Max Domi's days with Canadiens appear to be over
Fires agent Pat Brisson, who is a longtime close friend of Habs GM Marc Bergevin, shortly before becoming a restricted free agent.

Vegas? Are you kidding me? From what I've seen, doesn't quite fit the mold.
Huh? :eh:
Pacioretty hired Allan Walsh to become his new agent and was later traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, where he signed a four-year, US$28-million contract. Walsh is also the agent for the Canadiens’ Jonathan Drouin, who is a close friend of Domi’s.
so i'm unduly speculating.... :) joking he's too small for vegas, 5/10
Sure... Gohmert, you do the Gome

That doesn't make sense, didn't the Team 1040 report that Gillis' interview went "really well"?

I wonder who their source was? :roll:

Bill Zito is the new GM for the Florida Panthers

Mike Gillis was interviewed for the job.

Gillis must have turned it down, cause the 1040 crew made it sound like he was a shoe in for the position. Maybe they didn’t want to play with 5 forwards on the ice?

They gave up a third for Jake Allen?? Demko can get a first this year then.

There’s more to this trade. Montreal isn’t going to spend 15 million on goaltending next year.

Probably some salary retention? But that doesn’t help the blues keep Pietrangelo.

The deep rumour is Price to the Avalanche so this fits

Its crazy, but I think they could? Allen only has one more year, maybe they try to sell him at the deadline?

There's not many teams who could take on Price's contract, even if he were to waive - Colorado is a big one, maybe Anaheim.

If price goes to Colorado does his best buddy Weber go with him?

I hope not...fuck. We have enough powerhouse competition in the west

The question for me is what comes off the Avs roster to make that happen

Yeah Allen only has a year left on his contract, I just think one year for $14.85M AAV on goalies (lol) is a Price they're willing to make to give Carey some extra rest on the season. Plus the Habs don't have any big RFA's or UFA's to re-sign, just Max Domi who likely will get dealt. The majority of their roster has contracts already set for next season with cap space available.
Kotkaniemi has another year left of ELC.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Radulov is a really good player. He should have close to 1000 games in the league by now. He’s played 442 games. He came back for a brief blip with Nashville after his initial stint. David Poile must have really pissed him off. It’s hard to believe he went back to Russia for the better part of a decade. He plays fast, plays the off wing, he’s hard on the puck. Could we have a similar player in Podkolzin?
