damn, I did not know that rule. That fucking sucks, because they desperately need to buy him outcshea said:Because he is hurt. You can't buy out injured players unless they are medically cleared by 7/1. As far as I know, he hasn't been cleared.

I've got a bad feeling Iginla is going there.MoGator71 said:Wonder what Stevie has up his sleeve?
My wild-ass guess is that he's clearing room for Niskanen and one of the big-ticket forwards (Vanek or Stastny).MoGator71 said:Wonder what Stevie has up his sleeve?

MTL acquires P.A Parenteau from COL. I believe Daniel Briere is headed to COL in return.

Trade Details: Canadiens acquire P.A. Parenteau and a 5th round pick in 2015 from Colorado, for Daniel Briere. #TSN #NHL #FAF
TheShynessClinic said:Great trade for Montreal. Which means it's a shitty trade for Boston.
This is not true. Parenteau was a (slightly) negative possession player because Colorado sucked at possession. But relative to his team he was a good possesson player. His CF% relative to his team was +3.7%, +1.7% and +3.5% the last three regular seasons.cshea said:I don't think it's a huge win for Montreal. Briere is clearly on the downswing, but Parenteau's a negative possession player who is more of a playmaker than a scorer. He also strikes me as a player who needs to be in a top 6 role surrounded by talent to be effective. If we view this as Parenteau in, Vanek out, that's a downgrade for Montreal IMO.
