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

[1909]

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

I don't understand your point at all.... You are wishing MB to look bad. That's all.

 

[1909]

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

Greer is a Quebec born kid. That's why.

He doesnt need my help to look bad he does it well enough all on his own I simply said I wouldn't be shocked if he made that move.

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

Someone’s probably going to the ECHL or a trade will have to be worked out. Primeau is the only one safe and should be the #1 in the AHL.

Lindgren doesn’t have a spot here anymore.

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

Either one of them gets moved and perhaps McNiven to ECHL? Not sure to be honest...

Weren’t the Isle fans throwing in Ho-Sang and Hickey?

Would make sense to have McNiven starting in the ECHL, Primeau starting in Laval with Lindgren backing him up. Primeau definitely isn't used to a pro starter schedule and he'll almost certainly struggle at times, so it's good to have a reliable backup who can take the starters load for a while.

I’ve seen trade proposals with Habs fans including Hudon and Lindgren.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

i would claim sprong (send down poehling and fleury) and see what he can do with drouin and kotkaniemi.

I doubt this happens though since we would probably prefer having poehling in the lineup than sprong.

We also just sent down hudon whos in a similar boat as sprong

If the Habs are going for "youth" this year, get HoSang....he had a good camp with Isles....
Let's take the gamble, be worth it .

I doubt Sprong or Hosang will be there for Habs...they get scooped by other teams.."fingers crossed" tho :0

 

[Runner77]

That’s just the point. A lot of players fans used to posture on the rumors forum are showing up on the wire.

The new narrative is going to be how they’re worthless when no one claims them.

And on to a new batch of fringe players to dangle.

 

[FerrisRox]

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

I can assure you this "Gentlemen's Agreement" was not something that was ever agreed upon by the actual GMs and it would have been collusion that would have kept members of the NHLPA from NHL jobs and would have been a disaster.

I remember hearing about it on message boards at the time that he was claimed, but at that time I was working in the hockey media and I promise you, it was never an actual thing.

Id definitely take a chance on ho-sang doubt MB does with his character issues though

Ho Sang was waived and his overall numbers are crap. The guy is a bust.

 

[Habaneros]

Id definitely take a chance on ho-sang dount MB does with his character issues though

didnt stop him on taking a chance on Kassian ..right?

Just took a look ,only 8 teams under the 23 man limit...ans some of those 8 are pretty tight to the cap limit..

CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

That seems like a lot of teams i thought today was the last day for waivers before teams had to be compliant?

yup, CapFriendly has yet to update today transactions....

Here's a full list of players booted to the curb today,get's those teams compliant...

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

when you realize Sprong was waived to keep Deslauriers in the lineup

I would still prefer DeLo to Cousins.

He’s actually an intriguing option. He’s the type of shooter we could use, especially on the power play. He had 14 goals in 47 games last season. If he can put up 15+ over a full season that would be some good depth.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No surprise both Hudon and Lindgren cleared. Two-thirds of the poll thought they would. Hudon will be a good asset for Laval.

Too bad about Greer, but it was wishful thinking. Habs have depth at forward. It looks like they want 8D too.

 

[Phil Parent]

Good, they cleared. Depth is always good.

Bad news for Hudon. Unless he DOMINATES in the AHL, his NHL chances are done.

 

[gillyguzzler]

I've seen Sprong play quite a bit. He's certainly talented and I thought he was going to have a 20 goal season for the offensively challenged ducks. What happened there?

The last time the Habs played the Ducks last year, he was very good. He's better than Cousins. Might be worth taking a small gamble on 20-25 goal potential.

 

[ottawa]

Late vote given that they already cleared but I believe both will clear, every team has someone in their system that is of similar caliber or better.

Is his cwazy father still around the team?
