I have him as a longshot candidate to break with the Habs next year, to be honest. He has shown enough to be signed so I imagine Montreal would want to get him in their system.

dlbalr Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Blake Biondi enters the transfer portal and will stay for his fifth year (which won't be around much longer). This means Montreal should hold his rights for one more year instead of losing them in mid-August. https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldogs-hockey/biondi-leaving-umd-hermantown-native-enters-transfer-portal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the big question will be whether he thinks he can crack the Habs' lineup (whether immediately or later) or whether he worries about getting stuck in Laval. Sweden is probably preferable to riding the bus for the Rocket at $70K/year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing training camp may be deciding factor if he plays in Laval or Europe, wouldnt another year there be fine for his development anyways?
