Waived: DLR/Pleks Waived

[Habs Halifax]

Done

Thanks for the idea.

Voted No. I think NHL GM's stay away from the heart issues.

 

[Habs Halifax]

We should honestly stop with this whole 4th liner thing around here, this team has four 2/3 lines and a ton of guys are interchangeable on any given night.

I agree with your intent and point you are making but I think we have Two #2 lines, One #3 line, and One 4th. Ask me in November and I think it changes. If Kotkaniemi gets sent back to Finland or to the AHL, the roster gets shuffled around. In this case, Hudon is not on the 4th line IMO.

 

[Belial]

Next to come off waivers is Deslauriers right? I'd send him down to the AHL no problem at all. Schlemko is due back sometime in November. This is what I would do...

1) Waive Alzner, not DLR. Lernout can be called up if we get a injury on D
2) Send Kotkaniemi back to Finland (or AHL) once he plays 9 games. Finland is my 1st choice though. Deslauriers take his spot
3) Waive Deslauriers when Schlemko is ready

When the dust settles...
Tatar / Danault / Gallagher
Drouin / Domi / Lehkonen
Hudon / Pleky / Byron
Shaw / DLR / Armia
Peca, Scherbak

Mete / Petry
Reilly / Juulsen
Quellet / Benn
Schlemko

Price
Niemi

I like DLO, I think he really embraces the logo and is extremely proud to play for this franchise and he's actually not that bad at actually playing hockey... Pretty sure he's really appreciated in the room also, he will stick around IMO.

 

[Tuggy]

I mean what is DLR's ceiling really? Hopefully a 3rd line C?

I like the guy but I won't lose any sleep if he's claimed. People here get way too attached to marginal players.

 

[DAChampion]

I wonder what line Bouchard will use him on.

Doesn't Laval have a massive roster?

I like him too and when I see the Habs players hang out and post pictures, It seems DLR is with them. I agree with you that he is respected and appreciated. The kid has not played a full season yet. I have hopes for him yet.

Bad news for McCarron... he gets bumped down. Last time I checked the lines were like this (Oct 7th ish)...

Agostino / Chaput / Grenier
Shinkaruk / McCarron / Froese
Jevpalovs / Vejdemo / Belzile
Audette / Evans / Alain

Lernout / Kulak
Lamarch / Plant
Sklenicka / Moravcik

Lindgren
McNiven

 

[Krnage]

i would not be surprise if a team claimed him.... team like Arizona or Detroit

 

[donghabs98]

While I would have preferred to move DLR for a pick or prospect I'm assuming no team was interested in that. I can't see the habs placing him on waivers if there was any real interest in DLR.

At this point losing De la Rose isnt that big. At best he is a checking 3rd liner. For us team we dont lack players for our bottom 6. I would be more frustrated if we place and lose Scherbak for nothing because at least he has the potential to be a player this team lacks which is someone with offensive talent that can score.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Theres a ton of Jacob de Rose's in the nhl and ahl. Hes easily replaceable. He does have a nhl future though imo. But he wont be missed.

 

[llamateizer]

I disagree.

I don't. both of his goals were when the score was 4-1 .
He is a decent 4th line player but i'm not impressed by him

Beaulieu, Jerabek, Tinordi and Sekac come to mind. Admittedly I wasnt too happy at the time to see these guys go but our marginal players rarely pan out long term for their new teams.

 

[Seb]

What a disaster

 

[Seb]

Yay for smart drafting

 

[EveryDay]

After watching Detroit last night, I can't see any valid reason for the Red Wings for not adding a great defensive player like DLR.. Ehn?

Send Rasmussen in the AHL and grab DLR.

2 years one-way contract, some shady heart issues... Bergevin getting good at his job...

I like him too and when I see the Habs players hang out and post pictures, It seems DLR is with them. I agree with you that he is respected and appreciated. The kid has not played a full season yet. I have hopes for him yet.

I was talking about Deslauriers actually...

 

[SOLR]

I'm just surprised that we signed this guy for 2 years and don't have a place for him in the lineup.

Because, you know, others did better than him.

 

[llamateizer]

So if DLR clears does that mean a team can then trade for him and he can be sent to the AHL without having to clear waivers again? I'm not really sure how the waiver rule works for cases like that.

Right,

A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers.

Why are people talking about waiving DLO? There is a ton more dead weight that could be trimmed before him.

He's not great offensively but provides a physical presence and some energy. It's not like armia does any of that. He's a good bottom sixer.

Not sure if the Wings have the capspace to claim DLR but they certainly do love their Swedes over there so it might be a good fit for DLR.

 

[llamateizer]

Nobody wanted him... I think he clears now.

Not necessarily.

Montreal want to fetch something for him. They haven't lost hope on him completely.
Montreal prefers to lose a contract than get a dead contract in return.

Done

Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for doing it. It's not that it's earth-shattering, but I figured with several people leaning on either side, it would make a good short term, shits and giggles pursuit.

Maybe some will take vCash bets on the poll's outcome.

 

[Fozz]

I expect a waive & trade to happen. Some team has to be interested, as long as they can send him to the minors.

 

[Sterling Archer]

If Nashville claims him then they have to waive someone. They are at 23 on roster with nobody waiver exempt.

Yes. Yes they will.

 

[Runner77]

As big as DLo's ginormous neck.

There are enough fringe players to send to the ECHL, should DLR clear.
