Did he change his number for 44 ?
Who was his partner in Laval. Karl Alzner?
If the Habs get Mete back, Chiarot-Weber, Mete-Petry, Kulak/Alzner-Juulsen?
Alzner definitely may be more steady than Kulak.
He deserves a shot.
Out of a cannon! he needs to be jettisoned asap!
Say what you want to say about Juulsen and the development frustration due to injuries. When healthy, he knows the role he needs to play and he has always been high on the list for every coach he has played for in terms of reliability.
This kid is good in his own end. Hope the Habs sign him for 2 or 3 years cause they could have a headache on their hands if they give him 1 year. Give him 2 or 3 years at $1.25M (one way contract) and I think he takes it. If he disappoints or gets hurt again, this will not hurt our cap
In addition to his questionable health, I'm worried if it takes him too long to get his timing back, he won't be able to get into the lineup. And since he has to go through waivers, he won't be able to go to Laval. The last thing he needs if he's able to get healthy is to be sitting in the press box healthy.
I bet you he plays in the play in round. Great time for him to try and get his feet wet again in the NHL. Everyone's been home and everyone has to get in game shape again
I would be heavily in favor of using him in the top 6, even if he's not one of the best 6 dmen.
We ain't winning anything this year- if the playoffs even actually happen.

I'm not too worried about waivers right now. I can't envision a scenario where the NHL wouldn't grant us the ability to send him to the AHL on a conditioning stint.
I don't see him getting 1.25M on a one way, he should get something like 750K or so as he is 1 year away from being arbitration eligible.
they can easily send him on a conditioning stint as long as he agrees but that's 2 weeks. I don't know if they can ask the league for longer due to his situation or not, but if not you can't mess around cause the league could fine us if they think we were trying to get around waivers and I don't see the Habs risking that or waivers.
But we'll see where his game is at assuming he plays next month, then we'll see where his game is at whenever camp starts next season and go from there.
I would not sign him to a 1 year deal. That's the point. I rather sign him to a 2 or 3 year deal overlapping the 21 off season. If he plays well in this play in playoffs and next season, we have another one to add to the headache to sign
1 year at $800k yes. 2 or 3 years? I'd be willing to go to $1.25M for 3 and if he gets hurt again or has to play AHL cause he is struggling, so be it. It's won't hurt our cap
