Player Discussion Charles Hudon

[Mrb1p]

He's on a way one, making $800,000 playing in Laval as well.

He won't be getting this anymore

Yes, but he'll make good money in Europe.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That was fast. Up for a game. And now back down.

I assume this means Byron will be back Tuesday vs Columbus. He's day to day.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

If anything, he replicated what Byron has done this yr perfectly.

Absolutely nothing

Strange though, you'd think they'd rather have 13 forwards for the trip to Columbus.

I thought he played a good game despite limited ice time, he will be back when one of our wingers get injured...

50k a year? Sorry ass salary.

I can remember when I wished I could make 50k a year. Thought that was big money. I was making minimum wage there for a few years. Once I made 50k, didn't seem like much.

 

[Kriss E]

I was surprised to hear his name mentioned.
Career AHLer or euro league player. Never understood how people actually thought this kid had potential to be a top 6 guy.

After the government comes in and paying expenses...practically nothing left.
If your hobbies are to..go for a walk or read a book...guess not so bad.

Basically right on the hobbies. At 50k a year, I don't go to restaurant or movies. Back in the '80s, I made like $6 an hour, paid $500 a month rent for 1 bedroom apartment in town. The next year I smarten up. Rented a 2 bedroom for $600, got a roommate, cut rent in half. Thought I was living the good life.

Some AHL vets makes 200-300k+.

Lol. There’s not many hobbies you can’t do for less then 10k, maybe you aren’t styling it but you can do them. Hockey, scuba diving, photography, sailing, go karting, et al, they can be done and at 50k/year you can swing that, if you really want to.

If he could fix his skating, he could be a top6.

He's in the same boat as Andrighetto. He's a top 6 kind of guy that is not good enough to play top6 on most teams.

You do realize even if he does not get an NHL contract next season, someone with his experience and good production in the AHL would get a veteran contract in the AHL so about $250K a year. If he were to go to Europe, he would also be making that, more potentially in the KHL, and most Euro contracts including housing and a car among other perks. Look at a guy like Belize in Laval he makes $175K and has never played a game in the NHL.

 

[Gravity]

Hope they call up Vejdemo now. He deserves a shot.

 

[Natey]

He played a decent game. But that's what he is.. someone who can spot play and not kill your team.

 

[Natey]

If it's Hudon in for Drouin, and KK is still out, I'd go:



He'll make much more money than you or I will ever dream of either playing in Europe or even the AHL.

Even if he's not on a one way, he'll probably end up with one of those contract that guarantees like $150K in the AHL.

 

[Tyson]

Is Byron ready to go?

Is Poehling or Belzile getting called up?

Poehling needs to stay in Laval and prove he can play there. Calling him him up was insulting to those who were more deserving.

 

[CauZuki]

He played a decent game. But that's what he is.. someone who can spot play and not kill your team.

He doesn't have the speed to be the type of forward he wants to be in the NHL. He doesn't have the offensize IQ of a Suzuki to slow down the play and make quick decisions once at that point.

 

[Kriss E]

If he could fix his skating, he could be a top6.

He's in the same boat as Andrighetto. He's a top 6 kind of guy that is not good enough to play top6 on most teams.

I don't think so. No big shot, creativity, stickhanlding, vision, IQ...he's just very mediocre in all those things for the NHL.

 

[26Mats]

Or $250k or $350k, as i think taormia, barber, and varone have.

Of course you can play hockey under a 50K salary..
I meant more, you play hockey, go to the gym, out to movies, eat out 3-5 times during the week, fancier restaurants on weekends, parties, boozy brunches, shopping, cafes.....starts to add up real quick.
Of course, if all you do very little of that with just a couple of hobbies, you're fine.

Hey man, some people are extremely happy living their minimalist lives. I'm a consumer whore though..so ya..

Poehling needs to stay in Laval and prove he can play there. Calling him him up was insulting to those who were more deserving.

What is needed in the lineup is also a factor in who gets called up. Poehling's size is needed in our top 9. He can't drive the play like Suzuki at this point. But he has the speed to get into position for a playmaker to get him the puck and the size to get position in front of the bet.

The three goals he scored were ftom using his speed and size. He barrly had the puck on all three.

And, when he does get the puck, he doesn't handle it like a hand grenade like McCarron.

Having said that, time in Laval can only be good for him.

Absolutely nothing

He threw body checks, so a little more than Byron
