Prospect Info: Cale Fleury

[Mdamico]

Fleury turns 20 in November.

Yes, I meant turns 20 in November. However, he starts the season as 19, therefore making his contract slide

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Actually, that's false. Similarly to Scherbak in 2015-2016, Fleury's contract would slide if he signed am ELC right now because he'd start the season as a 19 year old (turns 20 in November). Because he'd be 19 years old to start the season, the contract would slide to next year ( as long as he doesn't play 10 NHL games). He would, however, lose a year of waiver exemption.

We can still pull a Brook?
sign him and send him back to junior?

Yes, automatic if you send him to junior. The exception is playing pro while being 19 at the start of the season. Your contract also slides in the ECHL and AHL, as long as you don't play 10 NHL games.

This seems like the best course for both the Habs and Fleury this season. I hear he’s looking solid in the Laval camp. Will he start the year in the AHL?

 

[Tyson]

Not sure why he has not been signed. He has nothing to prove in the WHL.

 

[SkywalkerQC]

The valiev and taormina trade will make place for him in Laval, I love this!

What about Despres? Gotta think he is on his way down there as well

Elite Prospects already have him listed as playing in Laval this season... Are they on the ball or what?

 

[SkywalkerQC]

Yeah, propably, but Ive been reading reports saying that its gonna be Laval or the Swiss league for Despres. With Moravick, Schlenika, Kulak and Benn/Ouellet, Im not sure that we need him with the Rocket.

I doubt they gonna play in Laval.

 

[Tyson]

You have to think Després is headed to Europe. Just my opinion

He should be

bueno

Bout time!

 

[yianik]

Good. Has been expected, and now its done.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

What I was saying all summer
If he was going to get signed, it would be after training camp

 

[Adam Michaels]

Very happy with this. He'll play in Laval. And even if he plays in AHL, his 1st year will slide. So effectively, this is a 4-year deal.

Lernout will be the only defenseman who was with Laval last year that will be there this season. Plan had a few games on a PTO at the end of the season. Other than that, this is a completely new D-Corps.

Last year: Taormina, Valiev, Lernout, Leblanc, Parisi, Lernout, Gelinas, Bourque, and a bunch of others who passed through.

This year: Moravcik, Sklenicka, Kulak, Olofsson, Fleury, Lernout, Melancon, Culkin, Lamarche. Some of them will end up in ECHL.

Big roster turnover.

Lernout and Fleury are the only Right handed D right?

Plant, Lamarche, and Melancon shoot right, as well.

Edit: Plant shoots left. My bad.

 

[Habs]

His brothers Theoren, and Marc-André must be happy.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Great, absolutely the right call. That kid is already super mature and will be a coach favorite in no time in Laval. Think Juulsen but smoother at pretty much everything.

 

[Habs Halifax]

And Melancon.

Ah K. Don't know much about him.

Just looked at the contract. He got the max 925k ELC. Isn't this rare for a pick outside of the 1st or 2nd round?
