Latendresse counters with the following comparable contracts which were issued this summer:

Byfuglien - 79 ovr, B, 3.000 M/yr
Umberger - 80 ovr, B, 3.750 M/yr
Filppula - 77 ovr, B, 3.000 M/yr
Malone - 80 ovr, C, 4.500 M/yr

All except Filppula are considered PWF.

malone and umberger were severly overpaid severly as off season acquisionts for to abismal and deluted franchises. We suggest a 4 year 2M or a 6yr 3M, their is many better players with more potentail and higher overall with identical/similar or better terms. Many listed above.

Based on the comparables you provided, were Weiss and Olesz also overpaid?

He will sign for 4 years at 4.000M.

were more than happy to match Rostislav Olesz (B) LW - 6 years 3.125 M 80ovr 22 y.o.

what is your problem guiallme surely you dont belive you have done anything to warrent yourself a 4M salary. You are not a top potential. You are not a top 6F, you have not proven yourself, please accept one of the offers given as they are very fair in comparission, or as you suggest we match and accept

Rostislav Olesz (B) LW - 6 years 3.125 M 80ovr 22 y.o.



and btw they were not overpaid, you where listed comparables which are former RFA and not a FREE AGENT SIGNINGS, out of RFA, not a 20year old... (Malone, Umburger are in a complete different path/era/age/contract)

we also wonder why you are expecting a contract of a proven vetran in his late 20s/mid 30s, you are obviously not yet a top proven talent and player in the NHL what so ever at this point, after offering so many examples, and giving you the option of contract preference we are losing patience with our 3rd line RW.

Mike Fisher (C) C - 5 years 4.200 M
Daniel Alfredsson (C) RW - 4 years 4.339 M
Brian Gionta (C) RW - 1 year 4.000 M


btw, without a doubt lupul is a notch ahead of guillame, mid 80s A prospects make that much GL not you.
Joffery Lupul (A-) RW - 1 year 2.312 M EXT: 4 years 4.250 M

My bad, I meant 4yr 3 mil.

due to payraise and multiple other higher potential players, and better overall as well, a 6year comparable to the better players at the same rate surely is fair?

such as olesz or dustin brown

we will do 6y@3.15

*** allows him to become UFA at end of term also.

weve come to accept guiallme stance on his playing ability, we expect Guy to perform accordingly and continue to work hard and improve for the Montreal Canadiens. 4yr/3M

Accepted.
