Has Bergy made the most expensive AHL blueline in history?Alzner and Schlemballs ? lol.

 

[frapp10]

We don’t have a 7th defender now? Trade incoming?

Did we not just have this thread? Of course hs’s back in the minors. He’s a multi-millionaire beer league player. No exaggeration.

 

[cashinstinct]

He will travel with Habs Thursday


They want him to play Wednesday AHL game.

I wanted to post in the previous thread, but it was locked.

It's a smart decision by Habs. Sending him down and calling him back up resets the counter, as well. Not that him being placed on waivers again would change anything. But it does save them having to wait 24 hours before knowing if they send him to Laval or not.

It does? I didn't know that.

 

[Le Tricolore]

He looked okay in the last game he played in, I guess?

Enjoy Laval, Karl.

Schlemko still injured... What's new ?

 

[EveryDay]

He was send to Laval because Schlemko got injured again......

Better that than not admitting his mistakes.

All year I've wanted Mete, Rielly, and Kulak ahead of Alzner and Schlmeko. Now it's finally happened. I'm not complaining.

I even like that Juulsen is getting more seasoning in Laval and Benn is back to his old self: stabilizing the bottom pair and not playing in the top 4, where he's just not meant to play. I'd take Beaulieu back if he could play on a bottom pair with Benn. Not saying Beaulieu is better than Kulak. Just saying Beaulieu was much better than he'd been when we acquired Benn to play with him.

Hmm not sure if it resets the counter. Isn't it 30 days after he was last put on waivers?

Clearing waivers could injure even the most durable.

 

[FloJack]

I keep thinking the Habs are making deals with the Golden Knights every time I see LAV.

 

[Censored Toad]

Maybe the team got tired of opening too many pickle jars for Karl so they sent him down to the AHL to make the kids do it.

 

[Adam Michaels]

As was expected.

You are correct. I was wrong. It doesn't reset.

 

[WeThreeKings]

God forbid we risk losing him on waivers again lmao

 

[scrubadam]

Does anyone think he will retire after this season?

I can't imagine he is going to want to keep riding the bus in the AHL even if the money is good.

I can see him "retiring" and then trying to sign a million dollar contract or going to Europe/KHL.

I just don't see Karl spending all of next season in Laval either.

 

[Habs Halifax]

You made my day. Hilarious

he's not going to say goodbye to 13.875M over 3 years to go in europe and sign for 1M a year

The thought went through my mind. Money talks though. If he feels comfortable on the money he has made so far in his career sets him and his family up for life, I think he considers it. I'm not so sure Europe/KHL gives him a nice contract though.

After this year, he has made $12M/$23.125M and 3 more years to go. Maybe if he goes through this again next year, he seriously considers it. $16.625M/$23.125M

 

[Le Tricolore]

There's no chance he retires. He might do so at the end of the contract if no one wants to give him a chance.
