Guys sucks, Ahl/Waiver fodder, if you cant beat Kulak, Merrill and Gustavsson for an NHL job = no big loss

He might never make it or turn into a depth guy but you are overlooking development time.
The kid is 22 and developping. On one hand, people want the Habs to not rush the prospects and on the other hand, they judge them if they aren't playing over vets in a cup run.
You know who's the second best RHD after Petry in the depthchart now that we know that Weber is out for the season? Josh Brook. And after? Niet.
It's not a good loss at all.
very common theme around these parts... just take a look at the JKO threads lol
sucks to lose him. Will be interesting to see what level he reaches, but quality top-4 dman imo remains very attainable for the kid.
Wish him the best in Seattle, will have a great opportunity to earn a regular NHL spot this coming year (and not unlike Weber, Giordano is a great mentor to get to be around for a young dman)

Agree losing him hurts but we were going to lose someone that stung regardless. MB did what he could to preserve as much of the team as possible while not giving away the farm dealing with the Kraken.

In all seriousness, we likely would have lost Fleury to waivers at some point this season. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we didn't have to give up any meaningful assets for Seattle to take him over Price.

Keith Yandle is atrocious in every aspect of the game. His bread and butter is PP and they even took him out to play Barkov in that role who has never done it, and it looked substantially better.

Norlinder played almost all RD the year before, but last season he started out at RD but lost his spot after his 2nd injury so they moved him back to LD.
Look at the D group for Seattle and tell me how the heck Cale Fleury will play a game there. I'd be surprised if he didn't hit waivers early into the season. Assuming Seattle doesn't trade their defensemen, of course.
It would be ridiculous to give anything more than a few rolls of hockey tape in order to protect a 34-year-old goaltender and his 5 x $10.5 mil. remaining contract.
Would rather see Price go. They need to get out from that contract and he's injury prone. Price will not help this team and they need to move on.

You never can be sure with young defencemen. He was clearly rushed to the NHL. That said I would be surprised if he ever becomes more than a bottom pairing D.

Who we could've had, if they hadn't of drafted the great Mike McCaron just before him.So you're saying he won't turn out to be Seattle's version of Shea Theodore?

I was one of the 49 people who voted for Fleury in the other thread! Don't ever argue with me again!

If anything, he's closer to their version of Shea Weber. I mean, a post retirement versionSo you're saying he won't turn out to be Seattle's version of Shea Theodore?

This is not directed at you, but moreso the content.
Because I've seen variations of this same post, every year, for years now.
I just don't get it.
