What do you mean? He's somewhere around 7th forward on Laval's depth chart. Gotta earn that dough first!105k? Lol Molson is cheap.
Vejdemo is not a NHL'er. But a serviceable AHL'er.
I was hoping they re-sign him. He can fight Weal for the last forward spot, but most likely another year in Laval.
Another year in Laval. Laval needs to stock up this year! Create that winning culture... it's the right time
Somewhere between 4th line C/W and AHL depth.does he still have an avenir with us?
Depending on how they deal with Lynch, Hudon, Blandisi or their replacement, we could have a pretty deep team.

This is on the same day that Vejdemo is rumored to join a team in Sweden's Allsvenskan, Södertälje.
Agreed. Re-sign Ouellet, get that top line sorted out and we're good to go.Depending on how they deal with Lynch, Hudon, Blandisi or their replacement, we could have a pretty deep team.
I love those! The fruits of our scouting in one of the greatest hockey talent pools in the world.One year, just in time for Olofsson to come to Laval and be our next token Swedish centre with maybe 4th line upside.
I still think he can be a 4th liner/spare type of guy. Would be nice to have one and stop overpaying (Weal) or giving late picks (Ott, King etc.) for that kind of player.
Those tupenof players can easily be signed in the offseason (ex Cousins) or traded for and then flipped (ex Thompson). The problem with Weal is MB overvalued him. The problem with Ott and King is that they were just bad.
Having them homegrown save assets and often salary as well. You're not going to flip them (like Thompson) if you are heading in the PO. Of course, getting franchise players is better, but we need more of our prospects to be fringe players instead of straight out busts.
Having them homegrown does not save assets when you used a 3rd rounder to get them. Those types of players are usually picked up for a 5th rounder or even less. Given Bergevin does well at finding those types of players I don't consider it an organizational need that we need to use 3rd round picks on.
