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

[sharknado]

I rather have someone like Hudon that gives 100% every shift and willing to eat the boards over Drouin any day.

 

[HABsurde]

I'm good with Hudon in Laval, if he works hard, he should be burning the league with a very good salary, which will help him get a gig in Europe next year or a call-back if needed this season and if he performs then, maybe someone would pick him up if he gets back on waivers.

The guy is a family man and wanted to play for the Habs so bad, for a quebecer with a family, Laval is the next best option outside of MTL...

On mid term, it's a win win situation for the guy.

 

[habsfan891]

I don't know much about Greer but he looks interesting. I'd pick him up.

How do waivers work in terms of priority? I could see some teams taking a flyer on him. Notably the Oilers.

Goes by last years standings Edmoton would be above us.

10 minutes until we hear that MB claimed Greer as his next Byron.

 

[CauZuki]

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

If anything we amplify existing issues and the media invents the rest.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Both cleared

 

[Milhouse40]

Both cleared, going to Laval

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

No surprise there.

 

[CauZuki]

No surprise there.

I thought someone would pick Lindgren up he's had some good showings.

 

[Tuggy]

10 minutes until we hear that MB claimed Greer as his next Byron.

Nope, everyone cleared from yesterday.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Still could get traded for another player that clears. This way the acquiring team has better control over that player.

 

[habsfan891]

Nope, everyone cleared from yesterday.

I'll admit im impressed by his self restraint

 

[Ozmodiar]

No surprise there.

... for 64.3% of us.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Milhouse40]

I thought someone would pick Lindgren he's had some good showings.

But this is where we could see both of them gets traded.
Taking a player on waivers means he's on the official club for at least a month, not they are AHL players so a team might be more willing to take a flyer on them and put them on their farm club for depth.

Loved how AV fans were throwing in Greer in the Drouin proposal, laughable

 

[EveryDay]

If we didn't put anyone on waivers today, it mean that Poehling or Fleury are going to the AHL unless a trade happen.

It will be Poehling, and rightfully so. Didn't have a proper camp because of his injury and no spot for him on the top-9. The only logical thing to do is to start him in Laval.

 

[26Mats]

Both cleared

A good reality check who wasn't happy about his usage last year, that we didn't use him much in our top 12.

Now he sees nobody in the NHL even wants him as a 13th or 14th forward.

He made good progress by losing weight. He needs to continue to improve his speed and his 200 foot game.

Jj is still in his 48 hour until traded period we could still make an ugly trade.

 

[De Montreal]

With Poeling, Suzuki and Evans emerging I'm not sure we should keep petitioning for Mete to be put at centre Seb

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....

Same could be said with lots of trades... Like MB or not, he managed to get additional (late) picks for lots of useless players.

Subban/Sergachev/Galchenyuk are the only NHL players I can think off that we traded, but they were all 1 to 1 "hockey trades". The debate is up with Shaw but I believe the picks will be more useful to use than him.

 

[THE HOFF]

Was expecting line-graine to get picked up. I thought he had some value.

What happens now in Laval with Lindgren, mcniven, and Primeau.
