Confirmed with Link: Florida Panthers Claim Noah Juulsen

[Tabarouette]

I mean, the guy had a bright future ahead of him but his body is broken so, i'm more sad about that part than seeing him go

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Non factor for us, nothing to be upset about

Hope he gets his career back on track

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Tyler Johnson can be placed on waivers but oh, not Byron. This could have been avoided.

Byron has a much higher impact in a game that a guy like Juulsen does

Womp womp @Mats26

I'm disappointed.

What I'm pissed at is that they didn't find him a league in Europe to play in in the Fall, even a 2nd division league. That way, even if he spent a lot of time in the press box, he still would have played a significant amount this year. Now, with Perry and Frolik on waivers, they actually have room for Juulsen under the cap.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Guessing Poehling will be the next one to go...so from 2009-2016 in terms of first round picks, we have Drouin to show for it.

Not the point.

Is Byron better than Johnson?

If Johnson can be exposed so could Byron. Juulsen didn't have to be lost like that. Of course, maybe there is info we're not privy to about Juulsen's prognosis. I'm hoping the decision hinged on info we don't have even if I don't wish the player anything bad.

Byron is a very good hockey player if he’s healthy. For a team that struggled on the PK and is playing the Leafs 10x this season, he’ll be a key player.

 

[1909]

Too bad that we lost him due to a numbers game.

Right. I would had prefer that they put Mete on waivers or another forward. Juulsen will be a very good player in Florida.

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Unfortunately injuries derailed his development.

He wasn't good at all in his time up over the past 3 seasons.

Doubt Habs will regret this in any way in the future.

Wishing him the best obviously.

Dunno, I thought he was ok, guess we’ll never know what could have been if he wasnt hurt, add him to the list of failed first rounders.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Anybody else get claimed? From across the NHL?

 

[The Great Weal]

Tampa had the intention of clearing a lot of cap space. We can manage by sending down significantly lesser players than Byron in order to keep him and make the team better.

Again, not the point.

Is Johnson a "very good hockey player"?

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Right. I would had prefer that they put Mete on waivers or another forward. Juulsen will be a very good player in Florida.

Odds are that Mete is currently better than what Juulsen will ever be.

 

[26Mats]

Right. I would had prefer that they put Mete on waivers or another forward. Juulsen will be a very good player in Florida.

They could have now fit Juulsen under the cap without putting Mete on waivers, now that they decided to waive Perry and Frolik.

 

[Runner77]

Anybody else get claimed? From across the NHL?

See the out of town thread.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Anybody else get claimed? From across the NHL?

From the Habs? No. Everyone cleared except for Juulsen.

From around the league, I'm not sure if anyone else cleared, but I think even in the entire NHL, only Juulsen got claimed.

 

[Slashers98]

Another failed 1st rounder. The Habs should trade all their first-round picks instead of picking busts.

 

[ROEN]

Right. I would had prefer that they put Mete on waivers or another forward. Juulsen will be a very good player in Florida.

Hard to say, he could end up being a great pickup for them, hard to say where his confidence is BUT he did look good in camp, he'll get great allies in Duddley and the rest of the ex-Habs staff with Florida, Habs have done very very badly with ex D prospects ending up on other teams ... hope it doesn't come back to bite them ...

 

[1909]

They could have now fit Juulsen under the cap without putting Mete on waivers, now that they decided to waive Perry and Frolik.

That's even a worst decision, then. There was no rush signing these vet players that are now on waivers themselves.

 

[Habs Halifax]

From the Habs? No. Everyone cleared except for Juulsen.

From around the league, I'm not sure if anyone else cleared, but I think even in the entire NHL, only Juulsen got claimed.

That's all I can see so far. Shitty that we are the only team to get hit if so..

 

[1909]

Another failed 1st rounder. The Habs should trade all their first-round picks instead of picking busts.

. Juulsen was not a bust. Just a good, solid young d man who was injured for too long.

 

[le_sean]

Again, not the point.

Is Johnson a "very good hockey player"?

No he isn’t anymore. He doesn’t offer much value for his cap hit especially since he’s a winger now.

 

[Tuggy]

Unfortunate to lose him.

Hopefully he can get his career back on track.

 

[Habs Halifax]

They could have now fit Juulsen under the cap without putting Mete on waivers, now that they decided to waive Perry and Frolik.

Actually if we ran with 22 man roster (with both Mete, and Juulsen), We would be $8k over the cap. Buying out Alzner was a mistake.. that cost us $400k of cap space this year and only saved $200k next year.

 

[Runner77]

No he isn’t anymore. He doesn’t offer much value for his cap hit especially since he’s a winger now.

Byron is what -- a centerman? Man, the homer bias never ends on this site. A damn 4th liner.
