Confirmed with Link: [PHI/MTL] Montreal acquires Dale Weise and Christian Folin for David Schlemko and Byron Froese

[jaffy27]

Called it.

So did I lol

 

[thegoalie39]

Weise going straight to the minors.

 

[donghabs98]

I can't say I didnt see it coming. It only seemed logical

Hudon and Chaput would be eaten alive in a playoff series. Habs need mobile yet strong forechecking players and someone who can win faceoffs. Getting Dale Weise back in my mind is a good option. He embraces the spotlight, has some offensive skills, can skate and hit. A deal around him and Schlemko would be ideal (two disappointing players with 1 year left on their contracts)

 

[Adam Michaels]

I have zero idea about Christian Folin, but he's only $800K and becomes a UFA at the end of the year.

 

[jaffy27]

Welcome back, Weiser!

You’re f***in mean

 

[waffledave]

I legit didn't realize Weise still played in the NHL.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Colin or Folin? What's in a name.

It's reporterChris, not spell-checkerChris apparently.

 

[CH25]

Is he still any good? I liked Dale back then.

No but this could rejuvenate his play

 

[That Habs Fan]

What's Fleischmann up to these days? Would be hilarious to have the both of them and Danault all on the team...hah

Jokes aside this is a very minor move, could payoff if Dale rediscovers the magic he had with us last time.

Deslauriers-Chaput-Weise could be a nice 4th line.

 

[Edgy]

I don't understand the move when we've already got a glut at wing and we aren't using Hudon enough to what he's flashing.

Tatar Gallagher
Drouin Byron
Lehkonen Armia
Shaw Weise
Hudon Deslauriers
Agostino.

I would assume depth move in case of injuries and veteran playoffs talent. Looks like the brass thinks we have a shot at making the playoffs and want to at least put on an effort not to get swept.

You’re ****in mean

I have a ton more.

 

[Forum93]

Nice, he's a Hab diehard and will be fun to watch in the playoffs.

 

[Luigi Habs]

HF Boards community called it a couple of weeks ago. Good job boys.

Welcome Back Des Louises. Should’ve never left.

 

[Seb]

Weise is probably trash now but I couldn't care less, I don't remember the team being as united as when he was on the team. This might do good.

 

[ArtPeur]

It's weird because both teams have so much capspace.

 

[Adam Michaels]

As @thegoalie39 already mentioned, Weise will report to Laval.

We know he will be recalled by Montreal at some point.

 

[Runner77]

This Folin guy looks interesting. Too bad he's a righty. He's 28 years old, 6'3, 204 lbs. Swede.

Forecaster is bullish:

Owns an ideal frame (6-3, 204 pounds) and plenty of puck-moving acumen. Is sound defensively and can provide a fair amount of offense at lower levels.

Flaws: Needs to prove he can handle National Hockey League power forwards in the big league. Must also prove he can produce more offense in the NHL.

Career Potential: Big, solid defenseman.

DALE WEISE IT!!!!!

DUTCH GRETZKY IS BACK!!!

RUMOURS OF HIS DEATH AT THE HANDS OF MILAN LUCIC HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED!!

Right handed shot iirc, that should be nice, this guy will look great playing way lower in the lineup than he used to do here. I'm just hoping this trade doesn't mean Shaw is done for the season?

 

[Hacketts]

Sweeeeeet

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Can't be any worse than what we've had on the 4th line...

 

[jaffy27]

HF Boards community called it a couple of weeks ago. Good job boys.

Welcome Back Des Louises. Should’ve never left.

It made too much sense lol

Glad to see the Dutchman back....what’s better is no more Agostino or whoever

 

[Runner77]

As @thegoalie39 already mentioned, Weise will report to Laval.

We know he will be recalled by Montreal at some point.

That's the only way for the Habs not to have to waive someone else.

Love the Schlemdog dumping. Weise has his warts, he can be kind of an aimless wanderer. He could use some structure from Bouchard.

 

[Tuggy]

If nothing else, I'm happy I don't ever have to see Schlemko in a Habs jersey again.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Frolin will actually improve the third D pair, Kulak and Benn never quite did it for me. He's got some experience and he plays a safe game. Benn can go back to his natural side .
