After all that hoopla and hot takes with Price. Those times are done! Shame. I shouldn't have looked at the prompts on my phone from the leaks. And, this is certainly disappointing! I wanted a fresh start. This team isn't a Cup contender, they need scorched Earth! Weber/Price off the books would have been franchise changing from perpetual also rans to perhaps something else. Team has 6.7M in performances bonuses carry over which makes them 600k over the threshold. I really don't know what this team is anymore. Danault wasn't protected as a UFA wheras Armia was protected and now Phil's house is for sale! He's gone. Weber probably has a little value to a team like Nashville with a possible cap recapture penalty possibility and without a NTC/NMC. This team needs to hold the fort in the next 2 years and i dunno. Just stop taking bad contracts. This is a little what i'd do and i think Bergevin will do according to rumours so save the venom, its fantasy. There's much worse ACGM out there retaining money on Eichel and doing things that have never been done before. If you're not respectful, i'll dismiss you. You are not ALL supposed to like this team, its here to create conversation. Nobody should ever strive to have their teams across the board liked, that does nothing for no one.
The Price gamble paid off. Fleury was practicing with black aces during the Cup final. Had some decent potential as a hard hitting bottom pair, no offense. Not much of a loss tho Mtl is missing RD depth atm. Most of their blue line prospects are on the left side. I guess expansion and the name Fleury agree with each other.
