Confirmed Signing with Link: [MTL] Habs Extend Charles Hudon (1-Year, $800K, 1-Way)

[Edgy]

Well that's why he's still a Hab. They didn't want to just waive him because he would've been claimed by someone based on his rookie year and let him rot in the press box instead. I think he still would be claimed, MB just needs to accept the fact that no one is giving up assets for him and let some other team try him up because I doubt Julien has any plans for him. For Hudon's career it's nothing but a liability to stay in Montreal.

No one will claim him. He can't keep up with the game's speed and is too small for a checking line.

He's good as a stopgap measure, depth player in case of injury but not NHL regular material unfortunately.

One of the ever abundant vanilla could-make-it-anytime AHL/NHL tweener. I feel like singing the Frozen theme to Bergevin.

 

[Kimota]

He's a great AHL player.

for 800 thousand?

I think there's a great possibility he'll be claimed. There's not really much you can lose in that.

Doesn't matter to anyone except Molson.

 

[CupInSIX]

If they didn't want him claimed off waivers they should have given him 1.5m

If you want a good AHL player, you got to pay him well...

Ottawa bound

It's going to be a sign and trade.

Ya probably straight up for Puljujarvi.

nobody makes that there

Toronto just signed a whole batch of guys for 700k each more or less and most of them are bound to end up in the AHL. The price you have to pay or Bozon, Aberg, Kossila go to Europe. You can't keep those guys in the AHL making half of what they would make in elsewhere.

 

[Fogelhund]

Well, it is a bit above the $700k that many guys in the AHL are making, but not enough to really get worked up about.

 

[Fixxer]

Can't you tell I was kidding? By the way, some do a lot more in the AHL.. but it's actually their NHL contracts they get (Alzner).

Think he got a No Trade clause.
