Hopefully major cuts after tonight’s game...

 

The speculation all week has been that the cuts will either be coming after this one or sometime on Friday.   I think regular waivers open up tomorrow so they may be waiting for that to happen as well.

I am happy to see Peca on back to backs.

So happy that Hudon and Lehkonen are in the same line

 

If Ouellet is able to shine while

playing with Despres, he would notch up in my D depth list 

 

I missed hockey so much!

Think he has earned it from what you have seen already? May be a bit early to ask that question.

 

I would send him to Finland.  I absolutely would not rush him.

 

Too much of the future of this team depends on him developping properly

 

I'd be more willing to consider 9 games for Suzuki as he's a year older. 

 

Remember, not only is Kotkaniemi an 18-year-old, he is also one of the youngest players in the draft, compare him to Tkachuk and hes like 10 months younger.

I’m with you in spirit.

 

But what if he forces the issue? Or maybe just give him the 9 games for the experience but like you said the Habs would be forced to waive a potential player. It’s an interesting situation. He has looked damn good though, I’m feeling pretty happy from what I have seen from him thus far.

The great thing about Finland is that the season ends before the NHL season ends.  You tell him... look kid... go to Finland, have a good season, have a good World Juniors, work on x,y,z and when the season is done we'll give you a few NHL games in March/April.  We only get 9 games with you, so we want to save them. 

 

That is also a time of year when there is no roster limit.
