As of tonight, I’m told, even though he is not going to receive a qualifying offer from the Canadiens, Denis Gurianov returning to MTL is not completely ruled out. I think it will depend on certain things Hughes and Gorton try to do in the days leading up to the draft. – Marc Antoine Godin on Twitte

Why not if we can get rid of Armia. They’re kind of the same type of needle mover to me
He isnt worth 3 million or so that the QO is but if they can move a few bodies out i wouldnt mind a 1-2 year deal arpund 1.5 million
Gotta move out some dead weight wingers first. Armia, Hoffman, Pitlick.
They want to see if they can get him to sign for lower than his qualifying offer. I don’t hate that honestly. A one year maybe two year deal 1.5-2mil AAV would be decent, but he’s not worth the 3mil QO. The ability is there but as was the problem in Dallas, the consistency is not lol
I don’t see the upside in keeping this guy, he’s a Russian version of Drouin. Skilled, low-compete player with long stretches of complete invisibility .
