[Sens of Anarchy]

Lajoie to belleville? Can he actually play there this year or is that just for preseason?

Yup he turns 20 in November

From my understanding, lajoie can play in the ahl this year. But i would not be able to explain why.

 

[Sensinitis]

He will definitely turn some heads down there.

 

[Blarginator]

Wow I didn't know that. Belleville is going to be stacked on the blueline this year!

 

[Bileur]

Wow I didn't know that. Belleville is going to be stacked on the blueline this year!

It will be interesting to watch their development with Chabot and Zboril's coach being added to Belleville.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

So Hammond , Driedger, Hogberg, Taylor... interested to see how this works out

 

[RandomChickenWing]

I would imagine Hammond, Taylor and Driedger would be in Binghampton battling for the starts. Meanwhile Hogberg would get starter minutes in the ECHL

 

[BonkTastic]

If he's not claimed on waivers (I'd say there's a non-zero chance he could go to Colorado, though I'm certainly not holding my breath on that one), then we need to see if we can loan Hammond out somewhere. For instance, there are lots of goalies here in the NLA who suck way worse than he does and those teams I'm sure would jump at the chance at adding a free NHL-caliber (albeit backup caliber) goalie for free.

I still like the guy, I don't wish ill on him or anything, but we just have too many goalies in the minor leagues and he's the obvious one with no future in the organization anymore. If we can't get an asset for him, and can't convince anyone to take him for free, then let's just wash our hands of the situation and give him a 6-month vacation in the Swiss alps playing for some garbage team like Langnau. Heck... Lausanne HC's starting goalie is Cristobal Huet, for christ's sakes, and he's 42.

Since the Sens don't have an actual ECHL affiliate, they can't really dictate how much Hogberg plays. I am sure that based on talent alone, he would get the majority of starts, however, we would be sharing an affiliate, so that choice is out of the Sens hands.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Looks like Brass is back

Do we know which ECHL team we'd send Hogberg to? And which team(s) we'd be sharing the team with?

Edit: Looks like we'll be sharing the Brampton Beasts with Montreal

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Training camp is over. my predictions Formenton to London, Harpur to Belleville
Hoffman Turris Stone
Smith Brassard Ryan
Dzingel Pageau Pyatt
McCormick Thompson Burrows
Brown - 9 games
Oduya Ceci
Phaneuf Claesson
Boro Wideman/Chabot

I think Chabot stays up , when EK comes back , decision to keep him up or send him down.

 

[Masked]

McCormick on waivers today.

 

[Engineer]

Chabot and Harpur reassigned

McCormick on waivers to be reassigned tomorrow

 

[Boud]

Chabot and Harpur reassigned

McCormick on waivers to be reassigned tomorrow

I'm glad Chabot is going down. I think there's still work to do definitely.

Surprised they're waiving McCormick tbh. Hoping he's not claimed personally.

Formenton likely gets sent down whenever Brassard is ready to go for sure and Brown stays for 9 games and plays maybe 1 or 2 of those.

 

[BondraTime]

Chabot going down really surprises me, I'll take that one on the chin.

Pretty silly, but it is what it is.

Our D is significantly weaker than last year.

 

[Fandlauer]

Chabot is too valuable an asset to risk rushing.

Give him some time in the AHL and see how he does. Even EK started there.

 

[Tragedy]

When he was younger and lighter than Chabot is now

 

[armani]

Chabot's assignment is temporary, I think playing on a stacked Belleville defence is only going to benefit him. Wonder if they think EK is ready to go soon.

So there are 23 bodies left, with no contract I am surprised Forementon hasn't been assigned yet. I guess Brown gets 9 or less like Chabot last year.

 

[Sens]

I like the Chabot decision... if he's as good as many think he'll crush the AHL and get called up

I don't see an issue at all... it could only be 5-10 games

 

[Six Assets]

Chabot is ready. very surprised and disappointed that he was cut.

EK played multiple regular season games in the NHL before he ever played in the AHL.

 

[Panic at the Back]

How long do you think Chabot is down for? 10 games or so?

Would be a nice upgrade on the 2nd pairing and powerplay. I'm assuming his defensive deficiences were exposed the past couple of games. Give him something to work on and then he comes back for good.

 

[Tuna99]

Chabot s as good or better then Wideman, but not at RD. That's the problem
