Waived: Cedric Paquette on waivers

[Milhouse40]

Not surprising...but a lot better than sending players like Pezzette down.

I beat @Adam Michaels what's my prize?

 

[Tuggy]

I underestimated how bad he was.

His game has fallen off big time.

 

[HuGo Sham]

the ghost of bargain bin

 

[wildD]

Don't think any Gm are stupide enough to pick him up, I guess Laval can get a boost with him.

 

[OldCraig71]

I am liking this GM tandem more and more as each day goes by. I ask, why did we have to suffer with MB for 10 long years?

Are they really getting a boost with Paquette ?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Like I said last day.
It's easy to fix this roster with too many players lol

 

[Habs10Habs]

I was never a fan of signing him.

Because Geoff Molson has a learning curve twice shallower than his peers

Paquette carved himself out 400+ game career and I commend him for that. He unfortunately is no longer an NHL player.

Hughes doing god's work

Class act @Tyson . Classy comment.

I don't think he will be claimed.
Nothing against the guy, he had a few decent seasons in TB but his career pretty much ended when he left the Lightning.

 

[Captain97]

Honestly he has more value if he clears waivers, teams may give a 6th/7th since he can be a serviceable 13th/14th forward that effectively doesn't count against the cap when buried.

Only way I see him go somewhere else is if he clears waivers and he is then traded. That way, the team acquiring him can send him straight to their AHL affiliate.

 

[Habs13]

About time, was worried he would survive at Pezzetta's expense though.

 

[Treb]

Last time he was in the AHL, he was a top6 player. He's definitely still a serviceable AHLer. Even Alzner was pretty decent at the AHL level.

 

[MXD]

He never looked like an NHLer with us. I'm afraid he's done. Near 450 games for a guy with is skill level is pretty good.

 

[Vitto79]

Tampa may take him back . He’s cheap

 

[Tuggy]

Tampa may take him back . He’s cheap

He's shit.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No surprise as he's the worse player on the team and is not an NHL player.

Won't get an NHL contract next year.

 

[BLONG7]

Maybe the Kings will pick him up!! lol

 

[Ezpz]

We knew he was signed for the Quebec factor after letting Danault walk. I didn't expect him to stay up with the big club this long though.

 

[Bacchus1]

Has he cleared yet?
