He signed to Laval at the beginning of the summer so now Montreal has the ability to sign him to an NHL deal and call him up

Novak one bad hit away from retiring.. wtf.

 

[MasterMatt25]

What a steal

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Novak is a big boy (6'4), almost 25, who had an up and down college career. Kinda surprised if MTL wants to sign him to an NHL deal, but maybe he's a late bloomer who will thrive in the A and earn it down the road.

Sure, works for me. Side question, has future considerations ever actual manifested itself into something later on?

Next, Jakov Smirnoff.

In the modern NHL, nothing that is ever explicitly stated, really, no.
The closest would be when an NHL deal that is for "future considerations" happens simultaneously with an AHL deal between the two affiliates, as well.

Beyond that, it's mostly just doing favours and getting in good books; relationship building sort of things. Maybe in the future a GM will let the other team talking to a pending UFA with their permission, or they will trade a 7th rounder for one next year, that sort of thing, but it's never actually tied back to the original "future considerations" trade

 

[Ouroboros]

I think they may have had to do this to allow him to play in the rookie tournament. He would have been playing for the Habs team against Ottawa which would have been really weird.

Who?

Minor leaguer?

Ya my Google search found nothing on paper since 2004 so was curious if anyone remembered a trade of future considerations being finalized.

I struggled to click under the over-sized add banner at the top on ipad and frantically made it with little self control and now am underwhelmed.

Dorion is killing it this off-season

Yes, but usually it's nothing.

If Jakov helped you on a horse...

 

[General Disarray]

I thought Sens don't trade within division

 

[biturbo19]

This feels like the definition of a paper shuffling sort of trade. I'm sure there's some housekeeping that needed taking care of regarding his status with Laval and/or the rookie tournament or camp or something...but what?

That would make sense, but...

Jonny Tychonick is attending Leafs rookie camp, despite still being Sens property (though they don't play against each other in this camp)

 

[Stive Morgan]

Next, Jakov Smirnoff.

In Windsor, contract sign you!

 

[izzy]

Dont see why unless hes close with Struble/Harris and they think this could jumpstart him?

Teams can invite players to rookie camp even if they don’t hold NHL rights to the player.

Not sure if the rules for the “rookie tournament” are any different?
