Confirmed with Link: Rem Pitlick signed 2 years 1.1 Million AAV per Cap Friendly

[beowulf]

Not bad hope he can continue his production from last year.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Not really, he and Poehling were both versatile last season.

There is still a lot of forwards.

 

[BaseballCoach]

No place on the top 9 for him right now. I expect him to play 4th line with Evans and Armia. Pezzetta will be forward 13.

That's a good fourth line, but they may need to play in their own zone to help out our weak defence.

Seven of the eight D that got us to the Stanley Cup final are gone in 12 months.

 

[Habs Halifax]

He’s going to need the same amount of ice time. Center insurance if we get an injury?

Who’s our 5th depth center now?

 

[BaseballCoach]

If the Petry deals allowed this, at least that's positive. Still dislike the extra year on the cap that Matheson brings.

"extra year" (fourth) = the year Matheson starts out as 31 and turns 32?

That's still better than Petry's last year (third) where he starts out as 36 and finishes 37.

+ the #1 goalie who is very iffy.

Pitlick can play the three forward positions. He did play center a bit last year too.

Yes he did play center but was not very good at the 200’ part

 

[DailyKaizen]

This makes the Petry trade (even) more digestible.

Very happy have him back

 

[Habs Halifax]

Stephens

That’s got to get better. One of those top 4C’s will get injured at some duration of the season

Habs centerline is rather sketchy after Suzuki. Dvorak could be better. Dach is an enigma.who has lots of work to do in all aspects of his game. Evans is one concussion away from retirement.

If he plays well he'll be easily flippable with that cap hit.

It's not an issue at all as he will only be 32 years old.

Evans is not anywhere close to a concussion that forces retirement any more than Crosby.

The top 4 are doable but every season has injuries.

 

[schwang26]

Love Rem. He can play anywhere in the lineup.

 

[schwang26]

Rem Pitlick isn’t part of our future. We’re gonna regret Poehling.

Poehling isn't that good. 4th liner.

Pitlick and Hoffman can play center, and so can Drouin. Not ideal. We could sign a replacement level 4C like in the old days (Malhotra, Thompson, Mitchell).

Schnarr and Hillis play C. Teasdale has a bit. If Mesar is in Laval, he could play in a pinch.

Easiest bet if we don't find a cheap NHL vet might be to re-sign Paquette as a tweener.

 

[26Mats]

Great AAV. A real steal!

Only problem is he does the opposite of help the tank.

BUT hopefully he can establish himself as part of the future.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I liked him, he's a good tank team forward.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Very happy have him back

You already digested that horrible trade? Kudos.

As another poster said...

"...essentially....Matheson, Pitlick and a 4th for Petry and Poehling."

I have eaten worse, but the new chef in town is way better...

 

[Natey]

This really is.... Cap Friendly.

I'll see myself out.

This is a player/contract that can return a ton at the deadline. Similar to Brendan Hagel.

If Rem can be 25G/30A at 1.1M, that could be a contract that could bring back a ton at this years deadline cause the salary is so cheap and it’s for 2 years. I wouldn’t expect 2 firsts but certainly that’s the type of contract that can bring back a 1st if he continues his play

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Like the term/$, this is what we should be spending on bottom 6 players

It's interesting why didn't a team like Toronto that's cap-strapped didn't go for him this year? Seems like a perfect gamble to get more production than the salary.
