The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This guy was our leading AHL scorer but seems to be totally out of the running as a possible NHL call-up. Is it just his age (28), or are there bigger holes in his game? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForumGhost Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 He's pretty much gunna be a career AHLer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Re-entry waivers - he made too much last year to risk recall, same case this season. I honestly don't think anyone would pick him up off re-entry. I just don't think Montreal is that interested in calling him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was on his tear last season (the hottest scorer in the league), I think someone would've taken a gamble for what would've been a meagre cost - about $80,000 by then on re-entry. The Habs were so tight to the cap that they couldn't have taken the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
