 pick team. Nor are the habs a team bad enough to rank. Also, shut up.

Carolina has two goalies that can’t stay healthy, and replacing Hamilton and Bean with Bear, Cole, and DeAngelo is a major weakening of their defense corps. Combine that with being in a tough division and they could very well slip despite improving their forwards with KK.

As for the Habs, they finished 18th last year, lost Weber for the whole season to be replaced by Savard (downgrade any way you slice it), and lost their most important centre for nothing. Hoffman for Tatar is basically a wash, maybe a slightly better power play. Losing Kotkaniemi as well would be a major blow for a team that already wasn’t good in the regular season last year.

To be fair, DeAngelo is a good player but he’s just a bad person

After a crazy day, I want to hear Canadiens fans honest thoughts on the offersheet

How suprised were you?
Would you match it?
Do you think Bergervin matches?
If so, who do you trade?
If not, what do you do to upgrade centers?

Yeah I’m curious what Bergevin would do if he doesn’t match. Dvorak? Eichel? Re-sign Eric staal ? Lol

Tank for Wright lol. Kotkaniemi would have been the main piece for Eichel and acquiring Dvorak was always just to ease Kotkaniemi in the 2C role.

Oh that’s what I would do lol, but Bergevin has a huge ego I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes a bold move.

1. Very, very surprised, as I’m sure everyone else outside of the people negotiating the contract were.
2. 1000% yes.
3. Yes
4. No one needs to be traded this year. Next year we deal with after the season.
5. In this theoretical possibility, there’s nothing you can do. You have already admitted defeat, and I guess Jake Evans is the 2C.

Biggest thing that's hard to believe is CAR has ZERO Cap Space as of this moment w/ the OS!! They are right up there w/ Tampa, CHI, TML and Vegas; LOL!
Waddell for Prime Minister tonight - because he too spends like a drunken sailor for a second/third rate club!

To be fair, DeAngelo is a good player but he’s just a bad person

He’s good offensively, but still not as good as Hamilton. And he’s also one of the worst defensive players in the league, whereas Hamilton is quite good defensively as well. And anyone with his track record and no signs of apology/maturation doesn’t deserve to be paid a million dollars to play hockey.

Oh my lord.

I went to sleep early last night so I missed the news.

Holy f*cking sh*t Canes tears of joy I suppose their owner and GM has been more bitter than Perry after the last two cup finals. Carolina's Vengeance is sweet.

Now things are getting interesting. At the very least, Habs will likely have a $6M center in their roster even without Danault staying there.

Will Kotkaniemis QO be 6.1? If it is could he theoretically just continue to sign that QO every year until he’s a UFA? That would Montreal’s decision a lot harder than just a 1 year deal and makes Carolinas move a whole lot dumber

It will be a 6.1m QO but EF said that most likely they talked about a long term deal/situation between KK and agent and the canes. Don't want to say he confirmed it because I haven't listen on read tweets on it

1. Very surprised, no one saw this coming and I think every Habs fan has put a target on Waddell’s head
2. Absolutely I’d match it
3. Bergevin pretty much has to match it, we can’t run Suzuki-Evans-Poehling-Paquette
4. We don’t need to trade anyone this year, just waive someone when Byron gets back, next year we trade one of our wingers and MB figures it out
5. Dvorak?, idk, at that point, I’d retool the team
