Even though there is absolutely no rush or roster need.
2021-22 Training Camp
- Thread starter Habsy
- Start date

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
With this team, a player's NHL readiness is determined arbitrarily based on when a warm body is needed to fill a roster spot with the big club.

I don’t think so, but I suspect they’re going to let Guhle & Norlinder gain as much experience with the pros as they can in training camp before shipping them back to juniors & SHL respectively... and I think it’s the right approach unless they clearly show they’re way out of their element
Team cant fuk up this next wave of D
They are too vital as our team D is old , slow , and limited skill
Both these 2 plus Harris , Struble , and Logan M need proper development
2 at least have to be legit top 4 and some wont make it
Harris will go UFA next summer, I predict. Might as well wait two more months and pick his team.

Guhle is going to be C for Team Canada at WJC, hopefully Norlinder might come to the realization a season of AHL experience might do him some good
I thought he gave the Habs a thumbs up to finish the NCAA season as captain and sign with us

He did say that he fully intend on signing with us. He seems like a straight kid but an agent can easily derail all that.

Harris can pick his team if he waits another 2 months. He’d be an idiot not to at that point.

Anders Lee was able to as well but chose to stick with Isles, very few college players actually bail, and the ones that do, the org knows well beforehand they’ve got no intention in signing with them.
For example Preds knew Vesey had no intention of signing for a couple of years, Fox had let Cgy know he wanted to play in NY, and Hyman had let Fla know he wanted to play in Canada
Not saying it’s 100% guaranteed Harris doesn’t pursue UFA route, but if a player publicly hints he intends to sign with his drafted team (as Harris did this summer)... probability would suggest he’s likely to sign
He would of been traded by now if indication was he had no interest to stay

Was hoping Habs would sign him, solid low risk move, now Norlinder & Guhle can develop in peace back on their own turf

One advantage we have is that we can sign him right away and burn one year of his entry level contract, which is not insignificant.
Is his ELC , 2 or 3 years

He's 21, and would be until July, so that would 3 years.
Or i guess he can wait until after his birthday in July and sign for 2 years?? I'm not entirely sure if the birthday is the cut off or is it the age at a certain date.
Is Jesse Yo vaccinated to earn a spot , perfect timing
