Dan Ellis was on the Team 990 and he said all the right things, praising the organization and adding that he would be more than happy to sign here for the right price.
“If the right offer is there, 100% we’ll move forward with that,” he said of signing with the Canadiens.
Ellis knows Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn from his days in Hamilton, and he knows Michael Cammalleri and Hal Gill.
He added:
“Carey Price is one of the best up and coming goaltenders in the league. He has untapped potential.”
“It makes for a successful team, and that is what you want to be a part of.”

that my friends is how you play the funny. good job.

lol
i only did that as a joke – i posted three d men to florida and changed after biron deal was announced.
i’d still like a prize – maybe a cookie??

Well we don’t want to upset The Chosen One.
Deadline for entry was 11:59 – cheater posts Biron to NYR after Biron signed
I guess Biron only wants to play 10 games next season.
it’s dark grey with leather interior right??

Biron signs with rangers

Biron to sign with Rangers with a two year deal at under a million a year. PG missed out on a pretty good backup.

Sounds like fun – No possible way I can go so you are all spared of my bad misunderstood jokes, lack of real hockey knowledge, and very loud heckling of the opposing team at the game.
Who do you suggest we target for AK?
From Twitter account of Bob McKenzie:
Now confirmed, Meszaros from TB to PHI for a second round pick.2 minutes ago via web
Excellent pickup, dude is a 6′ 220lb. Dman. How does Philly do it? Do they have a 100 million dollar cap?
Also from Bob McKenzie:
Almost goes without saying, Dan Ellis is going to market. Negotiations with MTL never even got off the ground.

From Robert L. yesterday
“My contract speculation to Price is a three year deal worth $7,800,000, or an average cap hit of $2.6M, renegotiable after two seasons, as per the CBA”
There are a lot of players going to be disappointed and without work. Montreal knows what they will offer and no more. So the guys that play the wait and see game, will be out of luck and out of the league.
To many players on the market now. Clubs will turn the page on them very quickly, if they do not sign, and it is about time
LMAO!!!!
If Price dosen’t sign,we will need Ellis.
Tony- were the contest rules not clear enough for you?
I seriously doubt Ellis will sign here now. If he’s looking at all options (he has the right to, obviously), I don’t see how Mtl can give him the best offer, due to our cap issues. Not a big deal though, I’m pretty sure we’ll all be ok if he’s not on our team.
OK, I’ll bite:
Volchenkov -> Washington
Malhotra -> Leaf of Maples
Biron -> Rangers
Have you made your decision for Christ?!
*we could go on all day
Are you interested? I know you are, because it’s fuck or walk. You close
or you hit the bricks.
Kovalchuk – LA Kings
Matt Cullen – Wild
Marty Turo – Sharks
Second prize is a set of steak knifes…..
Third prize is you’re fired.
You get the picture?
I don’t think that qualifies as league minimum….

OMG, 25 minutes is nowhere near enough time to prepare. And I could REALLY use an Eldorado.
Sincey’s H I/O Free Agency Hockey Pool.
Rules are simple. You pick player/team duos (max = 3). First announced correct signing wins the pool.
1st prize is a Cadillac Eldorado.
He was on the radio. Read Mio’s comments below.
For Pete’s sake, why?
FREE TIMO!
Jesus H, you guys think Ellis called 990? No, they called. He was good enough to talk.
He politely said, I have a figure in mind, the Habs haven’t matched it. So, I want to see what’s out there. But all things being equal, I’d love to be here.
What the f#&k else do you want? It’s his free agency.
LMFAO
You forgot about Chris Higgins!!! :O
Keep drinking.
MONEY TALKS
-
using nhlnumbers.com and substituting PK for MacPac
we have $8,168,000 Cap left
- still need at least 4
forwards and 2 goaltenders
- put in already signed Ellers
($1.271) and White ($.85) leaving $6,041,000
- leaves around $2 ml
for Lapierre and Boyd
- Moore or Pacioretty ($.875) maybe
substituted for one of the 4 forwards if money is right
- leaves
$4 ml for Price and a veteran backup
- expect Price doesn’t get
signed until others done
- this leaves ZERO for injury call ups
unless the player is LTIR
Sutter has officially lost all sense of reason. The dude was already run out of town once and he brings him back. The Flames fans will not be pleased at all.
“Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.”
Holy s**t! Tanguay signs with Calgary for $1.7M.
So he’s screaming to get out of Calgary, gets traded to Montreal, signs with Tampa Bay the next year, doesn’t work out there, so he goes back to Calgary.
So sign the gorram piece of paper, jackass. Quit tellin’ us how pretty we are.
Oh please! LOL
What do you expect the dude to say to a Montreal radio station?
Komisarek said he loved Montreal as well as he walked out the door to free agency. Come on HIO!
“Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.”
Are we not supposed to report what he says? Come on, TripleX!
Money talks bullshit walks. He’ll be going where the money is.
And forget Ellis I want to know what Boyd is saying.
wonder where sal is today we need his energy
The same as Ellis. I want to play here but show me alot of greenback.
“Dan Ellis was on the Team 990 10 10:05 a.m. and listening to his interview with Tony Marinaro, he wants to sign with the Canadiens.”
That was not reporting on what he said.
“Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.”
Were you listening? He said if the offer is right, he will sign here 100%. I guess that means he doesn’t want to sign here, right?
Kevin, what exactly do you presume “if the offer is right” to mean? I conclude it basically means all options are open and he will take the BEST offer on the table.
My beef with your comment is that it implies that Ellis is willing to take LESS to sign here because Montreal is so attractive to him.
I may be wrong and if so I apologize.
“Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.”
Not sure how what I wrote implies he would take less money to sign here. He always said if the offer was right and that is what I wrote.
“My beef with your comment is that it implies that Ellis is willing to
take LESS to sign here because Montreal is so attractive to him.”
How exactly did you read into it to get that conclusion? There was no such implication.
Dude chill out man, Mio is reporting exactly what was said, it is not up to him to decide whether Ellis is full of BS or not. You can and have done that all by yourself.

Hi Kevin,
Aren’t you glad you get to work on a holiday?
Ditto.
haha
This is the best holiday around, Omit!
“Like”
Then sign for a year at a low rate. Then re-evaluate at the end of the season.
Yeah I don’t buy it until he signs. Sounds like he’s trying to make it Gauthier’s fault if he walks. Either he wants backup money or he doesn’t. Choose
Lats 2yrs $5 mill in Minnie… start the slump dance.
Minnesota is better with him. 50 to 60 goals in the next 2 seasons.
seemed very excited… cherr.
