HF Habs: RFA: Armia (Signed) ; Hudon (Signed) ; Lehkonen (Signed) ; McCarron (Unsigned)

[WeThreeKings]

All for giving Hudon another shot. He's a good little player and he has skills. If it's not there next year, it's not there.

 

[Agalloch]

Looks like Hudon refused it because it was a 2way QO.

We view him as a AHL player... he will be traded this summer IMO.

 

[Playmaker09]

So waht you're saying is that if he signs,it counts against the cap?

No, only players with contracts over 1.05 million count against the cap if sent down. So if Peca is sent down, he costs 250K in dead cap space. Weise will cost 1.2 million.

Hudon would never count against the cap.

If he's in the A correct? well you certainly know the in's and out's,kudos to you.

If he is in the NHL, yes. If he goes to the AHL, substract 1.075 million from the cap hit (minimum 0$). That goes for any contract.

It's not there.

 

[Whitesnake]

Hopefully, it means that Bergevin know that teams are interested so we'd be able to get a pick out of him.

Appreciate the enlightenment,so he could help Laval then,so alright.

Sounds like a dude hoping/expecting to get dealt at the draft

 

[417]

He's not going to be playing in Laval this coming year.

 

[WeThreeKings]

It's not there.

I disagree since I saw him bring it while dragging around the corpse of Plekanec.

 

[Milhouse40]

I'd risk saying that Bergevin isn't losing any sleep over the public perception of his handling of Charles frigging Hudon. He extended his rights in an off chance he can get something for him, or to bolster the AHL team if no one's interested.

Don't agree, public image is everything for the Habs......and those decision comes from the big boss himself.

Look at everytime they traded a player, their mouthpieces in the medias are doing everything they can to discredits the player and starts trashing them left and right. Public perception is everything for this organization.

 

[llamateizer]

Mhhh, he is still RFA

3 options.(can he become UFA?)
1- wait dec 1st, miss the season without contract
2- sign a contract
3- trade

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I'd take a 5th for him pretty easily. Maybe Hudon + 5th for a late 4th

 

[Aspirine]

I’m sure he’d be a decent first liner in the DEL.

Trashing left right, discredits the player.......sure man

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Hudon is done in Montreal. Dude cant play on a top6.
Slow skater , small player. Struggled to make anything in a bottom6.

Just let him go anywhere. Dont keep him like that. Hes Laval material. He has nothing special in terms of skill to play in the NHL for a daily basis.

 

[peate]

Swiss league material.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Swiss league material.

Sadly yes.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Whitesnake]

From J-C Lajoie, he is going to be traded soon. Reason why we gave the qualitification offer. Makes sense now.

 

[le_sean]

I forgot he existed. I’m glad he rejected the offer, he’s no good.

 

[EXPOS123]

Weren't there people here convinced he could play in the top 6 because of his skill?....lol. Good times.

 

[The Real Timo]

Proud bon pt't gars d'chez nous. No AHL for him. He is an extremely solid 5th line material and any team will be lucky to have him as their 15th forward.

 

[Playmaker09]

Always infuriating to see the Habs make 250 million a year, yet continue to skimp on AHL talent for guys like Gelinas, Broll and Shinkaruk.

Maybe consider spending some money to get the farm team out of the dumpster for the first time in 10 years?

What's wrong with offering guys like Hudon, Carr, Terry, Taormina contracts like 1 million guaranteed to play in the AHL full time? Or offer that to entice someone back over from Europe like Pulkkinen.

Instead we'll have to try and watch Suzuki carry the corpse of Dale Weise on his back. Or worse, the Habs get injured and guys like Weise and Peca get called up so he gets to experience the joy of playing with Alain.
