They didn't know the rules. Now GMs have 2-3 years to know what they will be facing, and can manipulate their rosters well in advance. This wasn't from Gilman, but my on though on how this applies to two players on the Habs... Kotkaniemi and Suzuki. The Habs are better off putting Suzuki in the OHL, where he won't accumulate a year of pro experience... and Kotkaniemi in Finland... where he won't accumulate a year of pro experience (he would in the AHL)... under the old expansion draft rules. Depending when Seattle comes in, this is the difference between protecting the players or them being exempt from the draft and giving us more protection slots. Great post. I have been trying to keep tabs on players and line-ups with the expansion in mind. A way to pass the time : guessing who would be on the CH protection list snd like your notes say, it is a good strategy for team to think about this a couple of years ahead of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordeleau had one good season with Nashville and was gone. Who did the Predators take instead? Tomas Vokoun, who is still the second best goalie in Predators history, behind only Rinne. 1 And to keep it with the Habs, Bordeleau is now a skills consultant with Montreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Six weeks for Schlemko (knee). That really simplifies the last round of cuts on the back end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that happening unless the Habs are somehow right up against the cap. If they have the room, they may as well keep him (or trade and retain) so that there's no further cap effect beyond 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary is lower than his AAV (which, I suspect, is about the only factor they care about now) so I guess that could be a possibility.

dlbalr Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Jacob de la Rose is back at practice so we're not far from a roster move being forced as activating him will move the Habs to 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why we'd bother adding him to the roster, but I guess those are the constraints ya gotta put up with. 'Cardiac episode' certainly sounds alarming, though!!

I don’t hear another voice saying it but on the other end of the spectrum, I personally have high opinion of Scherbak’s future. It’s not only that De La Rose is a boring player, but Scherbak will be quite the player. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
