I don't see Weber on your list. I would be interested to see why you don't think Wyman and Desharnais would not have to clear wavers to play in Hamilton. Sanford, unless you have him pegged as a back-up in Montreal I think he is gone. It would be interesting to know if any of the tryouts in the developmental have a chance to stick.

Right now, there's 7 d-men in Montreal not including Weber. As it stands, he starts in Hamilton (I think). Desharnais is 1 full year away from waivers or 64 NHL GP, so he's exempt to start. Same for Wyman, exempt for 1 more year, except he's 67 games away from the threshold. I'm not sure about Sanford, he could stay in Hamilton depending on what happens so I just put him in the UFA column for now.

I have been told that the Bulldogs would like to have Sanford back again next season. I guess we'll see what happens...

Habs sign D Frederic St. Denis for Hamilton while the Bulldogs signed D David Urquhart who played with the Hartford Wolf Pack last season.

I read somewhere to-day that ex-bulldog Jimmy Bonneau had been resigned by the dogs, can't remember where I read it.

HF Boards has both Urquhart (David) and Bonneau listed as AHL contracts.

Bulldogs sign D Neil Petruic to a minor league deal. An 8th round pick of Ottawa in 2001, he split last season between the ECHL and AHL - in the 'A', he played for Binghamton/Manitoba.
