tomh009 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Edmundson? I vaguely recall someone by that name playing for the Habs somewhere in the distant past. It seems like it was a good memory, so hopefully he really is returning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Jeff Petry is wearing a no-contact jersey at practice. He's day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Jake Evans, Paul Byron, Joel Edmundson, Jonathan Drouin and Christian Dvorak are also practicing with no-contact jerseys. Jake Allen is back at practice as well. https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1500963218239467522?s=20&t=4kxq4_E-S1T4TW-ds4pWcg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Price and Allen are both skating. We can practice 3 on 3 OT with 2 goalies and non-contact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real right or wrong way to do it but generally, teams only bench a guy for trade purposes a week out from the deadline at most. An acquiring team isn't going to want their new player coming in extra rusty. I could see management giving him one more home game (with a full house for the first time in a bit) as a 'sendoff' of sorts and then sit him soon after that. There are also roster considerations. If Edmundson isn't ready tomorrow as planned, if Petry can't go, etc, they may need Chiarot just to dress six defencemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are kind of stuck waiting since Giordano, Klingberg, and lindholm are available for probably around similar prices, and I think if I was looking to give up a first, I’d prefer them myself. Chyhrun is also available, albeit to teams that have, and are willing to give up more quality young prospects. The risk of waiting of course is being stuck and getting type of return Garth Snow got from us at the last minute for Vanek. Why can’t the isles hire another Milbury, or Snow??

For Klingberg, since he's only 29 and still pretty good at what he does, I would not put him in the same category as Giordano and Chiarot. The team that will get Klingberg will probably go the Trade + Sign route and will have to pay a bit extra (like NYI did for Pageau). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REV-G Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Apparently according to Renaud Lavoie, Carey Price is doing very well right now. He was on the ice for 45 minutes in full gear and took some shots. Lavoie reported that Price and the team are planning on him playing in April. Both sides want him to play before this season finishes. Good news. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Edmundson will be activated off IR and will play tonight. Dvorak, Drouin, and Allen are all practicing but won't play this weekend. Dvorak has been cleared for limited contact. Hammond will be re-evaluated soon so it doesn't appear as if he'll be back anytime soon. Montreal has a full roster so a move will need to be made to activate Edmundson. My guess is it'll be Paquette to IR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that made sense ... and what MB would have done ... seems that H&G are less worried about possible media sensitivity to a Francophone being demoted ... good news for Paquette is that he is on a one-way contract (full salary in the AHL) ... wonder if (a) he will report and (b) will be any help to the Rocket if he does?

dlbalr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 If he wants to be paid, he'll report. Considering all the injuries Laval has, he couldn't hurt them, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it looks like we'll still have Drouin, Dauphin, Perreault and Montembeault on the roster. I think that's more francophone players than we have had in a long time.

dlbalr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The Dallas game would give him two games before the trade deadline. Is that enough for interested teams to be convinced he's back to form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that enough for interested teams to be convinced he's back to form? The Habs sure have some massive 4 point games coming up, Seattle, Philly, Arizona. It's not a bad week to cool down a bit. It is good that Jake Allen is coming back, another trade option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that doctor's OK before a trade is a pretty standard clause ... but I believe it is at the moment of the trade not down the road (i.e., can't give him two more weeks after the trade to re-hab and then decide) ... not certain a "medical" can even be done later than the deadline.
