That's a good question...I can't answer that.Why would you want to retain his rights?
According to Mario Langlois (Habs' play-by-play announcer on 98.5FM), the Habs have extended a qualifying offer to Charles Hudon.
That's a good question...I can't answer that.
But extending a qualifying offer, does not automatically mean the player will accept it.
Hudon can say "thanks but no thanks"...
This could purely be a move for optics, which considering the player and the organization, I wouldn't be shocked if that was the case.
Why wouldn't they? Extra body in camp, maybe get a 5th for him before the season starts.
If i'm his agent...i've read the tea leaves.I hope Hudon is wiser.
Just a reminder that extending the qualifying offer simply retains his rights...Hudon doesn't have to accept it.
Can he play in the AHL? (as in is he contractually allowed?) I don't see a possible spot for him with the Habs next season.

If they couldn't get a 5th round pick last season, they won't get one this season that's for sure
Than he'll be lost on waivers, or play in the AHL. What's the harm?If they couldn't get a 5th round pick last season, they won't get one this season that's for sure
But if he does it's the easiest million bucks he'll ever make, cause he sure as hell isn't playing on the main roster next season... (scratch that... Habs will never cease to surprise me in a bad way)

Why? Are you paying him from your own pocket?Better be a 2 way contract.
