The first two players that came to mind have played for more teams. Jagr (9) and Dom Moore (10). I’m assuming you were talking about goalies though.A fun fact: Montreal is Niemi's sixth NHL team. Among actives, him and Chad Johnson have represented the most clubs during their careers.
Well that sure was unexpected. Lot of teams seems to like Niemi this year...
Incoming Price out for season.
I was just being facetious.Again, this is more about Montoya than Price.
I guess Montoya's concussion is very bad if they had to bring Niemi in.
Kind of a slap in the face to Lindgren though considering how much a roll he's been on. This tells us as soon as Price is ready, he's going in regardless if Charlie continues to post stellar numbers. Would be ideal if they let Price sit as the backup while Charlie goes on his run, but meh, whatever, that is why MB gets paid the big bucks and gets **** on everyday by his fanbase.
It literally means Montoya's injury is a long-term and this is their way of just making sure someone like Fucale, and even Lindgren (who can simply be a paper transaction considering how close MTL-Laval are) aren't sitting too long on the bench and not developing when Price comes back.

Lol why does this guy keep getting claimed? I'd rather play my AHL backup over him
This mean Lindgren will be traded. They need some piece to add in a trade in order to find a Center.
late 90's? Why go that far? Just look back a couple of years ago.It's as if Montreal fans are reliving the nightmarish era of the late-90s Habs all over again.

That's an interesting thought. Could they really afford to this without knowing what Price will be about the rest of this season?

2015/16: Price out after 12 games, rookie goalie in (Condon), GM picks up Scrivens to backup.
201718: Price out after 11 games, rookie goalie in (Lindgren), GM picks up Niemi to backup.
I was pretty sure someone would put an end to his NHL career already. How many days to next waiver?
I actually don't know what the time frames are because I think Florida claimed him on Oct. 24th and waived him again yesterday, so that was less than a month. Maybe there aren't restrictions on how often someone can be waived, I'm not sure.
Are you sure? He was waived by Florida less than a month before Pittsburgh waived him
I don't know where this misunderstanding originated. Have seen it repeated a few times on the forums recently.
There is no restriction on when Niemi could be waived again or requirement he spends any # of days on the Montreal roster. Montreal could waive him tomorrow if they wanted to.
Yep, all 700k of it!Does it mean we'll be stuck with his contract when we waive him?
what in the literal **** is going on with The Habs?
