I think Bergevin will sign Després to an AHL contract. Després might not be a lost cause. Might need time to get his game back.
I don't even see how he fits in Laval.
Mete, Juulsen, Petry, Alzner, Reilly, Benn, Schlemko, Ouellet, Lernout, Valiev, Taormina, Sklenicka, Moravcik, Lamarche, Culkin, Melancon, and Plant.
Some will end up in ECHL. Some may end up traded. But there are still too many already under contract and there's no room for Depres. And he's not doing anything to warrant one. I know they did it for Gelinas last year. But there wasn't as much depth last year.
