Down with the midgets!
...
Down with the nepotist draftee, Audette.
Audette Senior: I'll go in another room and you guys decide if you want to pick my son or not.
That worked really well.

Hudon gets you nothing, futures sounds about right. They should have just let him walk unless they plan to package him in a multi player trade which would explain the QO.Pretty sure a former 5th rounder with average AHL numbers fetches a 5th rd pick today. Future considerations my guess.
Renaud Lavoie also Tweeted that Habs won't qualify Audette, as well as Shinkaruk.
They wasted an asset for Shinkaruk. Having Rychel last year in Laval would have been a better alternative.
Oh, OK...ThxHe's not a UFA. Because they qualified him, even if he turned it down, he remains an RFA. This more than likely means Habs retain him to at least use him as an asset in a trade.
Best case scenario for us is if he goes to Europe, and ups his value. Qualifying offer means we retain his NHL rights till he reaches UFA age.What "asset"?
There will be a bunch of borderline NHLers available "for free" in about two weeks. No NHL teams will give up anything of value for Hudon.
However, I don't blame him for turning down his QO. The AHL salary might have been low and he's likely looking for more guaranteed money either on a one-way or a two-way deal.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hudon ends up signing in Europe if he doesn't get want he wants.
Yeah Benn can go if he wants a long term deal. He’s easily replaceable.Finally, MAG added that Benn was seeking a long term deal and that the Habs are not prepared to give him much beyond 2 years. Kulak’s emergence and affordability made Benn expendable. Also, MAG claims the Habs do not want to hand out deals to bottom players that are too long, given that there will be raises to pay up for several players 2 summers from now.
MAG on 98.5FM tonight on Mario Langue-sale’s show, said the Habs want to hold on to Reilly. He mentioned how the latter is not happy about how he’s being used, thinks he should be a regular.
While MAG’s info on Reilly was a confirmation via a source, he posited that the Habs will want to keep BigMac on account of the progress made last year and positive feedback from Bouchard.
Nothing earth shattering in all of this.

Why not Audette? So much talent. He also seemed to be improving.
