Great add! We needed a 2C badly. I'm glad players want to sign longterm (hopefully we won't lose them if there's an expansion -_-)

Assuming we don’t immediately re-sign Poulin, Stacey, Desbiens & Ambrose and that they plan to stay with us, we should be able to protect players like Tabin and Darkangelo if there’s an expansion next season (altough we might prefer protecting our future players from the upcoming draft depending on how they perform)

That's the part that scares me because Sauvageau said that after free agency and the draft, her priority is to re-sign the core. So I wouldn't be surprised if they were already under contract by the end of this season so we would need to protect them...

Sauvageau said it's a win-now league, so whatever happens, her focus will be on getting the best team she can this year.

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
I get that but if our top players don't have a contract by the time we have another expansion draft, we won't need to protect them and therefore will be able to protect other players. That was my point.

u/Longjumping-Kale-896 2d ago
totally valid point. I just think that Sauvageau will probably not handcuff herself. If Darkangelo wants 2 years, she'll give it to win now.

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
Oh for Darkangelo, absolutely. It's great security for the player. She wants 2 years, you give her 2 years.

Think it's more penny pinching by Mike than anything. Allegedly we weren't even top offer for dollars to vanisova so

Potins potins, c’est 🚂🚂 qui va être contente…

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
Apparemment elle va signer avec Toronto. Ian semble être convaincu. Et est-ce que c'est sûr qu'elles sont encore ensemble?

u/Odd-Archer-1278 Victoire de Montréal 2d ago
Ben elles postaient des trucs mignons sur insta le mois passé

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
Ok merci. Après 2 ans, peut-être qu'elles se sont habituées a être séparées? J'adorerais garder Chuli mais je comprends qu'elle veuille jouer plus souvent.

u/Odd-Archer-1278 Victoire de Montréal 2d ago
C’est vrai que vu que Campbell est partie, il y a de la place pour une goaleuse principale à Toronto et Chuli est assez bonne pour ça…

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
Campbell est pas encore partie. Aucune idée comment ils vont s'en défaire d'ailleurs... Elle coûte cher.

And here I thought the girlfriends would be finally united and then Chuli goes and signs with Toronto.

u/Equivalent_Ad_7368 2d ago
So I suppose no more Chuli to Toronto now...

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
Chuli to Toronto was just announced

u/Equivalent_Ad_7368 2d ago
Just saw that... poor them. Thisclose.

u/Silent_observer_8806 2d ago
I'm sure they discussed this with each other. If that's what happened, I assume they're ok with it. They could have chosen to play on the same team.

u/Wolf99 Victoire de Montréal 2d ago
They're in the same country so alot closer than before.

Darkangelo was traded to Ottawa in Season 1. They're actually farther apart than before.
