Waived: Charles Hudon & Charlie Lindgren Clear Waivers (Assigned to Laval)

[Treb]

If he can get a reasonable contract overseas to play full time, he's gonna take it.

Not many places overseas where you can get more than 800k.

 

[Rapala]

My guess neither gets claimed.

 

[EveryDay]

I’m sure they both got waived because of the timing of other teams still mulling over who makes their team and what not.

It might be the best time to send down the tweeners in the hopes of them slipping through.

You think they want Lindgren to clear? not sure about this....

 

[Canadienna]

I cant help but think there's some team out there that has an open bottom 6 spot for Hudon.

Hudon's not special, but I think the Habs have bottom 6 depth that most others dont.

+Kempe (LA)

I think "Hudson" get claimed, probably by OTT or DET.

We should have traded both while they had some value

 

[ZUKI]

We should have traded both while they had some value

The problem here is that they never had value

 

[Fazkovsky]

The problem here is that they never had value

They did slightly at one point but now we wont get a 5th Anymore

 

[Eegs]

If they both clear should stack the AHL team.

I feel like McNiven has perhaps surpassed Lindgren at this point. I am hoping another team nabs Charlie, leaving Primeau and McNiven to split time in Laval.

Hudon would certainly add to Lavals talent though.

who would have given us a 5th rounder for either or both? Both dime a dozen

Ouch. That must hurt for Hudon.

I hope he plays well in the AHL and gets a call up sometimes, mrb1p would be happy to see him back.

If that hurts, that means Hudon wasn't expecting it.
And, well, he should've been expecting it.

@Adam Michaels : Would it be possible to add a quick poll to the thread?

A poll that closes just before tomorrow's waivers at noon (I'm assuming that's the deadline).

May I suggest 4 options?

Which of the following will occur:

1. Hudon alone will get claimed.
2. Lindgren alone will get claimed.
3. Both Hudon and Lindgren will get claimed.
4. Both Hudon and Lindgren will pass thru waivers like buttah.

Thanks in advance for considering it.

????

When did they have value ?

Hudon would certainly add to Lavals talent though.

I hope Lindgren gonna play in Laval. I don't think Primeau nor McNiven can carry the load.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I like both guys. Not enough to keep them in NHL though. Claimed or AHL, I hope they do well.

 

[Eegs]

I hope Lindgren gonna play in Laval. I don't think Primeau nor McNiven can carry the load.

Yah, but I think the two of them together could. I don't think a team will pick him up though with his one-way contract.

 

[Justin11]

I believe both will clear, maybe, just maybe Hudon gets claimed.

 

[Redux91]

Lol come on theres no WAY Hudon gets claimed...who the hell, even bottom feeders, are looking at hudon right now going "oh yeah...thats the guy, thats what were missing baby"

 

[Habaneros]

guys,

Hudon is another Daniel Carr...another Sherback...another Sven Andrighetto....Mike Condon..the list goes on...

When Montreal waives you, your NHL career is pretty much done(that's a fact)...We seen it so many times....

 

[Phil Parent]

Maybe a team that has cap issues could choose to ditch their more expensive backup goalie and give the backup job to a guy like Lindgren.

what has he really shown to date?????

They wouldn't say that though. They'd say "Hmmm... maybe we can do something with this guy, let's take the chance."

I don't think anybody gets the piece they are missing off waivers, unless you're talking about the once in a blue moon Martin St. Louis deal that was TOTALLY a Maybe We Can Do Something With This Guy deal at first.

 

[Phil Parent]

what has he really shown to date?????

Not much but he's cheap, under a million, If a team has a more expensive backup, cap issues, and no better option for the backup role AKA you want to play your kids on entry-level deals and not sit them, Lindgren is as good as any to sit on the bench for 55-60 games.

They can claim Lindgren and ditch the other guy, saving some money.

 

[Goldenhands]

My guess is that Edmonton claims Hudon...
