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

[FerrisRox]

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

Montreal waived Francois Beauchemin and he went on to play 14 more seasons after that.

Montreal waived Ron Hainsey and he went on to play 15 more seasons after that.

 

[sandysan]

We should have traded both while they had some value

Didn't they try to move Hudon last year with no takers?

If he gets claimed, it's no big loss. He was done in montreal

 

[SlyIslands]

Domingue wasn't claimed, why would anybody claim Lindgren? He could be traded once he clears waivers if a team needs depth. Like the Bibeau trade that happened recently.

 

[Fazkovsky]

????

When did they have value ?

They both had decent rookie seasons in the A

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I believe this is the current list of waived candidates who are subject to a claim tomorrow:

I find it hard to believe Greer won't get claimed. 6'3, 210. 22 years old. Had 44 pts, 19g in 54 games in AHL last year.

Habs should put a claim in and take a look at the kid. We could use some size.

From Quebec too. So you know that means "un gars chez nous"

I had no idea he was from Quebec, but checked, yeah, Joliette. I can't see him clearing waivers, or dropping to us. I mean DLR got claimed real early last year. Still, hope Habs put a claim in.

long ago and far away......

I remember both of those events well...but im talking in recent times....nobody i can remember who we let go(been a ton) that turned in anything we regretted...

If you claim Greer who do you send down?

 

[MasterDecoy]

I

If you claim Greer who do you send down?

Next anyone asks “we should pick him up”. Ask: who’s spot does he take?

It’s not like you can pick off someone on waivers and send them down. They *have* to be on your roster.

 

[Number 57]

For those saying Ottawa could get Hudon, I just realised Martel is also on waivers. I think he has more potential than Hudon. And Greer, too. 3 french kids. How funny

 

[MarkovsKnee]

If you claim Greer who do you send down?

I'd personally waive Reilly. I don't think he gets claimed since he's on a one way @ $1,5m for the next 2 years. He's really fallen off after a great start last year. Maybe he can refocus in the AHL.

14 forwards, 7D.

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Domi - Suzuki
Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Weal
Byron - Thompson - Armia
Cousins, Greer

You rotate Thompson, Cousins, Greer. Move Weal to 4th line center when Greer plays and promote Byron to Weal's spot with KK.

I think Poehling should start in Laval.

Mete - Weber
Chiarot - Petry
Kulak - Fleury

Should be our regular starting 6 with Folin as the 7th D who plays in case of injuries. If Fleury falters, he goes back to Laval and Reilly gets recalled.

I've said it often: I don't think Reilly gets claimed. Folin probably does because he's a RHD, cheap and on a 1 year deal.

I don’t think he will get claim but I would trade for him after so he can play in Laval with Bouchard this year. I really wanted to draft him in 2015 and I still think he can be a NHLer

 

[Wats]

I don't see a reason why Fleury should be up. He had a good camp but it's more that there aren't that great alternatives vs him blowing everyone away IMO.

 

[Kriss E]

Wasn't there a gentleman's agreement among GMs to not claim anybody off waivers when Blue Jackets grabbed Beauchemin due to lockout?

Could definitely see Ottawa claiming one of them.

So we'll see how hits the wire today around the league.

Isles...Hickey and Ho-Sang interesting names

Yes, this is true. Bergevin has not let anyone of decent ( or NHL quality at all ?) NHL quality get away on waivers.

 

[Tuggy]

Definitely seems like a decent amount of untapped potential with Ho-Sang. Maybe someone like the Oilers take a chance.

Maybe MB gives a look but I could see him claimed.

 

[Habs4Life]

Ho-Sang is not better than Hudon.

yes he is just has major attitude problems

 

[salbutera]

yes he is just has major attitude problems

When was he last time Mtl market helped resolve a player with attitude problems?

Someone said Hudon was better I was simply saying he wasn't, not that the Canadiens will pick him up hes a virus to any team in the NHL right now.

 

[Treb]

That's part of my evaluation of why he's not better. He is more skilled but the full package is not there.
