Confirmed with Link: Jordan Weal to Montreal in Exchange for Michael Chaput

[_Del_]

So a month later.. Weal has been a pleasant surprise, has helped the PP, and solidified our 4th line.

Must not of liked the sand.

Doesn't really surprise me. I said at the time, it wouldn't surprise me to see him bounce back as a solid 4th liner. That's basically what he's been before his stint here.
But it wasn't working here. He was bad here for whatever reason.

Don't think you'll find anyone who regrets moving on and taking the cash savings.

Chaput is beginning to produce nicely down in Tucson. Averaging a point per game.

 

[hbk]

Wasn't a fit here. I was pumping his tires as well as I liked him as a junior player.

 

[azcanuck]

Weal probably had his best game last night as a Hab. He's been pretty darn good and i've watched every game.

 

[moosemeister]

I’m just happy we don’t have to hear Matt and Tyson talk him up as a player he isn’t ever going to be

Not going to get excited about a player that is fitting in well as a 4th liner.

Good for him.

It's not decent 4th-liners Yotes don't have anyways.

The coyotes have a lot of 4th line players. That's probably why he was crowded out here.

I did not expect much from him, yet he now has 8 pts (3G 5A) in 13 games with the Habs and last night against the Jets won 68% of his face-offs.
In Mtl we really like him, for now anyway.
Link: Jordan Weal deserves the opportunities he has been given

 

[hbk]

Yeah we couldn't care less.

 

[Price is Wright]

He's the new Jordie Benn.

 

[Grimes]

This happens with players all the time. Archibald has 14 goals for us right now. If they could do this every season they would be a 2-3m 3rd liner. Good for him though.

This is the guy I thought we were getting. A little upside, scores well in lower leagues, has always been a solid 4th liner. Contract year.
We didn't. He was awful here. Was given a chance with everyone, even top six minutes. Did nothing with them.
Didn't work out. No real explanation. No regrets. Good for him for making a show of it in MTL.
If he becomes a real top six C, then sure come back and add to our misery, but I'm not losing sleep over the guy we picked up when we were ravaged year by injuries.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Maybe we should stop acquiring guys who can only thrive in the rarefied Montreal air.
