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

[tony d]

Good depth pickup for the Canadiens. Guy should see action as a 4th liner.

 

[YOW]

meh both teams got what they wanted. Weal doeesn't take his NHL salary to the AHL in AZ and MTL gets rid of a guy they don't want.

 

[sergejean]

I don't mind it from a Habs perspective.

 

[moosemeister]

Weal was the worst player to suit up for Arizona this year by a far margin. Good riddance

 

[HABSFTW]

4 quarters for a dollar but that may be overvaluing both guys....... 25 pennies for a quarter.

Chaput has 1 more year under contract, Weal is expiring. Creative way to free up a contract for next year?

It's a nothing for nothing so this makes the most sense to me.

 

[Narwian]

Montreal preparing for parade. Huge moves on tdl.

 

[scrubadam]

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

Chaput wasn't going to play here and MB saved a contract for next year since Chaput was signed for 2 years and Weal 1. Nothing in the grand scheme of things just some house cleaning since Chaput is done as a hab.

 

[Canadienna]

I liked Chaput, but it seemed like I was the only one on the Habs boards.

For AZ fans, he's at least a good skater.

 

[vokiel]

Bergevin's hidden agenda is to have every single 4th liner in the league wear the blue-blanc-rouge at least once in their career.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

another former Kings to MTL

 

[Machinehead]

HF was doing great and this is the trade that made it briefly crash.

This one.

 

[NyIander]

Michael Shampoo is a big pickup for Phoenix

Well you’re getting an even worse player in return so have fun.

 

[Torontoborn]

why does Bergevin keep dumpster diving? Montreal is lucky to be where they are in the standings. Is he ever going to make an impactful trade or just hope all these 4th liners become top liners in the NHL.

 

[sansabri]

I guess we're not trading Benn. Boo.

 

[habs03]

useless trade for the habs

literally 0 use of Weal

No disrespect but hockey is all about details. Weal is a right handed faceoff guy. Mtl has no RH C... all are lefties..

Shaw who plays RW has taken a ton of draws due o that..

Faceoff % goes up when your on your strong side..

Dont matter weal is on the 5th line with Peca and Weise

 

[habs03]

Doesn't change the reason he could be useful..

 

[CountKong]

Weal you please all stop the puns. This thread has gone Chaput!

 

[Jigger77]

How is Weal's skating? Anyone know if he's got Weals?

(figured I would keep the spirit of the thread alive but actually seriously asking)

 

[Michoulicious]

This one.

With good reasons, such a Blockbuster.

You're not the only one. I like Chaput's jam. He's a decent 4th liner. Still I'll wait and see in regards to Weal.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Michael Shampoo is a big pickup for Phoenix

with this move, they are head and shoulders above the competition

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Does this guy atleast have some Weals?

Does he fit in the Habs speed game?

 

[avsfan09]

The Weal Deal

Weal see.
