For the Habs, though, this is the right thing to do. Hopefully Merrill will pan out, and some of our D prospects (in Laval and elsewhere) develop into solid NHL players.

I share the same opinion on Mete Merill seems like a perfect 3rd pair LD for the Habs. Will be a good player to have for Brook and/or Fleury when they come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 We certainly have an "experienced" D corps now. Including the taxi squad: Weber: 35 Petry: 33 Chiarot: 29 Merrill: 29 Gustafsson: 29 Edmundson: 27 Kulak: 27 Ouellet: 27 Leskinen: 24 Romanov: 21 That's only two players under 25. And five of the over-25s are already signed for next season or beyond. It'll be interesting to see who is actually staying for next season.

Trizzak Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Asked by Arpon Basu if there was a trade market for Victor Mete at all Bergevin said, "Ya, I was offered a first round pick but I figured I should just put him on waivers." ... "So that's a no?" "That's a no." How dare he make jokes about my special boy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I usually like Basu, but his interractions with Bergevin are painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What that means is that none of the teams that are in, or possibly have any hope of trying to make, the playoffs (about 22 by my count) and likely knowing they had no chance of landing him on waivers were willing to offer even a 7th round pick for a defenceman with 185 games of NHL experience and a $735K cap hit to fill even a 7/8 depth position.

I sounded like a prepared answer IMO ... try to use some humour to deflect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
