Finally getting some good offensive guys for Laval! Nice AHL pick up
it's not like they haven't had them in the past, Terry was the best player in the AHL at one point when he was here, Hudon, etc... just that last year we called up the only goal scorers and left the team with nothing. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of that.
so how many centers we have for Laval ?
Evans, Varone, Suzuki, Vejdemo, McCarron ?
I think Vejdemo is like DLR, a guy that can play either wing or center but is more of a winger.
Maybe they move McCarron to RW.
Most likely Poehling and Teasdale too..
Teasdale is a LW.
Title is misleading - it's an NHL contract - no reason to call Varone an AHLer - he played 47 NHL games last year.
he's an AHLer and a very good one, flyers fans I know said he was terrible in the NHL. So unless you are talking another Froese or Chaput where they stick somehow but still stink, otherwise he should be in the AHL.
Why do people call this a AHL move? The guy played 47 games last year and did 7 points. It's a diamond in the rough move. Like Froese, D'Agostino and company he'll play a bunch of games in the NHL.
hopefully not, last year we didn't have anyone to call up, this year we could have several guys like Suzuki, Poehling, McCarron, Evans to call up so hopefully they help Laval make the playoffs but not calling up their vets.
