dlbalr Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I don't know what to make of this one. Are they viewing him as a 7/8 that's going to stay on the NHL roster or are they looking at him as #1 in Laval (pending waivers) that's the first recall when injuries strike?

Taormina and Morrow (if he clears waivers - Taormina should without much issue) go a long way towards slotting in people at the appropriate spot on the depth chart.

All of the players he's picked up are the type you should be able to develop within your organization. We are taking about depth players. These are the guys that a blind man should be able to draft and develop. Mid he has to make that many moves to fill depth gaps after being here for five friggin year's, that is the biggest possible indictment that can be made against him. You can argue that after 5 years they had bad luck not getting a few more elite players (an argument I don't buy), but as Balki would say that's absolutely ridiculous that MB has to fill this many holes after 5 years on the job. If this was year one or even two, Ok, l but after 5 years, most guys not named Milbury or Gary Snow would be getting fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Morrow gets the league minimum $650K on the contract. As he's only 24, he'll be eligible for restricted free agency after the season if the Habs want to keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerabek has the European Assignment Clause, I don't think Laval is really in the cards for him. It's NHL or KHL most likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
