Waived: Mathieu Perreault Waived (Clears)

[OnTheRun]

Gimme some good garbage, as long as it comes with some good prospects and/or 1sts.

Possibly, and that garbage may even be traded FOR Perreault (albeit waiver-cleared Perreault).

Yeah, at this point anything we can do to facilitate a trade is good as long we get something valuable down the road.

The MB barginbin cleanup continues.

At least he had a hat trick in a game while wearing the Habs jersey which must've felt great for him and a nice memory. I doubt he gets claimed but good luck Mathieu.

Dennis Bernstein on TSN690 now says that he doesn't think anyone would claim Perreault. And he can see this end with a contract termination if he clears.

IF this ends with a termination, that will open up another contract spot. That could also give Perreault the chance to sign with anyone as a UFA. And if he does before the deadline, he will be eligible to play in the playoffs for that team.

That’s something I didn’t thought about that could make a loot of sense

 

[KevSkillz4]

So far, i really like all moves by Hughes and Gorton. They are going to make amazing job for this team!!

Perreault would throw away 250k for nothing instead of going to Laval?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

To be honest, he was a good signing but injuries and medical problems slow down alote

He has slowed down for 4 years now with this one.

Ill repeat it , Paquette Savard and Perreault were knockback of the Mailloux incident.

 

[Adam Michaels]

That’s something I didn’t thought about that could make a loot of sense

It could be something that will happen. But honestly, if it would end up with a contract termination, it would be Unconditional Waivers for Purpose of a Contract Termination.

So my guess is it won't end in a termination.

 

[Adam Michaels]

It could be to open up a roster spot for Dvorak.

 

[EveryDay]

Yeah, it was pretty easy to see that coming.

Why would Perreault terminate his contract?

Yes it’s not like if he was costly, it wouldn’t change anything for others teams

He was slowed down but he was one of the best Jets player in the playoff and under 1m, they where no risk with him.

cool he was 1 of the best Jets , too bad hes playing for the habs

 

[Runner77]

Zampa: His name? We shall call him … Zatara.

Dantes: Sounds fearsome!

Zampa: It means, driftwood.

 

[MXD]

He appears to have lost his spot to Flipper.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

I love this new management! Before I get hate, I’m all for Quebec born players. But keeping them for the sake of their last name helps no one in the organization win games.

Let’s go nee regime! New found hope!!!

 

[abo9]

Actually Perreault at 1M/1yr was the only move that made lots of sense this summer. The biggest issue is, well, it was by far the best move.

Yeah I dont get the outcry on this thread for a move that was clearly intended to be a quick fix because of injuries/lack of depth. 1 year <1M, what were people expecting?

 

[ReHabs]

They’d only proposition to terminate his contract if they absolutely needed the contract space between now and June 30th (or whenever it is FA starts).

Do we think that’s the case?

 

[ReHabs]

I mean it’s not the cap hit, the guy simply wasn’t capable of performing at NHL speeds. 1m or 5m it’s like whatever, he can’t skate or keep up so you might as well not play a man down.

 

[BLONG7]

Who is he better than?


They clearly tried to get a pick from a contending team and no one offered even a 7th. But he may get claimed on waivers.

I am sure they did try to get something
Hope a contender takes him
That said he can also help Laval

 

[beowulf]

That will teach him for getting an assist last night.

 

[ArtPeur]

Not really.. it happen during the season and they only sign for 1 yrs and less then 1m. A lot can be said on Bergevin but there was nothing wrong with this move

Nah still an useless signing. Bergevin brought more players to play on the PP but that's not what we needed overall. Lots of kids have proven that they could play over him in the lineup.

I would believe that Paquette at least bring something on a 4th line duty (but then again kids have been playing better). Perreault was already useless early on. I forgot he was even on the team until recently

 

[GrandBison]

If he clears, this will add value for a potential trade. Veteran that you can send down and call back when you need.

Look I'm not here to defend Bergevin and surly not his last offseason that was TERRIBLE but Perreault signing was a no risk, he doesn't cost us anything when he's with Laval and I do think a team will trade for him when he will be in the minor to have depth and experience for the playoff
