The most famous person to visit my profile is former NHL player Maxim Lapierre.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Bergevin hired as GM.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@ChaissonSpencer And don't get me wrong, I like the player but he has not progressed at all the last few seasons.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@ChaissonSpencer How so? Because I've seen from you the last few days he's an untouchable and that makes no sense.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@ByMHarrington Or maybe a GM shouldn't give one out if they're not willing to live with the consequences of it! Don't trade the player if you don't like the options.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@mndamico Does arbitration only award a one way contract? I'm still not understanding the benifit for Dach.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@23MAlyssa All fair points.
I don't see any scenario where the Habs give him multiple years. I think he either decides to sign QO or goes to arb and loses. Or if he somehow wins the Habs will walk away and he still doesn't get a multi year deal.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@23MAlyssa He has a qualifying offer he can sign. He's likely getting less than that in arbitration. Where does this create pressure for Mtl to give him more than a one year offer? Sorry, not trying to be combative. I just don't see the logic. His QO expires July 15.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@23MAlyssa He can only get one year through arbitration, not sure how filing gets him an additional one if Habs are only offering one year.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@23MAlyssa @CanadiensEh If that was his concern, why not just sign the qualifying offer? The only possible reason to go to arbitration is because he believes he can get more.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@PascalL3884 I think there's a lot of curiosity in this instance, in some cases, even anger, no idea why, for such an unusual case. Typically these situations, the guy just takes the qualifying offer.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@PascalL3884 Yes, that's already been said. One difference is Struble could request a 2 year deal from arb last year, Dach cannot.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@PascalL3884 @CanadiensEh If that was the case, he would just accept the qualifying offer that already has a raise in it.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@CanadiensEh Sure, but why would he need arbitration for that? I'm not sure why people would be bothered by him filling. I can't see him getting a raise.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@ChaissonSpencer Montreal doesn't have their 2027 3rd. They can only offer sheet at the top tier.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@Lancer2133 @fnveenie Probably UFA years that I didn't initially realize.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@sashalaGarde @fnveenie Less of an issue now that I understand there's two UFA years in there.

[Stefan @moskstef]

Demidov is going to sign the same contract as Lane Hutson.

[Stefan @moskstef]

@TeriMadio @mndamico New contract length rule is September.
There was cap issues for Vegas that they had to wait for the new season. Similar to Price's issues in the past.
