Confirmed with Link: [CAR/MTL] Keegan Lowe for Philip Samuelsson

[417]

I guess the GM isn't allowed to make minor deals?

All because you guys are expecting a big Trade and are disappointed?

Seems reasonable...

 

[Price is Wright]

If Bergevin is still GM in the summer, expect Kevin Lowe to get a job in management.

Philip Samuelsson sucks another gem by our pro scouts

 

[crazyd]

You could read it just about everywhere....CAR will move some of its talented D-men to bolster their forward group...

Then this trade happens....

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Asset management, that's all it is.

Common refrain on these boards.

People act as though minor deals somehow prevent larger deals from taking place.

 

[googlymoogly]

You guys are really Lowe to complain on this great trade.

 

[poetryinmotion]

He reminds me of Saku.

He reminds me of Saku.

There's more Mikko than Saku in him

Per source, this is a hockey transaction resulting in the exchange of two humans.

I don't know about that one, is son of Ulf Samuelson

 

[Whitesnake]

Most likely a favor asked to Bergevin. Yet, I prefer Lowe to Samuelsson for wahtever that is worth...which is...not a whole lot.

 

[Tyson]

How do these deals even happen? Who evens cares?

 

[BPD Habs Fan]

I would have preferred to hear about a major trade but at least this shows Bergevin is working and not just sitting on his backside after hiring CJ.

Question: Have any of these minor trades ever amounted to anything?

 

[Scotianhab]

Assuming the GM of Carolina is doing a favour for his AHL coach.

Bergevin granting the favour and bringing a similar calibre D back.

 

[Runner77]

Negotiations 101: buy Lowe.

 

[Mr. Hab]

Kevin Lowe's son for Ulf Samulesson's son...interesting trade!!
(I much rather his assets vs his flaws! hoping he can be a good 6-7 for us...in case of injuries).

ASSETS:
The son of former NHL standout defender Kevin Lowe plays a similar, no-nonsense style behind the blueline. Limits mistakes and can be a physical presence. Owns a projectable frame for the big league.

FLAWS:
Lacks a bit of skill, so his offensive contributions are somewhat limited at the National Hockey League level. Is more of a depth player whose ice time needs to be monitored and restricted.

LD....gives us depth in emergency of 6th d-man

 

[Brainiac]

So... Bergevin is fine tuning the defense in St-John's?

Can anyone tell him we need some scoring help up here in Montréal? Because it doesn't seem he's aware of that.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Ron Francis doing a favor to Ulf by bringing his son in

Don't really mind the move, Lowe is younger so who knows, but both look like career AHL'ers

 

[montreal]

gets younger and cheaper (80k AHL vs 125K AHL). That's all I got, other then Samuelsson was a big disappointment, wasn't even that good of a 3rd pairing D in the AHL.

 

[Hockey POTUS]

Wow. He looks so much like Koivu in this pic.

 

[Mr. Hab]

LD....gives us depth in emergency of 6th d-man

Exactly!

LD depth in case of injuries...


LD:
Markov
Emelin
Beaulieu
#7) Hanley or Lowe
#8) Lowe or Hanley


''Plays a similar, no-nonsense style behind the blueline. Limits mistakes and can be a physical presence. Owns a projectable frame for the big league.''

Hopefully he's good enough to at least get top 3-4 minutes at St-John's.
