When you have a player with a great hockey name like Pierre-Edouard Bellemare you have to lock that poo poo up asap.

A name like that basically guarantees you can schlep him to Montreal as a trade sweetener someday.

Yeah he bad. He can kill penalties and that's it.

He's part of a bad line that his bad coach loves. I fully expect his bad linemate Chris VandeVelde to get an even dumber extension.

I wonder how PK's homecoming is going to go tonight. I hope the fans cheer him every time he touches the puck and he scores a million goals. And then the jumbotron zooms in on a sullen and remorseful Bergevin while 'Hello Darkness My Old Friend' starts playing.

Edit: and then when he's leaving the Bell Centre PK stops to give his coat to a homeless man that turns out to be Therrien.

Here is my favorite Michal Neuvirth story:

http://www.russianmachineneverbreak...ompetition-yet/

quote:

You mentioned that Holtby is the weakest competition, but he was awesome in playoffs, don’t you think?

"He sure is a great goalie. But I can’t compare him to Voky or Varlamov, that’s what I meant. In comparison to those two, he played nothing in the NHL and that’s why I take him as the weakest of them three. I’m definitely not saying that he is bad, not at all. I actually like the way he plays. But he is the worst of them three, that’s all.

I’m not afraid because of how he did in the playoffs. I think that a year ago I played in the playoffs the same as he did now. They always say that the second season is the turning point, I’m curious how he will do…"

Holtby pretty much single-handedly beat the Bruins in 2012 (they were arguably a better team that year than when they won the Cup), and Neuvirth poo poo his pants in 2011 against the Lightning. Also Holtby is like a top 3 goaltender in the league and Neuvirth is rocking an .887.

Also I had no idea he cheated on his wife. gently caress that guy.

Neither of the extensions bother me that much. That might be a bit much for Pebbles, but at least we can dangle Neuvy in front of Vegas and protect Stolarz.

both of these guys are not good. prout is better at suppressing shots and better defensively in general, but he does it in protected, small minutes. quincey does it while being sent out there as a normal-ish second pairing dude. prout probably does a little worse against better competition, quincey probably fits a little better into the BJs system than prout's low event shifts do. this is actually a Fair Trade

This. They need a goalie signed to make available, they def don't want to lose Stolarz, and lost in the mix is its unknown what Mason is asking price wise for a new contract.

Goalies seem to be decently available so They probably can shop availability of other goalies after the draft if need be too.

Bellemare is meh. Not too big on that, and I would think you can get someone better for that rate.

Too bad about Fast. When I saw that hit I was thinking, "man Ovie - clean hit but are you trying to break his shoulder?". Seemed like an unnecessarily violent collision and Fast turned away from it awkwardly.
