alfredoh2009 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 hello, I saw this posting in another thread and I thought it would be great to have a thread on players that will come through the waiver wire and that the Habs may pickup. I liked some of the trades HughGort made and how he has shed some players we thought untradeable. Kovacevic was a smart pickup and I am thinking that he may do it again this season. in case you didn't know, the first few weeks or month of the season, the Habs will be in the waiver queue based on last season's standings == close to first dibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think the Habs will be adding to the waiver pool this year with Primeau and not taking anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The Habs picking someone up off of waivers seems unlikely. The Habs have a log jam of players and a team would have to royally mess up to waive a player of significance that the Habs could use. In that event, the player would probably help the teams below the Habs anyway so another team would get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but last year they surprised us with the Kovacevic pickup (I was gladly surprised) I believe that they could repeat if the opportunity arises. Also, it will be nice to track the Habs players (like Primeau) who may be waived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is that they’ll trade at least one, and probably two, of Primeau, DeSmith and Allen—but not until the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado is apparently looking for a backup goalie as Francouz will not be ready to start the season. I could see them trading for DeSmith.

They'll maintain a strong priority on the waiver list until Nov 1st.

tomh009 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Two ex-Habs waived by the Pens ... we could get Pitlick back for free, but he's not a fit for our plans, nor do we have space on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup no room Reminder to everyone, if you claim a player on waivers you cant send them to Laval unless you waive them again, so he'd need to be on the roster. Id rather keep ylonen.

Sir_Boagalott Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hmm, I'm surprised to see Pitlick was waived. I figured he would be a good fit with Crosby or Malkin and be resigned by Pitts. I've only followed the Habs so I have no idea but I'm definitely wondering if Pitlick had any ice time with Crosby or Malkin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only followed the Habs so I have no idea but I'm definitely wondering if Pitlick had any ice time with Crosby or Malkin? I think Pitlick could have worked with Pittsburgh had their cap situation been cleaner. But with them being very tight to the cap and having guys like Hinostroza, Nylander, and Johnsson all signed for $800,000 or less (plus Colin White on a PTO; he'd sign for the minimum if he gets a deal most likely), he stood zero chance of making it. That few hundred thousand difference might be the bulk of their cap space to start the season. Ty Smith, on the other hand, that one surprised me. He didn't have a great year but he's a league-minimum seventh defenceman. They're not really saving anything by waiving him unless they intend to carry just the minimum-sized roster. I also think he has a better chance of being claimed by waiving him this early as now a team can bring him in and give him a look for a week and a half before the season starts.

Commandant Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 You thought Rem Pitlick was going to be a winger for Crosby or Malkin and play in someone's top six? A guy who was like the 15th or 16th forward on our garbage team last year, and you thought he was going to be a key piece for the Pens, a bubble playoff team? I dont know what to say.

I don't think Pitlick would be a key piece on any time, but he can be a decent complementary player to support the other two (higher-skilled) forwards.

dlbalr Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Today's waiver list: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2023/09/waivers-9-30-23.html There are 4 Habs on there - Beaudin, Condotta, Keeper, and Stephens...I'll get to a write-up for HW on them when I can. Lassi Thomson is on waivers, that's one that intrigues me. After Ty Emberson got picked up by San Jose today, there's a decent chance Thomson will get scooped up as well.
