Go Habs Go
I can't believe there wasn't a prospect thread for the Dietz but congrats to him on his first NHL point. he's now the 2nd pick from the '11 draft to pick up a point for the Habs at least.
Is this the last year of his entry level contract?
This is what I like about these callups.Yep.
It will be interesting to see what he does next year along with Ellis who has been much better in the AHL this year then Dietz. Hopefully Dietz can build off what he's learning in the NHL cause he's being taken to school several times as he's really struggled in the NHL and in the AHL he was on the 3rd pairing once they had a full healthy D corps.
Wasn't this year his first full year in the AHL? That and getting a call up straight to the NHL. Not bad for someone who played ECHL last year.
Which D-Men are graduating from Juniors/NCAA/Europe next season?
I don't see any Juniors graduating.
Koberstein will remain in the NCAA and is a long shot to even be signed by the Habs, let alone be of AHL-caliber
Nygren is in Europe and probably won't come over unless he has a guaranteed NHL spot. Which he absolutely should't have unless he can play on the left side.
- Didier might get a 2-way contract offer. Or not.
none.
Nygren I agree no way he ever plays in the AHL, it's NHL or SHL imo. Didier has been good, just no offensive game whatsoever. I could see them signing him, it would have to be a 2 way since it would be an ELC.
I could see them looking at NCAA/Euro/CHL FA's to sign though.
I also Wonder if Thrower isn't getting moved to forward.
I honestly find him solid. And he has chipped in offensively in a limited role.Probably an unpopular opinion but I think Dietz should start in the NHL next season if he has a good camp.
Subban - Markov
Beaulieu - Petry
Pateryn - Dietz
