PMAC Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Bergevin gets Nate Thompson and a 5th round pick for a 4th rounder. Bargain shopping for sure but is Thompson much of an upgrade on Chaput? Also, what is the next move to clear a roster spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well we sure didn't give up much. Probably a case of you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I'm not stoked about this pickup, but for the cost and the 4th line Julien wants to deploy, it makes sense. I think I'd prefer Weise - Peca - Hudon to Weise - Thompson - Deslauriers, but I'm beginning to wonder if we've seen Peca's last game as a centreman.

Meller93 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I’m not sure I like a 4th line that isn’t speedy enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Chaput should follow Agostino down the waiver wire Don't know much about Thompson , I just hope he is better and would have prevented being mauled by TO's 4th line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs#4,9,10,33 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thompson’s faceoff % is at a respectful 53%. Helping that 4th line win faceoffs and eat up minutes. Any Faceoff% numbers on Chaput and Peca this year? Just curious on the upgrade if much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danault takes a substantial amount of the team's draw and is at 53% as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Habs already had their man...Deslauriers is 100% this year! (1 for 1). Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 They trade Calgary's fourth for Arizona's fifth, so the move is basically 10-15 spots around the 120th or so pick. The Habs basically give up nothing in the deal. Now to see how they clear the roster space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peca hasn't spent much time at centre lately. Even when he has been in the lineup lately, it has mostly been on the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 So what do people think of the new fourth line? A lot of experience but I like the speed peca brings. To bad Hudon couldn't put it together. I always thought he was one step away from being a good third liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 A 4th line of Weise-Thompson-Armia would be good once Byron is back. Swap Weise with Deslaurier if you want, and it is still better than what we had before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Weise back in NHL with Habs..No sir, I dont like it...dont like it at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 What’s not to like? Weise replaces Agostino, Folin replaces Alzner, Thompson replaces Chaput (I hope) and one of Hudon, Peca or Deslauriers goes when Byron is ready to return. ( I hope they keep Peca simply as his speed is a weapon) Presto, chango an improved 4th line and a better depth defense option with almost no assets given up. I hope that Bergevin has an impact move up his sleeve, but who knows maybe Montreal will reinvigorate Weise again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The habs 4th line was awful, they literally did nothing. CJ knows it and MB responded. I wouldnt do much honestly, don't see a good LD being available without giving up too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 if we stick with the current lines... drouin danault gallagher tatar Domi Shaw lelhkonan JK ARmia Weise Thompson Byron Deslauriers Hudon mete weber reilly petry kulak benn frolin price niemi *At least Weise has wheels and can skate with Byron (somewhat) and thompson brings a high energy hard working game and is a decent FO man. Not sure if im sold on shaw on the 2nd line as Byron is to good for the 4th. AT least this line would have a chance to be more sound defensively with a chance at some secondary scoring. i dont see CJ breaking up the Finn line at the moment given its recent sucess and puck possession dominance. Could Weise be lightning in a bottle on the 4th line? i hope so. we know he will be super motivated to play for his child hood dream team again!!

Commandant Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 On Weise, we got rid of Schlemko's contract in the deal, and also picked up Folin as a RHD who replaces Alzner as our backup D man. We also gave up Froese. Even if he's a complete bust, there is nothing to complain about as Folin is an upgrade, and Schlemko/Froese are not losses to the team. Even salary wise its basically a wash between Schlemko and Weise next year, (250k difference). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining...simply trying to say I expect very little from Weise at all...similar to the other washed up vets that Bergy has brought in. But cost and other plus's are good.

huzer Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Surprising nobody, Chaput clears and heads to Laval to make room for Thompson. Hopefully Thompson can help the Habs, and Chaput can held Laval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
