There is still no date marked for the WHL's return. So at the moment, I think Guhle can still play with Laval until the WHL confirms a start date.

 

[Vachon23]

Engels should have asked him why he bought out Alzner where it cost us an extra $400k+ of cap hit vs having him in the AHL for one more year.

By respect for the players and next years it will cost us less.

 

[Wats]

There's no way Byron gets claimed. Take Perry at min over him any day.

 

[Saundies]

Big disappointment if it happens. And bigger disapppointment if it happens within the Canadian division.

Yep. I'm not Nostradamus but I would bet a decent amount of money he's on the Sens by this time tomorrow. And he's going to bug the crap out of us all year.

 

[Runner77]

And then...he puts him on waivers. Encore des belles paroles.

Bergevin caught pants down in his own marketing fluff.

Why would a team claim Perry when they themselves could have just signed him to a $750k contract two weeks ago? They’ll just pick up a player that has no interest in playing for them. Juulsen is a completely different situation.

Cost $400k of cap hit this year and saved about $200k next year

Exaclty ! It was said that he didn’t receive any offer

You're assuming that he didn't receive any offer 'because' teams weren't interested, and excluding the possibility of a prior handshake / Perry's mind being made up already. Training with Suzuki, knowing Anderson, knowing Price/Weber, childhood team, Thornton on the Leafs, Canadian side.

He might have received more offers, but still chose the Habs. And it wasn’t to just showcase himself to other teams during their training camp. I have a difficult time believing other GMs would claim a veteran that actively didn’t just sign with their team when he could have.

Yes but when you look at the formation it was clear that there was no spot available on the top 12. I’m sure he would have prefer to go to a team that had a place for him on the top 12

We don't know the circumstances surrounding his contract situation. Maybe some teams foresaw this and offered two-way deals that he wasn't keen on taking. Maybe they weren't sure what he had left in the tank and liked his camp with us, etc.

 

[Roadhouse]

He knew what the stakes were in camp, he said himself he had to earn a spot in the top 12. Didn't work out for him it seems. Now he could end up in AZ or something.

I believe that is true but it does not mean teams change their mind and it's possible another Canadian team with a spot open in their cap will make that move to screw us over.. Sens can easily do that if their owner is not cheap

Sens let go a couple of young interesting players on the waivers today so I would be surprised if they have a place

I've briefly looked at the other Canadian teams and don't think they will claim Perry. Then it comes down to other US teams.

Well come on, it's true... imagine the odd look of seeing Mete, Caufield and Byron celebrate a goal with Weber and Anderson. A family.

Wow Samuel Morin on waivers.

I hope the Habs pick him up. He's big and can skate decently for his size. This means that he is amazing defensively.

Id pick up Morin Philidelphia playing with fire on that one id be shocked if he made it past the 1st waiver team.

I would pickup Jaros and would put Kulak on the waivers we would save 1m and Jaros can bring the same thing then Kulak I think
