How courteous is it to send him to NY? That is arguably the worst place to send him.
Being courteous would be to send him to Atlanta to play with his brother.
-
Might as well send them Hainsey too.
Give them our 1, 2, 3 picks from the 2000 draft; Hainsey, Hossa, Balej.

With Latendresse:
Zednik - Koivu - Kovalev
Dags - Ribs - Ryd...s?
Bulis - Bonk - Latendresse
Higgins - Begin - Plekanec
Vandermeer/Sundstrom
Without Latendresse:
Zednik - Koivu - Kovalev
Dags - Ribs - Rydes?
Bulis - Bonk - Sundstrom
Higgins - Begin - Plekanec
Vandermeer/Perezhogin

If Latendresse's only spot is on the 4th line then he might as well stay in junior and develop offensively.
I'll take a 1st line power forward in 2 years instead of a 4th line checker now.
Either put him on the second line now, or risk him on the 3rd line and hope Bonk and Bulis help him produce offensively.
-
I'm not a fan of this move. I'd rather a defensive prospect that isn't like Aitken in return.
-
Well...he knows what it takes to win.
But he's also known for being a bit of a prick.
I don't see him being that great at it.
-
Hey, give the writer some credit!
He somehow managed to write an article while jerking off John Ferguson Jr.

Who cares? Put him on waivers. It's no loss to us if he goes anywhere else.

Sundstrum is a PK and defensive specialist. He'll be penciled in on the 4th line, but him and Begin will be taking on a lot of ice-time during the PK (Don't forget, this is the "new ice age") and when we're trying to protect a lead.
Fine, I'll give you that. However, if Higgins proves to be adept at the same role, then Sunny won't need to stick around.

Great! Then I'll do my official "Nobody gives a shit, but I do it anyway" line breakdown.
Perezhogin - Koivu - Kovalev
Latendresse - Ribeiro - Ryder
Bulis - Bonk - Hossa
Higgins - Bégin - Sundstrom
Get used to those bottom lines ladies and gentlemen. Aside from the occasional Pleks and Enforcer, those lines will be a constant.
However, is it just me or is Sunny's salary too much for a 4th line player? If that's his spot (and with Hossa and Bulis's play so far, that will be his spot) then I have to again state he will be traded. He's a 2nd or 3rd line player on other teams, and his salary backs that up.
Also, two tough guys left in camp, and neither are dressed tonight? I'm not even sure Ivanans has been in a preseason game yet!
The rookie - vet - vet line combos on the top two lines are nice, though Tender seems to be set up to fail since Ribiero's play hasn't been true to form lately, and this is Ryder's first game of the preseason AND he's coming off an injury. Let's see what Latendresse does against the odds.
As I mentioned before, no Pleks in the lineup. Has he already earned his spot while the other rookies are still fighting? I think so.
Bulis - Bonk - Hossa
A few years ago, that line would have been our #1 or 2.

Could you please tell us when you do?
The current lineup looks great. With Plekanec out you'd have to wonder if he's been guaranteed a spot already.
-
Yeah, his take on the Habs defence seemed a bit off.
-
Zednik - Plekanec - Latendresse
Dagenais - Ribeiro - Perezhogin
Kostitsyn - Locke - Ferland
Higgins - Bégin - Vandermeer
Anyone else notice that second line? It's the second audition for Ribiero and Ryder's linemate for the season. Should be interesting.
I like seeing Plekanec given a shot at an offensive role, and Higgins on Begin's wing is just tasty.
This should be Ferland's last game before being cut.
-
I think he was cut on his own a few days ago
-
Did Michaud even get into a game?
I considered him a dark horse for the backup job. Give him a few games till Huet gets back, then depending on if he does an average or a horrible job, send him down to the AHL or ECHL or trade him.
-
well I jumped the gun on a few guys I guess. Ferland, Locke, and Archer get to stick around
-
I'm gonna go with Price, Michaud, Benoit, Archer, Aitken, Ferland, Chipchura, Locke, Lambert.
I understand Cote has been playing very well I'd might get the nod for a couple more games before being cut. With him will either be Streit or Hainsey, but not yet.
I think Kostitsyn will make it to the last cut, if only to light a fire under his ass to try to impress all year in Hamilton. Same with Latendresse, cause he's proved his worth all camp.
Ivanans and Vandermeer still need to have a quick spar during a practice to see who gets the spot on the Habs roster.
-

Sorry guys.
Well, you know what to do....
;)Habs have scored since. I'm sticking around :/)

Mark Streit isn't making a good case for himself here with these penalties
4 players to cut

No point in making a new thread on this, but when will the next cuts happen? Tomorrow before the game, or Monday after the game?
(God I hope they don't keep both Vandermeer and Ivanans)
