Confirmed Trade: [ARI/MTL] Jordan Weal for Michael Chaput

[Habs 4 Life]

Typical move by Bergevin
Obviously did not learn anything from 2 years ago
At least he didn't waste a draft pick

This is a good add for Tucson. Saves the Coyotes some money, too. With Dvorak back up, there was no need for Weal, who was acquired because the Coyotes needed injury fill-ins.

 

[Fazkovsky]

There's one season where the Habs has Kovalev, Koivu, Komisarek, Kositsyn (A), Kostitsyn (S), Kostopoulos. They has Markov as well.

Best season of all time.

But they all got KO’d by the habs

lateral trade talent wise.....none. time to check contract and age...

For AZ this is 100% about AHL salary. Chaput makes a fraction of what Weal makes if both are in the minors.

For Montreal they trade a guy who’s proven he can’t play at the NHL level, for a guy who might still have a shot.

 

[RABBIT]

Weal will be alright for the Habs, nice warm body. Definitely didn't fit with the Yotes. Harmless trade for both sides

 

[Michoulicious]

Hudon is as good as gone if Weal stays with the big club, that makes 25 players with Weise called up

Maybe a forth round pick?

 

[Magic Man]

Weal is a decent depth addition for the Canadiens for a cheap price.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

useless trade for the habs

literally 0 use of Weal

 

[Brock Radunske]

Based on the fanbases comments, it looks like they did a turd-swap.

yeah and everyone is in morning for losing shampoo.

At worst he's good on the dot. if he doesnt play a single game, he's exactly like shampoo

Habs are not going for the cup this year and MB already said at his earlier PC that he isn't sacrificing the future so unless its a hockey trade he isn't moving picks and prospects.

You should know that us fans don't want MB to sell the farm on rentals so not sure what you are expecting. If you think MB is going to trade a 1st and Phoeling or Brook well you are going to be very disappointed today.

 

[SabresSharks]

So useless player for useless player, lol

This is an example of HFB hot takes >>> actual trade.

Chaput sucks, wasn't he waived?

Weal for free. Even if he's bad, he's not that bad. Habs win.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Atleast Weal has decent skating speed in a straight line, so he should be able to keep up with Montreal’s speedy forwards.

You didn't like Espen Knutsen?

 

[jfhabs]

Weal is a right handed player with speed, it's worth the try. Chaput wasn't contributing at the nhl level.

 

[Agalloch]

Chaput sucks and Weal is at least playing in the NHL. Small win Habs.

 

[MasterDecoy]

At least this thread has puns

Both teams win. The Coyotes don’t want to burn money on Weal’s AHL salary. Chaput is much cheaper. Chaput is a good enough AHL player that he should help Arizona’s minor league team compete. Meanwhile, Montreal gets a guy who can potentially play on an NHL 4th line. Everyone gets what they want.

 

[SlickShot]

Minor move for both teams. This is Weal's third team already this season I believe?

I couldn't agree more. I don't want him to be a major player unless the player coming back has term ( say a signed Stone)
I'm ok with the rebuild for now, until this summer where he will have to get busy
I just think this move is useless

 

[sandysan]

isnt that the guy who took one in the jewels and left one jewel short ?

 

[HuGo Sham]

an unweal move by bargain bin

 

[Theodore450]

I like the price, makes mtl the Weal deal all of a sudden
