If MTL had lost in 5 against Toronto, everyone would still be against him

Honestly I am still against him, the players are winning dispite MB not because of him. IMO he has gotten extremely lucky that Price has kept us in the playoffs and Weber and Petry have been able to lock things down in front of him. Our top players are not scoring and our bottom pairing is still a hot mess at best.

why would you think Danault only gets 2.5 mil a season?

R.N.H for 7 noooooo wayyyy.

I agree our bottom pairing is a mess, but that’s on whoever decide to not play Romanov-Kulak and we need to tank to have good player with real talent
Suzuki acquired via trade
Caufield we got lucky

He also played a role in covering up sexual abuse while a member of the Chicago Blackhawks

From the TSN article:
“[Skills coach] Paul Vincent said a day later he was called into a meeting at the team hotel in San Jose with team president John McDonough, general manager Stan Bowman, vice-president of hockey operations Al MacIsaac, and [team sports psychologist James] Gary. Vincent said he asked the team executives to go to the sex crimes unit of the Chicago police department. Vincent said they refused.”

So Bergevin, Cheveldayoff, Quennville were not in the meeting.

His offence is down this year. If he had a year like last he could demand 4-5 million. I would not go North of 3.5 mill, maybe on a one year deal.

He’ll get at least 6.5 on the open market, and with the addition of him, the Habs will have great depth down the middle.

he got 5.1 for 8

He did sacrifice money for term, he's getting paid big time.
