Confirmed with Link: Habs claim Kovacevic off waivers

[Addik04]

Just from the eye test, he seems to be attempting more things with the puck, especially in transition. He has a good flair to sneak in an offensive position from the blue line, but isn't doing much with it. He had good scoring numbers in the AHL too. It's going to be interesting to see him play next season with a full year with our development staff and a training camp. May be they can tap into something more than a 3rd pair defensive D.

He is gaining confidence more and more, but I dont know if there is really another gear. Anyway, I think he is proving he can play in that league and be useful.

For what it is worth, in the Dom Luszczyszyn's model, Matheson is worth 6.8m, Savard is league min, Guhle league min, Edmundson league min, Harris 1.5 and Kovacevic 3.1.

I've noticed while he isn't very good offensively, he is actually very good at holding the line and reading when/when not to pinch. I've seen him keep the play alive a lot of times by holding the boards or making a nice read to pinch in and apply pressure.

While I don't think he'll ever be a top 4 dman, he's a really steady bottom pair guy on an absolute bargain deal. Keep him for a couple years while we fill out our RD and we might get some nice value out of him at the TDL before his contract expires.

Matthews is McDavid's peer!!!

Love the guy
Love him as 3RD
Love that contract
You could do worse killing time for Mailloux and with Barron insulating himself
Savard contract will expire at the perfect time too if he's not traded before

He brings a lot for 760k a year and is signed for 2 more seasons, what's not to like?

Indeed, it has his limitations. I would not take him versus Savard, Guhle, etc. You need take it with a grain of salt! Only another source of information gather together.

And having Edmundson on your team is as bad as giving the other team 3 Connor McDavids...

I mean I know he's bad but not that bad lol.

He's been fine overall from the begining and improved,if only he had a bit of nastiness in him more.

Some noise is best to ignore all together
