Bergevin on Pacioretty, Subban and Doan...
It's an unusual situation given how quickly so many others have signed but we cannot ignore the other similar dmen that are also unsigned. Just about everything in our life is about market value and I'm sure Subban, Del Zotto and Carlson are waiting to see which team blinks first to set the bar.

When I was young I really liked watching the Canadiens (Savard, Carbonneau, Roy etc.), then I slowly begin to develop a distaste for them (Ribiero when he first came into the league diving, etc.), but Max Pac brings me back to enjoying the Canadiens a lot. I am very happy that they signed him for 6 years.

Galchenyuk apparently looking good as u.s. camp.

The pedestal will come soon enough. One good shift in training camp and comparisons to Flower will begin. Thankfully, the kid isn't homegrown. Otherwise, the expectations would be astronomical.

So... former Hab Andrei Kostitsyn still has no contract, while another former Hab Steve Begin was invited to Flames' camp. Interesting...

Hmm, I'd assumed Begin had retired. Not sure what shape he's in but I'll sure be rooting for him. What a heart! Seems like a player Hartley would like.
99% -perspiration; 1% talent. Sorta like a Bizarro-Kostitsyn.
He was invited to Canucks camp last fall but basically had a foot out the door already and was not in great shape, not to mention totally beat down. I can't see his odds being any better this time around but in a way he's a good training camp body to bring a few intangibles to the table for a few weeks in September.
Or maybe he's the first NHL scab...

French article stating that head scout Trevor Timmins (one of the best in the business) signed a contract extension and former Hab Donald Audette has been hired as recruiter for the Quebec region.

For years the Habs have had issues with young players once they hit the NHL (Higgins, Ryder, Kostitsyn(s), Weber, Perezhogin, Marcel Hossa, etc) but that was a result of the organization doing a second-rate job running the team. It's what put the team in the state that it is in right now.
One thing that encouraged me last year is finally using Hamilton as a place to develop real players.

Yeah I'm super happy with these moves. It certainly looks good for the future espcially now that Timmins no longer needs to take care of both the scouting and the development.
