Waived: Alzner, Weise, Peca, Varone & Ouellet - All clear waivers and assigned to Laval

[Hostile Offer]

They hope to find another Byron. But the thing is Byron ain't that great. He reminds me Petrov a lot. Good player but wont improve your team if it's not good enough will just help you be a bubble team. With a plan like that they'll miss more than hit.

I don't see the problem with that. Every team in the league could use a Byron. No, he won't be a guy that'd put you over the top but I don't think anyone expects that either. Doubt that's the "plan". Acquiring guys like Drouin is part of the plan. MB does have a hard on for endless hard working depth though.

 

[The Great Weal]

Weal has no business in the NHL at this point

Uhhh what? Weal has been great. Cousins on the other hand...

 

[417]

I can see a scenario where KK gets sent down, no joke. He looks too slow for the NHL at the moment, so I hope they have a plan to improve his speed and explosiveness. If not, he'll struggle this season.

In the realm of "anything can happen"?

Sure...but I think that's a very unlikely scenario.

 

[Ozmodiar]

What happens to Alzner's contract if he decides not to report to the AHL instead tries to get another NHL offer?Does that void his contract with the Habs?

The Habs could terminate the contract.

Meanwhile, Alzner would be subjected to a psych eval b/c there's no way another team would give him more money.

 

[Habs]

Uhhh what? Weal has been great. Cousins on the other hand...

I don't care for either. Weal is a shrimp, we have too many

 

[MXD]

Pickles like in can't open the jar...

...Wow. Can't believe I missed it...

 

[ECWHSWI]

huu, I dont remember really, can anyone be nice enough to remind me, why was Peca signed for 2 years again ?

 

[Captain Mountain]

He might just want another chance in the NHL.

Berglund left 12 mil on the table to quit on the Sabres.

Sabres to terminate suspended player's contract, and it will cost him more than $12 million

I expect Alzner reports though.

 

[mitchmagic]

Wow our team looks terrible this year.

 

[OnTheRun]

huu, I dont remember really, can anyone be nice enough to remind me, why was Peca signed for 2 years again ?

"T'as jamais trop de profondeur"

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

And? He’s ready for the next step. Who develops properly playing 4th line with nobody wingers in the NHL?

Let's not pretend we know what's best for each individual player and that, once again, development and progression are linear.

Thus far poehling has shown that on big stages he is a game breaking talent. He has come under the radar and slowly through college. What's the rush now and who says he plays with bad winger on the 4th line. Weal is a great energy player and someone like Byron can stabilize a line like that. He progresses in the "4th" line spot and all of a sudden he's going to be promoted.

In my eyes.

Great
Weal
Not sure

Unless you want to call Lekhonen great....

 

[BLONG7]

MB is having the team in Laval, the Rocket renamed, the Waiver Wires!! Catchy. Must have been Gainey/Gauthier signed all this talent....couldn't be MB's fault...no way.

 

[habsterr]

Don't want Poehling starting on the 4th line, rather give him tons of minutes in the AHL.

 

[FloJack]

huu, I dont remember really, can anyone be nice enough to remind me, why was Peca signed for 2 years again ?

"Diamond in the rough"

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Where is the sarcasm face?

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Don't want Poehling starting on the 4th line, rather give him tons of minutes in the AHL.

4th lines can be used as a 2nd 1st line with grit and less skill. It's the new NHL

 

[Habs Icing]

I doubt it was meant for KK. However, when MB said that others have had a mediocre camp other than Drouin so there is no reason to pile on JD, I'm sure he was referring to KK among a few others.

.....Young kids that can be sent down to Laval.......If you don't want to lose them to waivers, the only players that fit that description are Mete and KK. Aside from Suzuki and Fleury.

I'm pretty sure he is not happy with KK's performance. It would not surprise me if he was sent to Laval.

 

[CauZuki]

huu, I dont remember really, can anyone be nice enough to remind me, why was Peca signed for 2 years again ?

The real question is why he gave another 2 to Reilly?

 

[The Great Weal]

Great
Weal
Not sure

Unless you want to call Lekhonen great....

Weal has been great in preseason, that doesnt mean he is guaranteed to be great in the regular season.

I expect Lehkonen to still miss soccer nets from 2 feet away playing with Domi and Suzuki.

It's Weal, not Cousins, that has the real potential to replace Shaw - even to surpass him.

Suzuki replaces Drouin.

Hopefully Lehkonen hits the soccer nets.

And Poehling bumps Drouin out of the top 9.

Tatar Danault Gallagher
Lehkonen Domi Suzuki
Poehling Kotkaniemi Weal
Byron Drouin(?) Armia (Drouin as the 4c! Hard to see where he fits)

 

[Tighthead]

huu, I dont remember really, can anyone be nice enough to remind me, why was Peca signed for 2 years again ?

So he would pass waivers.

Do you even 3D chess, bro?

 

[De Montreal]

Maybe Peca get picked. Or mayyyyyyyybe Ouellet. Probably no one.

 

[Mrb1p]

And Weal to produce less than him while gettint more pp minutes...

Berglund walked away from the game. He needed time off. It wasn't a ploy to switch teams.
