habby4ever Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Martin St. Pierre has agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens. St. Pierre will earn $550k if he spends the 2013-14 campaign in the NHL and $225k annually at the AHL level. He's an organization depth player that's fantastic in the minors, but has no fantasy value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Bergevin is aware that we already have a David Desharnais, right? Is the plan to play a 4th line of St-Pierre, Desharnais, and Parros? Joking aside, I think St-Pierre can be a decent 4th line player, albeit it I truly cannot see how we line him up with Desharnais on the same line.

BigTed3 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Odd move It's not odd if the plan is to keep Desharnais in the press box. If DD is also playing, then it's a terrible decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Why risk losing him on waivers when there's other guys who can play better in the role of a bottom 6 forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanCountingHab Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 It's not odd if the plan is to keep Desharnais in the press box. If DD is also playing, then it's a terrible decision. This is what I was thinking, I hope that's what this means. The alternative is, this guy is going to sit in the pressbox as injury insurance and we'd rather do that to a journeyman vs a still developping prospect.

Possibly, but it's not like Blunden was a young prospect and he's the guy we sent down for St-Pierre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Who cares if Blunden's big and St.Pierre's small? Blunden was playing horrible. St.Pierre is doing great so far in Hamilton and it's just another case of Bergevin rewarding a guy for playing well. I have no problem with this. Although maybe Nattinen or somebody would have been a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was replying to BCH's point that the team may have wanted a veteran to sit in the pressbox and was pointing out that Blunden could have filled that role just as well. I have no issue with the team inserting St-Pierre onto the 4th line at some point, but it makes no sense to put him on the same line as Desharnais and have two small pass-first players skating together with an enforcer who can't score. It's simply a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if we're talking game time decision, than this avoids even the possibility of Blunden playing which I'm frankly in favour of at this point.

It's simply a waste. I actually wasn't referring to you. I agree with you. I think that he'll just be in the press box or in the lineup over DD. Not at the same time.

Manatee-X Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Maybe we should be more careful about who we choose for captain of the Habs - our organization seems to lose captains at a pretty alarming rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
