alfredoh2009 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I am starting a thread on changes to the Taxi squad, I hope it is useful at some point Per Cap Friendly, today’s brochette includes : Hillis, Cameron Verbeek, Hayden Lindgren, Charlie Frolík, Michael with Mete and Lehkonen being healthy scratches on the active roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It's a good idea as we don't really have a spot to put these. I try to update these on the site as well when I can. Expect Byron to be on the transactions list for today to be added to the group as well as probably one of the waiver-exempt guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both will be recalled tomorrow (unless they scratch Byron). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Suzuki is today's taxi squad cap casualty. With Chiarot out, they can only now send one player down and Byron is back to being waiver-eligible having played in 11 games since clearing waivers. I was expecting him back on waivers today but maybe they'll wait to do that until they're back home (due to recall quarantine issues).

Trizzak Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Doubt the league or the players association care much, but it is interesting how often the Habs have put players on the taxi squad that they have no intention (and now even physical ability) of playing.

It's certainly goofy but in reality, whoever they put there wouldn't be eligible anyway given the quarantine on travel rules. Whether they put Olofsson there, Verbeek (who was there Monday), or Poehling, it's all the same. When I'm on the night shift on PHR, I often spend the last hour doing all the taxi squad transactions - I can safely say Montreal is far from the only team doing something like that.

GHT120 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Good effort in the third (sort of) gets back the point they lost in the first game in Vancouver on this trip when the Habs gave up the tying goal with less than a minute left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The Habs have sent Laurent Dauphin back to Laval. He had been on the taxi squad before being moved to the active roster on Monday and would have played had the game gone ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Yesterday, the Habs assigned Evans to the Taxi squad and moved Suzuki out of it. On Taxi squad: Gustav Olofssson, Charlie Lindgren, Jake Evans, Paul Byron, Michael Frolik, Xavier Ouelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 While I'm sure they'd have liked to get Olofsson down too, that would have put the Habs below the minimum of four on the taxi squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Taxi Squad for today is: Caufield (still in COVID protocol) Vejdemo (he may be recuperating from injury), Olofsson (surprised to see him here) Lindgren (in limbo this season) I am surprised that you can put players that were on the injury list and on COVID protocol in the taxi squad. Loophole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole? No one said players on the taxi squad have to be healthy. Caufield has been sent down, by the way. Frolik will be sent down after the pregame warmup to bring it back to four. Yes, Vejdemo is also injured. It'd be nice to get Olofsson down to Laval to play but who comes up to replace him? Ouellet is already down there to get playing time and the only other d-men that can be recalled are Leskinen, Brook, and Fleury, all prospects they want to keep in the Laval lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if after a few days, Ouellet and Olofsson are flipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 After yesterday's game, the Habs sent Gustav Olofsson to Laval. While they didn't announce it, Brandon Baddock was recalled to bring the taxi squad back to four players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Is there any chance that we will see Baddock in Montreal this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
