swansee Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Is he competitive for a bottom 6 spot as well or is he ear marked for the AHL? Either - I woud guess the former but he is largely unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Regis2 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 MP DD EC BG TP ?? Armstrong Moen White Eller Bourque Prust Gomez Nok????? Geoffrion = probably AHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-1 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Either - I woud guess the former but he is largely unproven. Well,,,he is 24,,,,but had a good stint with the Dogs, with 12 PTs. in 9 games. IMO, he had better show something in training camp, in order for him to stay with the big club.

We'll be very happy to have him back in Hamilton - I think this guy has good NHL potential though and you gotta love the backstory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Careyprice Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hoping for him to be the 4th line center on the habs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_rocket Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hoping for him to be the 4th line center on the habs this year. Me too. Hopefully he has a strong camp and steals that spot from Nokelainen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Bah Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have a feeling That Blake may stay in Hamilton this season as one of the veteran AHLers the Habs have at LW.Someone has to show these rookies what it entails to go to the Show.Blake can inspire as a third generation NHL player trying to carve his own niche with the Habs on the 3rd or 4th line soon.Also the Habs would gain a better draft choice due to the trade with Nashville.

Habs_Hockey_Nutz Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 He is still RFA and not signed as of yet... no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie6898 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 He is still RFA and not signed as of yet... no? Exactly but nothing of grand worry, Would like to see him or Palushaj on the second line the upcoming season. Hope he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Regis2 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yup http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=400723 Probably destined for Hamilton or a 4 th line call up ( injuries ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yup http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=400723 Probably destined for Hamilton or a 4 th line call up ( injuries ) Agreed. I don't know what PG was thinking acquiring BG. Nostalgic factor aside, I doubt PG would've made a play for him if his name wasn't Geffrion. I don't see this kid breaking the top 6. With White, Moen, Prust, Eller, LL, Armstrong, Nokie, etc... he'll have a hard time breaking into the bottom 6 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When packaged with a second round pick in exchange for Hal Gill I had and still have no problem with that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatethosebruins Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 When packaged with a second round pick in exchange for Hal Gill I had and still have no problem with that deal. No but I feel like I dont want to trade him because of the nostalgia, it was the first thing I thought when I saw him wow id like to get that guy and have him be a member of the Canadiens. Now theres no room for him seemingly unless he works hard in camp and wins that open roster spot on the 2nd/3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a 2nd rounder, Geoffrion, and Slaney as a throw-in for the pylon Gill is an absolute steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't exactly call it a steal ..........yet . We gave up nothing for something. Out of Dalthon Thrower, Blake Geoffrion, and Robert Slaney, you have to think at least 1 of them will be a valuable NHLer or fetch us something in a trade.

I wouldn't exactly call it a steal ..........yet . I would much rather have 3 prospects than one 37 year old gill for a full 2011-12 season. I loved Gill but it was a smart move to make and the return was way higher than I thought it'd be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalevine Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I rfeally want to see this guy succeed. He seems to have real heart. He also scored a lovely goal near the end of the season that looked like a real goal scorers goal. One can dream right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely It's better to get something and hope that what you get turns out to eb a serviceable player rather than take the BG route and lose the player for nothing All I said was , " I wouldn't call it a steal .........yet " Steals are Cammilieri for Bourque , Spacek for Kaberle, McDon??? for Gomez ........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Bourque can still be a valuable player for us - in theory at least. Not that I'm expecting much from him but the chance is still there. Spacek for Kaberle isn't exactly what I'd call a steal either, they got rid of Kaberle's salary and that's it. We didn't give up anything of great value and if they weren't forced to operate under a self-imposed Cap, the trade would've probably never happened. McDonagh+ for Gomez+ was a steal for sure though, just like Niinimaa for Ribeiro or Boyd for Kostitsyn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
