habscout Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Here's a sign that the Habs really want to keep Lapierre up with the team for the rest of the season. They put Downey on 24 hour waivers today, as a move to free up space for the return of Alexei Kovalev. I guess the improved play of Garth Murray has helped his cause to stay with the pro club, since he was put on waivers earlier this month, without any takers amongst the rest of the league's teams. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...ortsHockey/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesquik Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah, Murray is better then Downey in the past game, but I think no body will pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Maybe it's an opening for trades and a real tough guy coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Maybe it's an opening for trades and a real tough guy coming in. With Milroy being sent down and Begin still hurt with a broken foot (expected later this week), it is a real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 If they trade Souray to the ducks, they should get Parros as a player in that deal. he'll fight. Plus he has that 70's pornstar mustache going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze53 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I think it's a good move by the Habs cuzz the Hamilton Bulldogs need all the help they can get down there, that is if Downey is sent down to the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 No big loss. Downey's biggest moment was telling Crosby to stop whinning. Murray is the better player which really isn't saying much. Should dump him as well and get Kostitsyn back up. Maybe pick up a tough guy tomorrow at the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think the Yotes are shopping Laraque... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 On Habsinsideout.com they posted that Downey cleared waivers earlier today, and will be sent down to Hamilton. I'm not terribly surprised, given the improved play of other 4th line players. http://www.habsinsideout.com/2007/02/downe..._hamilton/#more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Downey is a great team guy he will go down there make some friends and be a great team guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
