Confirmed with Link: Florida Panthers Claim Noah Juulsen

[JuicyHam]

Here come the I told you so crowd

 

[1909]

Unfortunate to lose him.

Hopefully he can get his career back on track.

Habs are not that deep on the right side of their D. They should had kept Juulsen.

 

[26Mats]

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.

From my understanding, after frolik and Perry on waivers, we have over 700k in cap space...

Also, we save 2M on the cap next season when we have all the players to sign, hence buying out Alzner now...

 

[Tuggy]

Yup, I would have liked to have kept him.

 

[Brownies]

I’m sure everyone wanted to keep Juulsen, but good for him if he gets an easier path to play NHL games. This is why waivers exist...

Still, I always hate to see someone we drafted go like that.

 

[26Mats]

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

And he got injured by blocking shots. And peoplentreat him like a disappointment...

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

I wonder what the Panthers are doing there. Seriously. He hasn't played in two years and they think the good thing for his development would be to sit him? They already have an overcrowded blueline and added Gudas this offseason.

I just don't get it.

Why don’t we just waive Byron?

 

[le_sean]

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

When did I say that? Johnson provided value at his cap hit when he was a centre. Now he’s not a centre so his value has diminished. He’s not good defensively and provides minimal on the PP.

If anyone is biased it’s you with your already formulated hatred of Byron.

 

[Runner77]

Why don’t we just waive Byron?

Because they gave him an "A".

Yes, with Perry and Frolik on the taxi squad, we have $708K of cap space. You are correct... with Juulsen, it would have been $8k of cap space. Habs probably wanted Juulsen to play games and more cap flexibility

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Didn't look like he was going to get a chance this season with the Habs so it's good for him.

Frolik and Perry on there today.

Sitting right now is the worst thing that can happen at this point of his career.

Yeah, an already formulated bias for an overpaid 4th liner. What a tremendous reach.

Of course, there you go with another forum trope about "hatred". Yeah, I really care about "hating" any player, I don't know them personally. How laughable.

 

[Whitesnake]

Here come the I told you so crowd

Well win some lose some. But the told you so crowd might come in because they were told how stupid it was to think he'd be claimed....

 

[26Mats]

Why don’t we just waive Byron?

Byron has always been a favorite of management's. They don't want to risk losing him.

 

[sandviper]

This is a case where Habs aren’t really at fault as Noah was just a subject of a LOT of bad luck. Hope he picks things back up and while it sucks to see him go, there wasn’t a spot for him anytime soon and the kid needs to play.

 

[26Mats]

Sitting right now is the worst thing that can happen at this point of his career.

So why was he sitting all Fall instead of playing in Europe??????

 

[le_sean]

Yeah, an already formulated bias for an overpaid 4th liner. What a tremendous reach.

There’s your proof right there. Because he’s on the 4th line it means he’s a 4th liner. I guess Joe Thornton is a 1st line LW now? Maybe he’s a franchise player still since the Leafs put him with such talent. A guy you build around. That’s your logic at work.

Ben Chiarot is a #2 defenceman as well, he’s on the top pairing. Guess we could trade him straight up for Hanifin who is on the second pairing. That means he’s worse right.

Maybe the Wild can trade us Bonino for KK. That’s a 2nd liner for a 3rd liner right there.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Byron has always been a favorite of management's. They don't want to risk losing him.

I'm not a management hater but they overlooked the waivers management issue.

1) I said over a month ago that Weal needs to be traded (add a 3rd if you have to). Some Habs fans said no... A 3rd is valuable. Well, so is Juulsen for our future and Perry for the now. 75% of the poster not wanting to add a 3rd didn't understand what I was saying or foreshadowed

2) Alzner should have not been bought out. Cost us $400k of cap space this year and only saved $200k next year

3) Byron is liked by both players and mangement but nobody claims him if he is put on waivers. Then you wait for the cap to open up (daily formula) or wait for an injury and you get to keep both Byron and Perry. Nobody is claiming Byron with his AAV and term left... it was the lowest probability of someone getting claimed

Bergevin can't go one off season without making a mistake. If both Juulsen and Perry get claimed, he's going to get criticized for this

 

[Adam Michaels]

This is a case where Habs aren’t really at fault as Noah was just a subject of a LOT of bad luck. Hope he picks things back up and while it sucks to see him go, there wasn’t a spot for him anytime soon and the kid needs to play.

Unfortunately, it is something that was out of the player's and the organization's control. His injury at some point was even career threatening.

And what also sucks is that when Juulsen was waiver exempt, the Habs couldn't take advantage of that due to his injury. And the first year he needs to go through waivers, he gets claimed.

 

[SOLR]

Another 1st rounder, eh?

Losing 1st rounders to injuries is not uncommon and is not a reflection on the drafting or development team.

 

[Tighthead]

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

That was Hartford’s reasoning when they traded 3 firsts for Glenn Wesley. “Our first round picks all bust so what does it matter?”

 

[Wats]

Still rather have him than Kulak.

 

[MasterD]

Only if Florida places him on waivers and only if the Habs are the only team to place a claim on him should that happen.

Because I believe that even if a team is behind the Habs in the waivers priority order, if just one more team places a claim on Juulsen next time around, he will go to the other team.

I may have misunderstood it.

What I understood if that only the Habs claim him, they can send him to the taxi squad without waiving him. Otherwise he has to play in the NHL.
