dlbalr Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Someone else had been hoping for this one too if you look back in our discussion yesterday... I like this pickup a lot. He hasn't had much of a look in the NHL but has been decent in his opportunities and there is some offensive upside there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 4 goals in 11 games for the leafs. Decent production in AHL. Could he be a hidden gem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, you called me out on Gélinas Now we can say that theHaba bottom 6 is better than last year. More production can be expected and there are multiple Options for face offs which should improve results on set plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 the kid doesn't seem to have much positive coverage from Maple Leaf's beat reporters, at least none that I could find. He played the 4 years of his draft eligibility and was a late pick at 92 in 2016. His NHL advanced stats are better than the depth players, remaining UFAs and waived players I've seen this off season. He could be a "David Desharnais" type of player if he gets to play with Hoffman and Gallagher. But I would expect him to start on the 4th line, whenever he starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It’s always fun to imagine that we’ve snatched an overlooked gem. Then again, I recall the same hope around Niku - which, too be fair, may yet be fulfilled, but which has dampened down considerably after a dubious and injury-wrecked preseason. All that said, even if he doesn’t work out at this level, he is a young-ish FW who can add some legit quality to the AHL team. Really no downsides to this.

Peter Puck Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Well Vegas got him so I wouldn't call that "long before" Montreal. My question is really, would they risk putting claims on both and getting both. I guess the only downside would be with their 50 contract limit and even then they could waive one and hope their team grabs him back.

For roster compliance purposes, they could have put claims in for both. Had they got both, they'd have just sent Poehling down to get back to 23 on the opening roster with Belzile hitting waivers soon after.

tomh009 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This puts the Habs' cap at $91,951,370. If you deduct $10,500,000 from that, you get $81,451,370 -- compliant, and only $49K below the normal cap limit. Very close indeed. So, this is surely the Habs' final move for now, bar putting Price on "training camp LTIR" to open the season, which then sets the Habs' cap limit at $81,451,370 for the season. Once the season starts, they'll be able to put Weber and/or Byron on LTIR without affecting the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send Poehling ($750K) down and add Khisamutdinov ($795K) - that could have put them within ~$4,000. Then flip the two back tomorrow on Day 1 of the season. Oh well, it shouldn't be a big issue either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Brooks waiver claim would have precluded that flip. He's on the opening roster and is included with being $49K shy of the limit.
