Good for Laval they will ice a decent team this year, the young guys might see some playoff action. When was the last time they made the playoffs? 1995? lol

 

[cphabs]

I’m down with this!

 

[Habsfan18]

Barber, Varone and Pelletier are some solid pickups for Laval.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Him and Barber will be on the NHL team soon enough, then put on waivers after Christmas and Laval will miss the playoffs again.

 

[Curufinwe]

He's the 4th former Flyer Montreal have acquired in the past six months.

Folin
Weal
Varone

Finally getting some good offensive guys for Laval! Nice AHL pick up

 

[Adam Michaels]

Big signing for Laval! Got one of the best players in the AHL.

Very happy with this one!

Him and Barber in Laval will be just great along with all the top prospects.

Can't wait.

 

[sandviper]

Hopefully this season, we don't get players poached as they go up and down through waivers. I mean, a couple I wouldn't mind getting snagged...

Great signing though.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Nice, I like when we sign talent for the AHL

If you mean the Habs AHL franchise, 2016-2017. They last won in 2006-2007.

Last time Laval the city had a relevant hockey team in the PO was 1998.

Serves us right. You’ve got two of our ex head coaches.

 

[Agalloch]

so how many centers we have for Laval ?

Evans, Varone, Suzuki, Vejdemo, McCarron ?

Looking like both Poehling and Suzuki will be on the Habs if no additional forward signings are made.

We're using all of their insider knowledge in order to, uh... someone help me finish this sentence?

Most likely Poehling and Teasdale too..

We did the same thing with Buffalo with Deslauriers, Flynn and Mitchell. Bergevin loves his 4th liners from non playoffs teams.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Title is misleading - it's an NHL contract - no reason to call Varone an AHLer - he played 47 NHL games last year.

 

[A55P2]

Great signing. We'll have a terrific AHL team this year!

 

[Habaneros]

and Carolina thinks they are crimping us from making signings!!!!


Sorry Canes ..

Varone $450,000 k AHL deal..he'll be in Montreal at some point (baring injury), you can book that.
