Habs Sign Marc-andre Bergeron

You do realize that we are down 'two' defensemen right? Markov & O'Byrne...Weber is Markov's replacement, he's been called up already...this is to cover O'byrne.

Bergeron cannot replace O'Byrne for what he does. Now we're stuck with too many PP quarterbacks. What will we do with Weber or Bergeron when our D will be restored?

Weber will go back down to continue his developement or Bergeron will sit, or O'Byrne will go down, or there will be another injury to a defensemen by then, lot's of possibilities, but that's the nice thing it gives you options for cheap...remember we are talking 2 months on OB (December) and 4 months on Markov (February)...this is a smart signing.

Good signing. For $750,000 on a 1 year deal, we couldn't ask for much more. If he can add 30-35 points and quarterbacks the powerplay this will look like quite the bargain. Curiously, why did he go unsigned for so long? He couldn't be THAT bad defensively, could he?

that's what i was wondering...

i'm happy to pay $750k for insurance on d. nice work.

O'Byrne cannot be sent down without clearing waivers first.

See that is why we don't pay attention to that Wikipedia *****! it is like reading and believing what ecklund says!!!

I have to say, considering our current situation with injury's, this deal makes perfect sense. Marc will provide some support for guys like georgie and weber, and i agree with the guy tossin hal gil under the bus already, hes just a very very large pylon out there!

So, what happens when all our defencemen are healthy?

I think it's fair to say that we're not married to Bergeron and he can be waived at any minute. He's a stop gap unless he proves himself too valuable (don't bank on that, lol)

Well, im not particularly thrilled about this move, although at the price, I suppose its not really a huge risk. I frankly would have rather seen Dandy - he can dress as the 7th dman and play 4th line wing if necessary, plus he's much more defensively sound - but Im willing to give MAB a chance.

Hopefully he has the whole league saying "jeez why didnt we sign this guy" - i mean he did score 46 points one year. We now have five guys on the back-end who have all cracked 40 points at least once. ;)
