I thought they didn’t like the way he played C in Laval and had moved him on the wing.

Marcotte points out that Condotta has played the majority of his games this year, at centre.

Weird.... They gonna trade or put someone on waivers soon... Pezzetta ? Pearson ?

 

[WinterLion]

He's been playing much better lately. Stephens cleared I guess?

Yes, Stephens cleared.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

The Habs should pick Adam Ruzicka on waivers.

I guess we aren't all in on Adam Ruzicka?
Or we are bluffing with the Call Up and really do want him.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good. It gives Condotta another chance at the NHL. Glad they're taking a look at him.

Having someone with a couple of seasons under their belt sure could help not to mention more so once Monahan goes.

Guy is a PPG player at the NHL level — scored in his lone game in the Show last season!

Yep and he has skills.

Roy was sent down

Roy was sent down

They need a 4th line centerman, not another winger.

Condotta is a natural center and has played most of his games in Laval at center

 

[badfish]

Was surprised this guy was left in the AHL given he's a career goal per game player in the NHL

 

[The Real Timo]

Yes, Stephens cleared.

Oh thank god!!!

He is a GPG

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Good. Team is playing shaky. They need players who play hard right now to get back to better working habits. Condotta fits that mold better than Roy did. For now.

 

[Habs13]

Love it! Are we moving away from.p***y hockey finally!? A bottom line with grit and jam!?! Ohhh baby! Don't bench Pezzetta though. Play them together!

Quick, let's trade for Joel Teasdale and re-ignite that magic.

Seriously, happy for Condotta. Every time an undrafted player makes it to the big show, even temporarily, it's a bonus.

 

[Nicko999]

Good for the tank I guess.

 

[The Great Weal]

The Habs should pick Adam Ruzicka on waivers.

Well we can't anymore since we are at 23/23 for the NHL roster

 

[Habs]

can he fight?

 

[JianYang]

Didn't know Luka Magnotta was in the Habs system.

 

[LesCanadiens]

can he fight?

Yes. So this is clearly musical chairs now leading up to the allstar break. They're clearly doing as Gorton hinted the other day, IE, giving players a taste and having a look-see. This guy seems like a good team guy and battles hard.
