Mitchell's injury must not be too bad then. They had to waive someone to activate Petry off IR (which they have apparently done) and even if Shaw were to be suspended, they wouldn't be able to replace him on the roster. In other words, if Shaw is suspended, they can only carry a 22-man active roster. 7 minutes ago, mineral said: Do we think he's going to clear? I'd be surprised if he cleared. As much as I'm not a big fan of his, he's young and he's cheap with a bit of NHL success under his belt. Someone usually takes a flyer on those guys.

A player whose game relied on opportunism, he was/is too one-dimensional to be likely to emerge as a legit top-6 player on a strong team, and I'm not sure he makes any sense in a bottom-6 role. To me he's a prototypical "expansion team" roster player and I wouldn't be shocked to find him landing in Las Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habiman Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 He's got speed but lost something since last year....he looked flat last night...not a good sign when your in the lineup on opening night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKross Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Agreed- he doesn't make it through. I think we have the best roster this year, probably since we won the cup. Our Achille's heel may be our size when the going gets tough. I don't put any of the three in my personnel small category. I am more concerned with the 5'8' and less, 180 and less. For me those players have to be elite, and we don't as yet have anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 So it was a choice between Andrighetto or Flynn to go on waivers so Sergachev could stay up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that way. Of course, the more ideal solution would have been to cut Sergachev (who apparently will be a healthy scratch tomorrow) and keep Andrighetto around as cheap depth.

habs rule Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If you are going to sit Sergachev send him to the minors even for one or 2 games. You can waive ghetto anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Personally I always liked ghetto. I think we could see him put up 30-40 points somewhere he gets an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't go to St. John's and if he's assigned to the OHL, he can only be recalled in an emergency situation (when the team drops to five healthy d-men).

JGC21 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I think he'll clear. Teams had to make cuts to their own rosters/players to start the year, I see no one taking a chance on Andrighetto. He may be cheap but he's also small and hasn't done much to impress anyone. If Shaw and Mitchell are out of the lineup I would rather see McCarron called up.

If that was an option then that's the route I would have taken. I know people want Sergachev to be up in order to get a taste of the big league and I'm on board with that but I also don't personally expect him to be up for more than 9 games. Like Meller, I like Andrighetto and think with the right opportunity he could come close to 20 goals. Whether or not he gets that opportunity seems to be unlikely though. I only see a weak team picking him up and I'm not sure he'd have the right linemates to be useful. I like Ghetto because his strength is his goal scoring and players like that are a rare breed. I hope he clears but I also agree that there are arguably many players who have surpassed him on the depth chart and so it's not the hugest deal.

Trizzak Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 As far as Andrighetto being on the Habs is concerned, I'm not sure he fits on the team and I don't mind losing him. But I don't want to lose him for free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 To me Ghetto is the new version of Oleg Petrov. I don't mind losing him. He's got some offensive skill but not enough to really contribute on a good team. In the now.... Lehkonen and Carr are already better than him. Byron is also better. Hudon is in the minors and is just as good and can be called up if we need too. Better defensively too. In the future.... Scherbak will be knocking on the door soon, Hopefully Reway comes back Will Bitten is looking great I don't see where he fits now or in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
