Great video like always, I'm also going to be at the Seattle game. My wife bought it for my birthday! If I see you I'll say hello but I doubt it!
Home opener is about to be a MOVIE
3:29 I don't think the 6 years benefits McTavish the most, a bridge deal was probably in his best interest considering the cap is rumored to be increasing significantly in the next few seasons.
I’m just happy I don’t have to see habs fans fantasizing about MCT anymore
This contract will look like a bargain in a couple years.
Verbeek has a ton of work to do with the restricted free agent contracts next year.
So glad we got him signed and excited he will get to participate in a portion of training camp. Can't wait for the season and hoping we get off to a great start!
Love you Zach
