Mark Napier Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Don't think he was ever considered a favourite to make the team but he's really showing something this preseason. Really playing well and he has 5 points I believe maybe leading the team in points. So does he make the team? Is there room for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hab4life Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Considering he was the leading scorer with the Bulldogs, I'm pretty sure that the habs knew he was ready. Especially with the lock out last year, management was able to really take a look minor league players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Think the Habs always thought he had a good chance to make the team. Also, he would have to clear waivers to be sent down and that won't happen. Think Hossa, Plekanec and Higgins are locks to make the team. Perezhogin can be sent down without clearing waivers. He's been good, but not dominant. He'll have to knock Dags off the team to make it and that remains to be seen. I like how the two will be playing on the same line again tonight.

MAK Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 plekanec will be there or he will be traded. I would bet on the first option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleky looks very well at the moment and tonight come to a key-match for him, I think. We'll see! I believe in him. We need somebody in :que: this year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Oh no! What's Pleky doing with a Senators' jersey on????? You guys in Kladno know something we don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Habby2919 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I can see him making the 3rd line with Bulis and Bonk, that would be a good line if he keeps preforming the way he is now. And a 4th line with Vandermeer, Begin, and (Sundstrom,Higgins, or Hossa) wouldnt be too awfully shabby either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Napier Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 OK so Plekanec makes the team but the numbers are just too much. Hossa, Plekanec, and Perezhogin can't go down without clearing waivers so they have to stay. So how does Higgins stay up as well? I would think that one of these guys would have to steal Dags place but he is getting the goals this pre-season and is playing well. I'm glad that Gainey didn't go crazy with the free agents because it's hard enough trying to get the guys that are here on the roster.

Rooster Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Perezhogin is the only one of these guys that can be sent down without clearing waivers. My feeling is that unless he really impresses over Dags, Perezhogin will be sent down (to be called up if Dags doesn't produce). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Napier Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Are you sure Perezhogin can play in Hamilton? Isn't he still banned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Plekanec is a "maudit bon joueur" (hell of a player).. that's from the CKAC French play-by-play guy. Can't wait to be able to watch him play on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Good point Napier. I don't know if he is still banned from the AHL (my comment was that he doesn't have to clear waivers if sent down). Wasn't it a one year North America ban? In which case he could play in Hamilton.

BTH Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 He was banned from the AHL (or NA, same thing) for ONE season. The NHL was locked out, not the AHL. While the AHL season was going on, Perezhogin joined the NHlers in Europe and blended into the crowd. Now he's back and has served his years suspension from the AHL/NA.

Le démon brun Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 are you sure perezhogin doesn't have to clear waivers? Him and Plekanec were drafted in 2001. Why is it that one must clear waivers and not the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
