Red Wings hire search firm in hunt for new GM, owner believed to be wanting someone with analytics background. https://x.com/HeleneStJames/status/2084998704507781256

Apologies if posted elsewhere, but the Habs sign KHL defenseman Reilly Walsh. Aside from being a right-handed shooter that used to play for New Jersey, I know very little else about him. https://x.com/thesickpodcasts/status/2074606298767712315

The Carlsson offer sheet makes me like the Demidov contract even more. If Carlsson's going to get $18 million and Demidov signs for less than $10 million, that's a slick piece of business by Hughes.

Deal comes with AAV of $5,357,575. https://x.com/CanadiensMTL/status/2072767299149238556

I've got absolutely no problem with this pick. He seems like the kind of guy who can knock the crap out of his opponents and maybe pop in a few goals while doing it. Even if he turns out to be a bottom-six forward, he can still create havoc when needed.

Most definitely. It was a day everyone could see coming, but it is still a punch in the gut nonetheless. All the best to Brendan Gallagher.

It sounds like it's a day-to-day injury. Only updating because Detroit and the Habs are fighting for playoff positioning.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin injured for "an unknown amount of time" during Detroit's loss to Florida Friday night. He fell awkwardly and hurt his right leg. He left the ice in a lot of pain, or so it appeared as he was assisted to the locker room...

I just loved when that trade was announced on TSN that year and how disappointed the insiders were that the Habs made a bold move like that. You could tell the Leaf fans inside of them just died a little bit that year LOL.

They already had Perron and they weren't any good then.

I won't lose any sleep over any lack of trades today. The Habs are a young, up-and-coming team but they are not 1-2 moves away from the Cup. If the asking prices were too high, good for HuGo not to force anything.

Probably means nothing, but: https://x.com/TregeWilson_THW/status/2030015267296739731

Five years, $6 million per year. https://x.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1994436171284320342

Just announced by the Habs. $8.85 AAV

Not sure about the rest of you, but given the Evans contract extension a couple of days ago and the fact Guhle is skating again makes this week a win for me. I didn't expect a big trade (or even a small one) and I can only assume Hughes had a specific asking price on guys like Armia, Dvorak and...
