Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Tyler Toffoli (4 Years / $4,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>-Edmundson and Anderson are busts? Can we wait until they play a game lol?
-Out of all the goalies available, who signed a one-year deal, which is what we needed?. It's not like we gave up the moon for Allen either.
-The fact that he brought in every single pieces that we were missing while only giving up one valuable pieces that was a surplus proves a lot about Bergevin.</div></div>

The players themselves aren't busts, but the returns were. CBJ got a better and cheaper player and pick to boot in that exchange. Spending a 5th for Edmundson wasn't really necessary.

But as you said, let's wait and see what's coming next. I myself aren't that convinced about Bergevin for now...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Ehh...out of those moves only ones I would've done were bringing Toffoli and Romanov in. Anderson signing and trade was a bust for what we've seen thus far, paying for assets like Edmundson or Allen wasn't really necessary since there were other options available in the free agency, and well the rest of the players leaving the team we're vets with their contracts expiring, so nothing much done by Bergevin there...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wi55em</b></div><div>$5.5M !??!?? For a player which is suspected to be a 3rd pairing center - and remember he did got 50 points playing alongside Gallagher (30 goals) and Tatar (leading scorer) which are our best two wingers. His numbers ARE GOING DOWN as early as next season. I would see him as a Lars Eller type of player with more speed.

NOTE: We still have Poehling on $900k cap space which has the potential to be better than Danault.. I prefer to bet on Poehling and live with his inexperience for a couple of years than risking losing assets because of cap space and spending 5M on Danault.</div></div>

Points are going down....he had 47 in 71 games. Im willing to bet that he would have gotten 3 points over a 10 game span....
You want to say bye to Danalt because you might have to pay a really good center over 5 million for 4 years....and then let Peohling be the 3rd line guy? Peohling is a fine prospect, but he played mostly in the AHL last season and wasnt even that dominate. 13 points in 36 games isnt terrible but why push him to be more then he is...ask Edmonton how that system works.

I just dont understand why we hab fans are willing to let him walk because he deserves 5 million then to cry 2 season later when we need that exact player to help insulate the younger players.
Either way, its my opinion, I just like having solid players around younger player to help them develop.
