Recalled/Assigned: Mete sent to the AHL

[Baksfamous112]

And they have Sproul too, I think.

No his contract was terminated this morning

 

[1909]

Has there been a timeline announced yet for Juulsen's return?

No. But with a broken face, I guess another 4 weeks is not out of question.

 

[417]

And they have Sproul too, I think.

was released today

 

[1909]

ok.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And they have Sproul too, I think.

He was released from his PTO earlier today. And it all makes sense now.

 

[1909]

I’m ok with Mete going down. I WASN’T ok with Mete playing his off-side over Benn who is used to play the right side. When a 20 years is struggling a little bit in the NHL, the worst thing you can do is switch him to his off-side. Hopefully he build some confidence and come back strong!

They were saying that he played a lot on the right side when he was in the OHL.

For sure, he had no problem as a RD

 

[Saundies]

Played good in preseason but hasn't taken the step I expected. Good move for now.

 

[Habs4Life]

its actually the best thing for him!

 

[EXPOS123]

Knew it. Not a fan of Mete and felt he was way too overrated. Was sheltered last year and now that he's in the spotlight, he's been exposed. You can have all the speed you want as a midget dman, but you cannot be in this league without being able to give or take a hit and he can't do either, not to mention the fact he has absolutely no shot so he can't even be on the P.P.

 

[1909]

And he was the only D (maybe Kulak ???) that had not to go thru waivers to be sent down to AHL.

 

[Agalloch]

If we look at the pairings right now:

Kulak-Weber
Schlemko-Petry
Reilly-Benn
Ouellet

I can see Benn being the next to go when Juulsen comes back in the next weeks.

I like pint-size d-men on a team, but not more than one, a really good one like a Samuel Girard or a Torrey Krug, even a Marc-André Bergeron with a HUGE shot. Mete is not -yet - at their level.

I would bet on Ouellet.

 

[jaffy27]

Suddenly Laval's D become quite good with Alzner and Mete down there.

Cup run will be in Laval this year....Lernout/Alzner/Fleury/Mete.....that’spretty good

 

[jaffy27]

I would bet on Ouellet.

I’m keeping Benn over Ouellet

 

[1909]

Cup run will be in Laval this year....Lernout/Alzner/Fleury/Mete.....that’spretty good

But we don't know how long Alzner and mete will stay at AH level.

 

[1909]

I’m keeping Benn over Ouellet

Me too. I am betting Ouellet is the one going.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good decision. Mete needs to work on some stuff and Laval is the place to do that.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kulak-Weber
Schlemko-Petry

Ouellet

I can see Benn being the next to go when Juulsen comes back in the next weeks.

It wouldn't surprise me if Juulsen is sent to Laval when he returns in order to get back into game shape.

 

[Tyson]

Most logical thing to do. He needs more time to work on his game.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I think if Bergevin listens to the general consensus on the Habs HF boards, he will do just fine .

Logical move at this stage. He needs to play and Bouchard will use him effectively

 

[Agalloch]

It wouldn't surprise me if Juulsen is sent to Laval when he returns in order to get back into game shape.

I hope not. Juulsen is NHL ready.

Like it was said, Ouellet could go down too but I think we lose him for nothing. Benn would fetch a pick.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Huh, I thought I was an idiot for suggesting this.

But... I thought Bergevin was an idiot?

 

[Adam Michaels]

CJ saying that Mete is the future and the present of the Habs blue line. But they want to put him in a situation where he will play and find his game again.
