les_glorieux Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 http://rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/188705.html thought they might keep price a little longer... [Edited on 9/26/2005 by les_glorieux] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 yeah, but considering that it seems from now on theo will be getting the great majority of playing time, they need to reserve the remaining time for danis to get him ready for the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i'm suprised that kostitsyn is still in montreal...is he ever going to play in preseason ??

Habitforming Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Not a surprise to see Price go. It did shock me that Benoit was cut though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I also would have liked to have seen Price stay til the end of camp and take part in another game, but I understand the need for playing Theo and Danis as often as posible. Thought there would have been more cuts today. Guess that will wait until after tomorrow's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yep AK17 played against the Laffs. No real suprise with the cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm not surprised by any of those cuts. Price: Did well in pre-season. Played up to his draft rank and that's encouraging, but he had to be exceptionnaly spectacular to leap over Danis and that wouldn't happen. He needs to gets loads of starts and that wasn't going to happen in Montreal as Theo's backup. This was written in the sky. Chipchura: Had a somewhat uneventful camp. Didnt really stood out, didn't really stunk up. He doesnt look ready and needs to play more hockey because of all that time he missed last season. Lambert & Benoit: stayed longer than expected because they played well. That's encouraging, but they're not NHL material yet. They should have a good season in the AHL if they build on their camp success. Aitken: was probably kept this long to evaluate what he could do in the NHL. For a guy that played many games in the NHL a couple of years ago, it's somewhat dissapointing to see him cut this early. Should bolster the Bulldogs and that's all. Michaud: Nothing much to say about him. Probably only sticked this long to work with Melanson and that's about it. Will fight Halak for a job in Hamilton.

Trizzak Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 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.

sakukoivumc11 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 what about the defenseman from making the cut ? Is he still in camp ? I believe his name is Lavallee ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I think he was cut on his own a few days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33_ Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 He was cut a few days ago. Didn't make much news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett38 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 No real surprise. I thought that there might have been a couple more added here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Chipchura had a great game against Atlanta but he never really had a shot at making the team this year. We were supposed to expect 4 more. I guess Cote and Ferland are getting a closer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 All these guys were fully expected to be cut.... it won't be long before Corey Locke, Andrei Kostitsyn, Andrew Archer, Jonathan Ferland, Mark Streit, and unless he scored 3 or 4 goals in the home and home against Boston Guillaume Latendresse. I expect Hainsey, Higgins, Plekanac, Hossa and Perezhogin to make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookworm Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i agree completely with those predictions on who makes it kaos. it's nice to see hossa earning a spot so far...this is the one i was kinda skeptical about but he is earning it.

Tony_ Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Didn't the junior seasons begin? I don't get why they didn't cut Latendresse. I seriously doubt he'll make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was an article on it on RDS.ca. http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/188407.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, RDS TV speculates that Perezhogin risks being part of the next cut. No real reason was given, his name was just one of a list of possible cuts in the not too distant future.

Peter Puck Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I am surprised to see Ferland still around. I guess they want to encourage him. I think the reason Perezhogin may be cut is that he can be sent back to Hamilton without risking losing him on waivers. This gives Gainey some time to make a trade. If he does get cut, I expect to see Perezhogin with the Habs after a trade within the first month (or after an injury). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think Kaos's predictions are accurate: remember that Ryder is still nursing a sore ankle. With our depth there is no reason to rush him into service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
