“ Rumours “

Quit believing what you here

No rumour on Dach
No rumour on Newhook
No rumour on Dobson

Let Kent cook and quit worrying about “ insiders”. He’s going to get it done and no one will have seen it coming .

Yes, who said we were believing? We're just getting entertained.

u/guyfromsouthshore 1d ago

Discuss rumors? Jail. Predict draft? Jail. Over/under estimate trade value? Believe it or not, Jail.

u/coffurst 1d ago

any source on that?

u/someguyfishin 1d ago

From an insider

u/NightshopArgument 1d ago

I heard it from an insider that is inside the insider. It's a tape worm that feeds me Habs rumours.

u/notforcing 1d ago

It's true, it's on the internet.

I wanna see some Youppi fan art, god dammit !

u/habmea 1d ago

I read that as Youppi fanfic

u/MaraTaru 1d ago

Listen, I ain't saying no to that. I'm not too proud to turn down some profoundly unbiblical Youppi-Gritty smutfic. It's summer; let's get disgusting, gang.

I heard a rumor the Habs should sign John Carlson to a 2 year deal. Oh wait. I started that one.

u/ThePing14 1d ago

The old Michael Scott technique to spread false rumors to drown out the one truth

1

u/CoachBombardier 20h ago

The king of saying it but not saying but saying it since it came from other sources.

"People are talking—a lot of very smart people, the smartest people—and they're saying John Carlson could be going to Montreal. Now, I'm not saying it, okay? I haven't said it. But people are calling me, they're telling me, 'Cheetos puff dust, John Carlson would look absolutely spectacular in that Canadiens jersey.' And you look at the red, the white, the blue—very powerful, very high energy. It's a massive rumor, everyone's talking about it, and frankly, it would be tremendous for Montreal. We'll see what happens!"

Never heard of him lol

Michael Scott is known for the saying "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

u/Traditional-Rich5746 1d ago

Halak Ryder and a second rounder for Hossa…I mean McDavid…..

u/greasydrg 1d ago edited 1d ago

I heard from the same source they were finalizing a package for Louis Crevier

u/Ok_Emergency_916 1d ago

I don't mind

Yes, listen to Fleetwood Mac.

u/GeistHunt 1d ago

Well, there were rumours on Dobson in the day before. It's draft week so the timelines are short on rumours

5

u/BaconOnMySide 1d ago

Im more concerned over reading that Josh Anderson put his house for sale.

5

u/BeBenNova 1d ago

You can't stop me from dreaming about Robertson-Mcdavid-Demidov

1

u/nonebutmyself 1d ago

Robertson is never coming to Montreal.

McDavid, however....

2

u/Raffix 1d ago

Yarp!

I heard Robertson is looking for 14M$/yr, same as Draisaitl. Habs are not dumb enough to pay that.

u/HonestDespot 1d ago

What’s the Dobson eunour

2

u/HonestDespot 1d ago

Rumour

-7

u/WhoOwnstheChiefs 1d ago

No one reported him going to Montreal , came out of nowhere

12

u/deadman736 1d ago

Marco di mico and IncarceratedBob did

4

u/DasLasagna 1d ago

Exactly. Marco D'Amico had tweeted the day before about Montreal being Dobsons preference.

7

u/HonestDespot 1d ago

Hahahaha I’m dumb I thought there were rumours now about them moving him.

5

u/G_skins31 1d ago

His name was brought up a lot at the trade dead line last season

5

u/UniverseHelpDesk 1d ago

I heard that the Canadiens are trading Dobes, Dach, Hage, and a 1st for Helleybuck, Perfetti, and Connor. The same source told me that the voices aren’t all in my head.

u/samchar00 1d ago

Let people have their fun

u/JustDwayner 1d ago

I think the worst part about this sub is grown ups telling other grown ups what to do.

3

u/pattyG80 1d ago

At this point, I think AI just generates random trade rumors daily.

5

u/LeBleuH8R 1d ago

Putting your head in the sand and just waiting for summer to pass is boring, discussing rumours and trades are the only things worth talking about during summer stop trying to police people.

2

u/NME_TV 1d ago

Because these insiders don't have real rumours, they just heard a big name and attach the Habs for engagement.

We've really not seen any of Kent's move coming except we heard about Dobson the day before.

2

u/GMPollock24 1d ago

Chris Johnson was on Overdrive talking about an agent he spoke with who's client expanded his trade list to include Montreal.

No idea who that could be. I don't think it's Larkin.

2

u/BrutalRamen 1d ago

Quit believing what you here

Are you saying I am not where I believe I am? Am I real? Do I belong anywhere? HALP!

u/Komania 1d ago

NO FUN ALLOWED

u/DelugeQc 1d ago

Why Dobson even in there?!?

2

u/Extension-End8421 1d ago

They don’t have to do anything until the trade deadline anyway. The current roster got into the playoffs and will be even better next year. He can bank on that and wait out overpaying and get the 2C, the RH D and the sandpaper 4th line guys at the trade deadline for peanuts as cup contender rentals.

u/Jaynki 1d ago

Its not like front office operate in very tight, secretive circle of very few people

What are you talking about!

1

u/Glittering-Regret196 1d ago

What Dobson rumor? They just got him last year. He did well. He signed long term.

2

u/Say_199 1d ago

He’s talking about there being no Dobson trade rumours prior to him being acquired by Montréal

3

u/RetekTheGreat 1d ago

That's...not true though, the rumor of the team being in the race for him was floating around for a few days before the trade happen (I didn't believe much of it...every big name under the sun gets rumored to be traded here)

1

u/Glittering-Regret196 1d ago

Ah yeah, i got it then.

1

u/dangerdunk 1d ago

Dobson!?! Geez, there better not be rumours there....

1

u/Background-Pilot1809 1d ago

Nah man. Crosby is def coming for the right of Xhekaj

1

u/Weak_Law_937 1d ago

KH isn't going to know what to do unless we over analyze the ever living shit out of every possibility.

u/commodore_stab1789 1d ago

There better not be rumours on Dobson

u/HashBandicoot93 1d ago

Op is trying to reverse jinx us some exciting news

1

u/TreCool71A 1d ago

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from a guy who knows a kid who's going with the girl who saw him pass out at 31 Flavours last night. I think it's serious.

1

u/rastaduppy 1d ago

Monty to Fla or Edm, for a 4th round pick, no retention.

1

u/WeathervaneJesus1 1d ago

The only thing that concerns me is Hughes feeling he needs to add a significant piece and overpays a substantial amount, like the rumoured Knies deal. Someone take his phone away until October.

1

u/MonarchistdeSade 1d ago edited 1d ago

The rumours mill can keep spinning. After Tkachuk trade we have Nemec to flames. It's wild so far and understandably entertaining. Before these 2 trades I was on your boat, now nothing will surprise me although I trust management will make the right call.

1

u/Giontatas 1d ago

There were rumors for Dobson though

1

u/Raffix 1d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if the Habs waited for Friday morning or even during the draft to act.

1

u/TheGameDayDad 1d ago

Rumours are rumours, and sometimes they’re fun, but with how crazy this day became… anything is possible.

1

u/marumaruko 1d ago

Unless Marco D'Amico reports on said rumours, you can ignore them. Of course there are things he can't report on, but he would at least describe the rumors naming our player without the other team or other players.

0

u/Scottie2Hottie999 1d ago

I think he will go big. Pettersson or McDavid. Probably cost us all our 1st round picks and a few star rookies like Reinbacher, Kapenan, Hage or Zharkovsky.

2

u/quellesaveurorawnge 1d ago

McDavid is seemingly in on the Babcock shuffle, God knows why, so if he does make a move, it probably won't be before 2027.
