2021-22 Training Camp

[GGpX]

Temporary NHL backup, tells me Price won't be ready to start the year.

Depth chart is probably,

Price
Allen

Montembeault
Primeau

Poulin
McNiven

Russian goalie Nevermind

Not sure what the point of this is, to be honest.

The point of what?

 

[GGpX]

Cale Fleury's on waivers.

With a possible spot open on the right side...

 

[Habsy]

Seattle waived him to send him down? Bergevin should claim him just because.

 

[CH1]

Juulsen on waivers also.

JF Houle also coached Montembeault in the Q

 

[Sal_Butera]

Best period for Poehling so far, very solid.

Wideman with another good period - looks to have a roster spot locked up

This tactic always works out so well for the Habs.

 

[AH$$$]

So we have a goalie named Mutombo ?

But Dikembe is not his first name...

Drouin - Dvorak - Anderson
Armia - Evans - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Perreault - Belzile
Harvey-Pinard - Poehling - Ylonen

Romanov - Petry
Chiarot - Wideman

[AH$$$]

Who is still injured?

Eddy, Price, Norlinder, Niku, Hoffman, Paquette?

 

[GGpX]

As speculated, the Habs signed Arber Xhekaj to an ELC. He's been cut and is going to play in the OHL this season.

Starting to look like a team

A very mediocre one. Need Edmunson, Hoffman and Price back ASAP.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

A very mediocre one. Need Edmunson, Hoffman and Price back ASAP.

Yeah, no team in which Alex Belzile is an everyday player is a good team.

 

[lecoqsportif]

They’re gonna screw up Guhle’s development, aren’t they?

 

[Habsy]

A very mediocre one. Need Edmunson, Hoffman and Price back ASAP.

“Starting”

 

[Sal_Butera]

They’re gonna screw up Guhle’s development, aren’t they?

No - recall Sergachev also got a 4-game post training camp trial before being shipped back to junior, which is the same path Guhle is likely going to follow. 9-games or less buying time for Edmundson’s recovery

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

They’re gonna screw up Guhle’s development, aren’t they?

Only if you think that the point of the exercise is to develop players.

The point of the Habs under Bergevin is to be just good enough to keep the revenues flowing in. That's it. It isn't about trying to build a championship caliber team, it's about maintaining a mediocre team. If playing Guhle helps to keep them in the sweet spot of 7th-9th place then he's going to play. His development is of no importance to his employers. He is a hired hand.
