Commandant Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm glad Kane made it to the game. I would have thought he'd be in Ottawa with the anti-vaxxers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, playing with McDavid and Yamamoto. Will it be Lehkonen-Suzuki-Toffoli against them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 If the Habs are interested his suspension would be up after the habs first game following the break and he would be available when the Caps came to Montreal ... I'd rather him (or another journeyman) and Primeau back in Laval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think the Habs would rather do a trade than a waiver claim but yes, that's the type of goalie that makes some sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Curious question, and I can't really think of any other similar situations, but the Sharks terminated Kane's contract and Kane has a filed a grievance. Now that he is an Oiler what would happen exactly if Kane wins his grievance? Would that nullify his contract with the Oilers? Would the Sharks be forced to take him back or would they have to buy him out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, if Kane wins, he could be owed the money from the contract but the contract itself wouldn't be restored. Here's a good piece from Vancouver's former assistant GM (who worked on the legal side of things) from the other day with a note about that scenario: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/gear-how-will-nhl-investigation-impact-evander-kanes-grievance/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure, because it is a rare situation that doesn't come up very often. I was somewhat surprised when there was talk that Kane could sign with another team. I assumed that his grievance would have to be resolved before that could happen. Thinking about it, there was a somewhat similar contract termination situation that I recall regarding Richards when he was caught at the border with Oxycontin. The Kings claimed he had breached his contract and used that to dump him. I forget how that ended but I'm pretty sure that the NHLPA eventually got involved and backed Richards.

They settled that one. The Kings paid somewhere less than a full buyout and had it count against the camp. The arbitrator would have had to decide was the termination legal (0 to Richards).... or not (a full buyout to richards). Instead of letting the arbitrator decide they agreed to meet somwhere in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 So, it's not just the Habs that have goaltending woes. Rask, finally back in Boston, is now out with a lower-body injury, so it's back to Ullmark and Swayman. Dallas outshot the Bruins 29-26 -- but Swayman and Ullmark gave up six goals on those 29 shots for a 6-1 final. Sound familiar? As for our goalies, I feel like they are shell-shocked and demoralized from the lack of defensive support in recent games. Maybe the break will help them, and hopefully Hughes will have a second NHL goalie, allowing Primeau to return to the Rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 For fans, it seems quite a change to see Hughes not mincing words and being bit more open already than MB/Bob/Goat ever were. I do not know if that is a good thing or not, but many fans/media have asked for it for long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Big difference to me with MB (who was pretty candid) is that Hughes is not saying “I cannot do that for the players, they want to win and I have to respect that” Hughes is saying the right thing from an organization perspective regardless on how that may affect players although he is still being diplomatic about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 If true, Martin Madden Jr. will have been passed over ... would he want to leave Anaheim? ... is his contract up or would the Ducks let him (disgruntled? employee) go? ... would he consider Montreal? ... curious minds want to know (or at least mine does).

It's official now. I get the sense that Madden Jr. probably won't be too upset about the outcome. He's really a behind the scenes guy with the AGM title being more honourary than indicative of his spot in the hierarchy and he definitely seems to prefer being behind the scenes. Many don't realize Timmins was an AGM his last several years as well - the title is a way to give them a raise and protect them from teams trying to poach them but I don't think anyone realistically thinks those head scouts are going to be anything but head scouts in the long run. Part of the reason Madden Jr. made some sense in theory was that Gorton would effectively be the GM in reality with Madden Jr. taking Timmins' role with a higher-paying title, not that Madden Jr. was going to come in and be the top decision-maker on everything. Unless Verbeek wants to bring his own top scout in, I expect Madden Jr. will happily stay put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Engels made me laugh with his lineup today, took me a few seconds to figure out the 3rd pair D! Ben Chiarot once again lines up on the right side. He’s proven over his time in MTL he’s more than capable there. I will say, not sure how much he’ll be there throughout the game. There was a lot of rotation happening last game, and I suppose at today’s morning skate as well https://t.co/RDbGm1gw6L — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 8, 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Not Hab related but, if only... Such a different player than #99/#66 were. Not sure who is even a comparable (the Rocket, B.Hull, Lindros?)? But, the man is some strong on his slates, that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
