Speculation: Undrafted FA Thread (NCAA/CHL/Euro)

[Adam Michaels]

Yeah, who knows. He, with Matthew Highmore and Dryden Hunt, shows our scouts and recommending decent undrafted FA’s anyhow.

This is why, while the amateur scouting needs to go through changes, Timmins is not one of the member of hockey ops I want gone. I think he's done very well on the draft floor and has also done well finding undrafted players like Lindgren and Carr, as examples.

 

[Runner77]

Anyone been hearing which way Jimmy Schuldt is leaning? I have not heard anything in awhile.

Oh and Maxime Fortier too

Jimmy Schuldt would easily have gotten an NHL deal if he wanted to turn pro and I could see the Habs signing Robby Jackson next year since he was Poehling's linemate and led the team in scoring. Two more good invites. Although would like to see them do a better job with the guys they sign to AHL contracts.

That Alain signing sure looking good as he continues to advance in the QMJHL playoffs

I wonder if Schuldt and Jackson will be invited again.

Would there be a disadvantage to inviting them? I can't see anything negative from doing it.

Definitely nothing negative with either. If anything, it will show that Habs are still interested in both, which could be the tipping point in Habs' favour when teams vie for their services next year.

hope so

 

[Whitesnake]

Pretty quiet on the UFA front....any chance we take a look at 6'2'' C Ryan Schmeltzer? He signed a ECHL contract once his Canisius season was done. And was point per game in 7 games in the ECHL.And 7 points in 9 games in the playoffs.

Mikael Lalancette just reiterated in a report during the 2nd intermission of Armada-Titans Game 1 Final that Habs are one of many teams trying to sign Galipeau. Lalancette said to keep an eye on it in the next few days.

Worth noting that two seasons ago, he was invited to the Canucks camp. And last season, was invited to Chicago's camp. Have to think they're after him, as well.

 

[Adam Michaels]

For what it's worth:

 

[Vachon23]

an other Armada player ...

Would not be surprised if they signe Danick Martel this summer

 

[Adam Michaels]

Galipeau is having a monster game tonight in Game 3 of the Q Final. Titans are leading 4-2, Galipeau with 1 goal and 2 assists. He surely has a few teams courting him, and Habs are among them. But I really hope Habs are doubling and even tripling their efforts to make sure he chooses them.

Definitely would hurt to see him choose another team. We could use that depth on D.

Habs really need to sign Galipeau. He will make our left D prospects a little deeper. Don't understand how the habs could lose any bidding war for this player.

Maybe if the habs don't want to give him bonuses, but overall it's ultimately where he chooses to go.

Having the AHL team in Quebec definitely helps. He will have a better chance to make the team even as early as this upcoming season.

It explains why Timmins and Bergevin were watching the games instead of scouting the WCs.

do you think they could also be looking at Dobson?
If we are able to add another 1st round pick

They were looking at him earlier in the play-offs, obviously they've done their due diligence on him as well.

Mario Pouliot au sujet du défenseur Olivier Galipeau @ABTitan. « Oui, il nous aide sur la glace, mais son apport est peut-être encore plus grand dans le vestiaire. Gali, c’est un vrai pro. Il aime être à l’aréna. Nos jeunes veulent l’imiter. » BTW, toujours pas de contrat pro...

 

[Habs76]

I like Bathurst very much, as well. But if Bulldogs get through, I'm going more for them for Bitten. And then it would be Pats for Fleury. And then it would be Bathurst. I so want Habs to succeed in signing Galipeau, though.

Has he been playing RW or Defence? He is listed as both on elite prospects

D this year, no clue about in the past.
