Not surprising

 

[BLONG7]

Amazing the year we have had, and it seems like half of MB's pickups, have hit waivers...

 

[The Great Weal]

He had a great stretch at first, but he has been a liability since then.

I just dont understand how they value chaput over agostino tho, i dont get that

I think it is because Chaput takes face offs, because honestly I can’t think of any other reason

Chaput is absolutely terrible. Atleast agostino dosent make game defining errors

 

[The Great Weal]

Chaput can take faceoffs and has been pretty good on the PK. Besides that he has been a disaster.

I valued both Agostino and Chaput over Alzner. I'm surprised they valued Folin over Agostino. I guess they want 7d available right away instead of risking not being able to call a d up in time for the game in case of a freak accident.

I also think they think Agostino has the best chance of clearing. But it seems a bit quick to give up on him after a solid first half, despite his recent bad stretch.

 

[Archijerej]

A depth forward that proved to be useful when we needed. Nothing to complain about.

In his last two games of limited ice time, Agostino twice turned the puck over egregiously for goals against.

Do you have a link that Byron is back? Last I heard he's on injured reserve and it looks like he'll be out a month.

Chaput is the next to go when we acquire a 4th line center.

Good luck Kenny, thanks for the help.

11 of their next 15 games are on the road. They need 7 D, and one can't be Alzner.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Agostino will be a much needed boost for Laval if he clears.

I'll say it: Bergevin might end up wining me over. Can't think of much else than a GM admitting his mistakes and getting rid of high cap hi dead weight like Alzner and Schlemko. The good half are the fast guys (Byron, Petry, Danault, Domi, Tatar, Reilly, Kulak.) The bad half are the slow guys (Alzner, Schlemko, etc..) Armia and Weber are the exceptions. I just hope Bergevin starts to value high end skill and talent in addition to his fondness for speed and character.

Another bust gone. Keep cleaning.

Good news for Laval, they need help badly.

Spring cleaning in February.......love it!!!

Pretty sure this move is to get Folin on the roster. Agostino gave us some quality games for awhile, which is what you want from a veteran call-up. He can't do it over the long run, but he did his job. He should be a help to Laval as they make a playoff push.

Yeah that makes sense. But remember, Deslauriers can play d in case of a last minute emergency. Would I rather lose Agostino to waivers or go 5 D plus Deslaruiers for a game in the unlikely event that there's a last minute injury and a Laval D can't make it back in time? I can understand the thinking of going with the former.

Bust ? He exceed expectations but he's better in Laval right now.

Folin is already on the roster taking Alzner's spot. It's for Byron or Weise.
