Speculation: Who Will Be Signed?

[Tyson]

I would assume they are signing him, but I don't know why they haven't yet. I'm shocked something hasn't been announced with the Laval coaching staff as well, since it's one of the most important things for our future, seems to be taking a long time.

My concern is that the 50 contract limit may be the issue.

 

[Whitesnake]

Strange that we still have no news on Davidson.....Kid should be signed.

Edit : I was very wrong.

 

[BaseballCoach]

It's strange that a RFA hasn't signed when the season isn't even over? RFAs gets signed well into the offseason basically all the time.

He's not an RFA. He had an expiring AHL contract and the deadline to sign him to an NHL contract is next week.

Habs rights for Davidson expire on June 1st 2024, he haven't been signed to an ELC yet.

I apologize

Thanks for keeping me honest!

It's weird because he had some really good showings and with him being captain in juniors I wouldn't think attitude is an issue.

 

[Agalloch]

I think he will but Guindon is gone for sure.

Maybe they feel Davidson will accept some other kind of contract. Or maybe they just don't care if he leaves. It's a shame because I like this idea of building our own depth and Davidson looks like a competitive fellow with an outside shot at becoming an NHLer. However, if they feel the numbers game at fwd isn't working out (too crowded), I guess I could understand why they would decide to go with more vets above a fringe prospect.

Edit: or maybe they will sign ulhik before the deadline. That option is still out there...
