I guess 6 bottom pairing dmen wasn't enough.

 

[Treb]

 

[SquiddFX]

Shocking.

 

[Deebs]

Should do alright in Laval

 

[McGuires Corndog]

No stopping us now

 

[Michelangelo]

sure

 

[Tyson]

Fresh start playing for Bouchard.

 

[Redux91]

Fantastic deal, its practically a try out and only for 700k, its solid

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Good depth. Can't complain.

 

[Ezpz]

Why not, flip the expensive guys for late picks. Schlemko and Benn are plugs

 

[Toene]

That's fine. Maybe he has still untapped potential. A two-way contract doesnt hurt anybody.

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Plan the parade.

 

[Redux91]

I mean when you heard the noise about Ouellete and especially what kind of money Alzner got last year, i was really dreading some kind of 2-3 million PER YEAR type of deal

how anyone can complain about 700k is beyond me lol

 

[tazsub3]

good signing , he gets a new chance, for practically free

 

[1909]

Two-way contract. I don't see a problem there.

Bouchard knows him very well.

 

[Bacchus1]

Good signing. Cheap and potential.

 

[DAChampion]

Back in 2012, it was rumoured that Detroit was offering a 2nd rounder and defensive prospect Ouelette for Travis Moen, but the Have wanted to keep the latter .

 

[1909]

Fantastic deal, its practically a try out and only for 700k, its solid

You know darn well, WHY some folks are complaining about his acquisition.....

 

[NobleSix]

good god

he'll be playing in Laval

 

[Redux91]

good god

he'll be playing in Laval

Hopefully plays well enough to warrant a call up, if not, Moravcik is a super intriguing option out of nowhere

 

[mariolemieux66]

Hope this means Juulsen and Mete play in the AHL next year.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Can he be worse than Alzner?

 

[Habs13]

LMAO... oh man...

 

[1909]

Hope this means Juulsen and Mete play in the AHL next year.

That would be better for their development for sure.... But, besides Weber and Petry, we are going to live once again with Schlemko, Benn, Alzner, Reilly, maybe one of the two Czech guys and-or Ouellet.
