Good enough to bury in the A

 

[Le Tricolore]

He'll come to camp super motivated, and will be given the chance to make the team. He'll have to work his ass off since this will be the last one-way NHL contract he'll get if he doesn't.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Unless there is a trade that opens a press box spot he is going through waivers this time.

 

[The Real Timo]

It's nice to have 800K as just spare change... really nice.

Motivated like Tonya Harding......going to have to crack Weal and Cousins in the knees.

 

[Runner77]

Not valued enough to play and not enough trade interest for a decent return.

The Hudon sandwich.

The time he should be working his ass off is now, during the offseason, on his skating.

I don't know what he was crying about at the post-season presser. He can't skate. Why does he think he deserves to play?

jesus Laval will be stacked.

I didn't know Bergevin believed in using Molson's money for charity.

 

[Runner77]

Hugh Dawn will take Laval by storm.

 

[JuicyHam]

Pretty unexpected but good for him. Doubt he beats anyone for a spot but it's a chance to get things back on track if he does well in Laval or maybe get a waiver claim. He's likeable I think. If he made the team and played well I'd be quite happy.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Can't see where he could possibly fit on the lineup, even with a very good camp.

 

[Vachon23]

Ok

 

[Whitesnake]

Heavily paid to play in Laval and give the fans a good show. Fine.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hudon got the 1-Way deal he was looking for.

 

[MXD]

To be honest, I thought he was filing for Arbitration in order to get to UFA status.

[Estimated_Prophet]

yeah too bad stacked farm teams with legit prospects instead of career AHLers has NEVER spelled success.

We have added Barber and Varone and I believe that Evans and Hudon may be career AHLers as well. Sprinkle in Alzner and Ouellet and this team might be tough to beat.

 

[Adam Michaels]

To be honest, I thought he was filing for Arbitration in order to get to UFA status.

The only way an RFA becomes a UFA is if a team doesn't qualify them, which is what happened to Lernout, Audette, and Shinkaruk.

Filing for arbitration is only to decide what the next contract would be. The team then has the option to take it or not. If they don't take it, then the player becomes a UFA.

But filing for arbitration doesn't change your status as a free agent.

His offseason last year was very disappointing. He showed good flashes in his rookie season and I expected him to work harder to solidify his spot on the team and be a good top 9 guy. Instead it's like he went into camp feeling guaranteed of a spot. Considering the season he went through and lack of interest in him around the league, if he's not motivated this summer then I dont know what'll get him going.

This is what I meant. I thought the Canadiens would refuse to take the deal the arbitrator would've set (presumably around 1 and 1.2M).
