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

[red devil]

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.

It could be that Pitlick is comfortable the coaching staff in Montreal and believes he will get a real opportunity in the NHL. If he signed with a different team that doesn't know him that well they may not give him the same chance

In Toronto he could’ve gotten hot but just as easily could’ve gotten buried. In Montreal he knows what he has and knows MSL… goes a long way.

For his sake I hope he produces at least 30-odd points. For our sake I hope he does it with minimal TOI (so no Mathieu Darche-ing it, playing shotgun on the first line).

Pitlick has some decent hands and plays fast.
I am glad he is back.

 

[No More Subban]

Very underrated player. Good signing!

That was also my first impression that he left salary on the table just to resign here...

Because 1.1M is really cheap. It's a contract you can bury in the minors without repercussions...

Hopefully he can do great for us and we could trade him down the road lol

 

[Habs13]

Good! Couldn't figure out why we would let him go. I would have thought the saved cap from the Petry trade would have been used on Dach though.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Nice, i like Rem.

 

[River Meadow]

WOW.

Good deal....

Not great for the tank though.

Nice player. But Pitlick isn't moving the needle for this team. We have more holes in our roster than the Titanic

Pitlick is a perfect tank player, an all-offence 3rd liner who isn't very good defensively. He'll be a part of lots of exciting offensive plays that will keep these games watchable, but he'll give up enough defensively that it won't hurt the tank at all.

He's sneaky good and has the capacity to score GTG and GWG's

Fair point

Man this is gonna be a steal this season. I'm guessing he didn't want to leave which is good for us,

Smart move on his part.

He may not get the chances and confidence he has from our coach and mgnmt team elsewhere.

Byron 2.0?

Edit: I meant the first contract we gave Byron after claiming him on waivers that was dirt cheap.

If he performs as well as Byron after his first extension hopefully this management group is smart enough to trade while his value would be high him instead of extending him.

Byron couldn't stay healthy and management gave him too high of a cap hit. Byron is much smaller than Pitlick and plays a reckless style.

I'm ok with re-signing Pitlick again if he proves he can stay healthy and re-signs for a good cap hit. I'd also be happy if we were to move him for a 2nd, a 1st or a good prospect. After all, we nearly just lost him for nothing.

I don't know why other teams didn't step up to give him 1.5M-2M AAV. Their loss, our gain.

I think just poor pro scouting on the part of many teams.

Yea he could easily have gotten 2 million.

Actually it’s great for the tank.

He’s a going to be at best a middling 6 winger, but with that being the case and his cap hit being so low he’s a huge boon to a cash-strapped team looking to add depth at the deadline. The fact he has another year on the contract is a huge bonus to any team in a cup window.

So either he plays well and we keep him, or he plays well and we turn him into a tangible future asset, or he doesn’t play well and it doesn’t matter at all cause it’s a cheap depth signing and we don’t want to be a good team this year anyways.

He is likely not going to be good enough in of himself to move the needle for us in terms of the tank. I believe he was on a 56pt pace or something like that with us last year and we still finished last.

I'm a fan of Pitlick, I think he's got untapped potential and I'm looking forward to seeing him play the next two seasons.

I hope he finds chemistry with Dach.

With Dubois .

 

[Habby4Life]

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

Poehling has shown nothing that would suggest this. He’s a tweener, a call up for a couple of games than back off to the A.

 

[Durvann]

Was really bummed thinking we would lose him. He's a great all around speedy/skilled player.

Hopefully we'll get to see the Koivu shootout move a few mores times this year.

In your dreams or maybe on NHL22
