He said in the off-season he wasn’t gonna talk extension til the year is over. I just think he’s mulling over retirement more than “I want a new team” I guess you never know but that’s at least how I read it. I think the chances of a move to MTL would be more likely if the team was competitive - but that just isn’t the case at the moment
Habs were never trying to win this year. The draft is in Montreal, and we’re trending to have the first pick in each round. we’ve added picks, and will add a ton more before now and the deadline.
1) Weber, take the year off. We can revisit this in September and see how your body feels.
2) Carey, take the year off to get healthy. Mentally and physically. We care about you, the person, first.
3) Joel Edmundson, take the time with your dad. We have no expectation of you playing this season.
4) We’re still in a global pandemic with no fans in our arena for the foreseeable future.
We saw this script 6 years ago. We were the number one team in the whole league, Price got hurt, and we became the last placed team in the whole NHL. We got to the cup finals, lost to a team $18mm over the cap, and without Price we’re dead last again. But add Bergeron and Letang to a team with Price and I like our chances as much as anyone. Would need serious cap gymnastics to make it all fit though.
