Waived: Barre Boulet

[26Mats]

Unlikely since we don't need 5/6 dman. We need a top 4 dman and a 3rd line center.
Strome would be a good add.

oh, we for sure need 5/6 dmen depth. I'd take a top 4, but we'd need to give up more than a 4th liner to get that.

 

[Habano]

Sure, go for it, just add to the pile of garbage we've accumulated.....

 

[26Mats]

We already got too many forwards

true, but 33 year old Perreault, who doesn't like playing center is our 3c tonight

 

[salbutera]

Does Montreal take him?

Isn’t the waiver rule prior to Nov 1st the draft order from the summer?

 

[Kriss E]

Who? What? Why? Are we playing in the AHL now? The f*** is going on.

 

[ArtPeur]

another 13th forward french canadian
exactly what this team needs!

You know.

The team has a whole lot of French Canadians on the team right now. It's probably the most we have had for years.. yet it's also the worst start in years.

How ironic.

 

[The Great Weal]

That's just dumb coaching because Brooks needs to play there and ABB wouldn't be any different. Either we get an established 3C or we don't really need any other forwards.

 

[Draft]

Yeah, sure. I'd take a chance at squeezing any bit of potential out of him that we can. I think he's better than Brooks/Perreault/Paquette at C or W.

 

[CoopersFalls]

He’ll get plucked again long before the Habs turn

 

[beowulf]

More junk for the pile.

 

[MXD]

No issue with picking him IF that means Paquette is gone. Otherwise, why bother? We have to give icetime to Brooks...

He's also really not what this team needs, but whatever.

But if he goes back after November 1, he's ours.

well if he has talent, and it just hasn't come out yet because he's feeling his way into the NHL, he's exactly what we need.

But that is a long shot. it seems.

But yeah, we don't need a career 4th liner, or 13th forward - without size.

Stat watching he seems to have skill, does he play centre as hockeyDB says? I’d give him a shot 3rd line centre nothing to lose

in the nhl he's played more on the wing, reports say. Anyone know if he's played any center at the nhl level?

 

[WatchfulElm]

My hockey forecast magazine (made in Ontario) had him in the 30-40 pts range for this season. That's just a few weeks ago.

No surprise that he was waived by TB with their abundance of talent. But did Seattle really gave him a good look? 17 minutes of icetime, total, in 2 games. So it doesn't seem so. He's definitely worth a shot.

They gave him 8 minutes one night and 9 minutes another night - and he managed to get on the score sheet the night he played 9 minutes, registering an assist.

probably won't be available by the time we're eligible to put in a claim for him.

 

[Archijerej]

If we could simultaneously shed some of our abundant and handsomely paid wingers, why not? This would require a decision to rebuild, though.

Otherwise, I don't see much place for him. He's likely not a center at this level.

We could waive Paquette, and since Paquette won't get claimed, we'd have Paquette playing, and therefore fresh, in Laval, in case of injury.

Barret Boulet and Armia may compliment each other well, and they'd play with Evans or Brooks.

An/or we could try to move Lehkonen for a solid 5/6 dman.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Was expecting this. Now they can send him straight to the AHL. They're not forced to keep him in the NHL since their claiming back a guy they put on waivers. But they can still decide to keep him in Tampa.

 

[Bacchus1]

Too bad. Would be good to have another Québécois to keep the nationalists happy, and reduce the pressure on Drouin.

Definitely too bad

And we're done.
