Prospect Info: Rinat Valiev

[The Great Weal]

I don't think he will get called up.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't think he will get called up.

Guaranteed he will. MB even said it in his PC yesterday, both he and Rychel.

 

[Gabriiel40]

Needs to evaluate what they got in return for Pleky...were already burning the season away so why not just let them play and see if they have more potential than 4th line or 3rd pairing D.

 

[Adam Michaels]

After the 3PM deadline yesterday, teams are allowed up to 4 call ups the rest of the season.

The Scherbak call up was done before 3PM, so it doesn't count.

My guess is the 4 call ups will be:
1. Valiev
2. Rychel
3. McCarron
4. Lernout

I wouldn't be surprised if they give Audette a shot instead of Lernout.

Valiev, Rychel, and McCarron are all RFAs at the end of this season. So Habs will surely want to give them a look in the NHL to see what they have with these guys.

 

[Tim Wallach]

The biggest issue for the call-ups is with the team returning to health and not moving out any wingers, the forward ranks are crowded. Hard to see where McCarron and Rychel get ice time.

They could sit regulars, season's done who cares at this point.

 

[beowulf]

Émelin maybe ?

LOL he is not French...Yemelin or Emelin.

The above Scherbak connection is interesting.

 

[The Great Weal]

Guaranteed he will. MB even said it in his PC yesterday, both he and Rychel.

So who sits?

 

[Belial]

So who sits?

Schlemko/Benn+ Froese/Shaw/DLR/Carr...

 

[Adam Michaels]

So who sits?

Schlemko or Benn on defense. I'm sure Reilly will also sit out a few after he gets his chance.

As for Rychel and McCarron up front, I can see any of Logan Shaw, Froese, DLR or Carr sit out their turns.

 

[Habs]

He should play with Juulsen next year and mete should spend some time in Laval

but Mete is untouchable according to Lord Bergevin, so he cannot be demoted.

would be shocked if they called up Audette, a bit surprised if they called up Lernout. McCarron is heating up with 5 pts in the last 3 games so I assume they call him up since that's what they do, call someone up just as they are starting to show some offense instead of letting them continue to build confidence.

 

[Redux91]

This was before his injuries and struggles. If he can get back to playing with the same confidence, he'll be a pretty decent player to have.

What kind of injuries are we talking here specifically?



I mean this kid can play, he's already better than benn alzner schlemko here

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Leaf fans are just raggin on him to feel better about the trade

Are we?

I've only said good things about him.

You got a pretty good young player that should play in the league as a depth guy. He wasn't going to make it on Toronto so I am really glad we will have a chance elsewhere.

I've met Valiev a few times walking around downtown and he's such a nice guy.

 

[Scott Malkinson]

Knee injuries, mostly.

In the last 2 years, he's had 3 knee injuries.

One stint on the IR last 2 months.

He seems fine this year though.

Same 4 players I see being recall but I think Lindgren is already using one spot.

Well, there are so many bodies up front, I don't see McCarron being recall for now.

Ahh i see, so longest stint 2 months , thats about right for knee sprains, as long as he hasnt torn anything here's still hope lol

 

[montreal]

I hope not, so sick of them calling someone up just as they start putting up some points.

 

[tazsub3]

Why would you buyout Petry, he is trade able.

How bad someone has to be at judging talent to hope that petry is bought out. He has been brilliant more often then not this year, and had he been available would have fetched a know NGOs ransom... yea but montreal fans want him bought out.lol

He's been AMAZING!! Single handedly destroying our tank. If he gets bought out, Weber better be as well. Petty has been muuuuuuuch better than Weber

 

[Scott Malkinson]

He's not as explosive as he was when he broke out of that 2015 camp but he is still pretty mobile.

Best of luck to Rinat. I really hope he plays for you guys for a long time.

Also, random fact. Rinat is Tatar, just like Nail Yakupov. Meaning he's a Muslim Russian. Which isn't that common in the NHL.

funny, Bob M said very high things about this young man, and babbycock, so fig fans should read 1st

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm not 100% sure if Lindgren counts. I know they did a paper transaction yesterday with him, but he was back on Emergency Loan. That probably circumvents the rule and it doesn't count as 1 of the 4.
