They double shifted Lernout all last season! - no wonder they missed the playoffs!
My bad.

Who's better long term? Fleury or Juulsen? They seem to be similar in potential.
Juulsen is safer, Fleury needs to improve his defensive play. Both have good size, physical games but Fleury is the better skater, more speed, mobility.
This is outstanding! So happy he is signed. He must have done a good job at camp
Wow, that 2017 draft! Poehling, Brook, Fleury, Primeau. Not sure about Ikonen. If we get a potential starting goalie, a middle 2 center, and two top 4D's from this draft, that is dam good.
Sry if its been posted but damn the guys look pretty solid defensively....

With Cale Fleury signed, let's talk about last year's performance. Fleury was arguably the best rush/NZ defender in my CHL tracking project. Prevented over 40% of controlled entries (2nd of 146), forced the fourth-most dump ins. He's aggressive, smart, has recovery speed.#Habs
I don't think I've ever heard him speak French so he's disqualified.
Not really outside maybe a bit of work to do in his own zone at times like Montreal is saying, but this kid is rock solid and very physical with some nice puckmoving and skating skills, I like him alot, great potential...Any weakness to his game?
What's Fleury ETA, assuming no major setbacks or injury and with the benefits of Bouchardian tutelage?
Hope is a good thing...maybe the best of things.hard to say, we'll see how he does in the AHL. Hopefully we stop rushing prospects to the NHL.

I think the plan was to sign him all along as I don't think it would have been a good move to have him in the WHL as an overager. The only way I would have sent him back is to work on his defensive game but I'm not a fan of 20 year olds in the CHL so I would have rather had in the AHL. I assume they just wanted to see how the 50 contract thing worked out first before signing him.
The Montreal Canadiens should sign prospect Cale Fleury to exploit a loopholeCan you elaborate on how that works? By going into season unsigned he can jump past the CHL rule and into minors?
This isn't true. The Habs would have had to sign him LAST YEAR at age 18 for that to work.
And as you can see, Cap-Friendly does not have his contract as slideable.
