Prospect Info: Frederik Dichow Nissen (Signs 2 Year Deal w/Frolunda, 2022-2024)

[Number 57]

Are we going to lose him?

 

[MadMslm]

Are we going to lose him?

There’s 5 days left, I’ll be surprised if they don’t offer him a two years contract and let him play one more in Europe.

We have Allen, Montembeault, Primeau and Dobes but things could change pretty quickly as soon as camp starts.

It would make no sense not to offer him a contract.

 

[actuallynotPJStock]

Who would we say has more starter potential between Dichow and Dobes at this point?

Dobes

Would still be annoyed if Dichow goes unsigned.

 

[actuallynotPJStock]

Dobes

Would still be annoyed if Dichow goes unsigned.

Thank you.

And I agree, especially with our lack of depth in the position. Hopefully we take a goalie or two this draft as well.

 

[Agalloch]

I would sign him. Let's hope they do.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I would sign him. Let's hope they do.

Same here. He's still under contract at Frolunda for next year, so you sign him to his ELC and leave him there for the year. And then a year from now, when he's coming over, you see where you are with the goaltending situation.

At this moment, the only goalie who is not under contract following next year is Monty. Allen, Primeau (who needs waivers) & Dobes are all signed beyond 2024.

 

[Wats]

There are so many goalies that develop late, keeping his rights will do no harm. Reward is there, he has shown upside.

 

[habsprospects]

At this points, if they wanted to sign him, why wait in the last 3 days.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

At this point, it looks like we're not going to sign him. It's not a huge loss.

 

[Treb]

I still don't understand it, especially with the risk of losing Primeau to waivers.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah, seems like a lose-lose situation to not sign him.

Worst case he sucks and you drop him in 2 years.

He's not taking playing time away from anyone, he's in the SHL next year.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Take Jacob Fowler or Hrabal or Augustine this draft, then you have Allen, Monty, Primeau, Dobes in the pros, as well as Croteau and one of the 3 aforementioned could be in the system.

Despite that, I'd still sign Dichow.

Dichow would be in Sweden and whoever we draft this year won't be ready until maybe 4 years from now.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I still don't understand it, especially with the risk of losing Primeau to waivers.

Well, it's not like Dichow is going to come in & replace him if we do lose him. That's a pro hockey depth issue.

We'll see if Vrbetic comes back. We lose his NHL rights June 1st too, so it's really doubtful he does.

We'll need to sign at least one goalie to an AHLC. Maybe another goalie to either an ELC, or NHL two-way depending on whether they think Primeau is gone. We'll need a #3 goalie in that case, so Dobes can play a year in AHL without forcing a recall.

Bring back Poulin for the AHL/NHL goalie. He has experience, but isn't very good, so he's not likely to steal games for the Habs while they suck for another season.

There's also Gajan, Suchanek and Milic the Habs can draft to get some depth back

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Might have a plan for getting a goalie in place

You will see me complaining for awhile if Augustine is our premium goalie selection.

Nah, Poulin sucks. He's been on an AHLC last 2 years, and we need an upgrade there.

If we lose Primeau to waivers we'll need a #3 goalie. Preferably someone with some experience, but who also won't get claimed.

Gajan & Suchanek won't be pros next year. Gajan is going NCAA & Suchanek will go back to Tri-City.

Only Milic can turn pro. We'll have to wait & see if he gets drafted. He would more likely be in TR to start.

Montembeault - Montreal
Allen - Montreal

Primeau (claimed)

Dobes - Laval
pro goalie - Laval

Milic - TR

Also sounds like there is an obscure cause in the CBA that permits Habs to hold the rights to Vrbetic until 2025, which would be like he was drafted out of Europe or NCAA even though he was drafted out of the CHL.

So if that's the case, Habs might end up signing him to an AHL deal again. The report says Habs spoke to Vrbetic's agent this week. So if Laval doesn't re-sign Poulin, I could see them have Dobes and Vrbetic as the tandem in Laval, which would be in line with what the team will mostly be comprised of: youth.

 

[Canadienna]

Can someone explain the value of not signing him? Is it the contract spot? Don't see a downside personally.

Looks like it solely comes down to contract slots or just not believing in enough progression.

Very interesting.

Had he known about the clause, I'm not sure Vrbetic would have signed that AHL/ECHL deal. Now some of his possibilites are blocked (Reentering the draft, signing a NHL contract as a UFA).

Laval can re-sign him to a AHL contract but technically he's still free to sign with the AHL or European team of his choice or even go the USports route.

 

[Whitesnake]

Can't wait to see who gets him now. If I'm a team, while i wasn't that much of a fan, just like I'm not that much of a Dobes fan either, there still should be takers.
