I'm surprised so many UFA prospects agreed to join the Habs camp...wouldn't it be more logical for them to go to a camp that's small and less competition for contracts?
Something tells me Habs hinted at there being a good likelihood that there'll be a lot of players being signed.

With our luck, both will end up concussed.I wanna see McCarron try to fight Tinordi.
Clash of the Titans. COME ON!! :applaud:
I would say there's less competition here. We only have half a roster for Hamilton and are under the 50 contract limit. Only 42(43 if you count Andrighetto, 44 with Thrower if not sent back) after we sign our guys and we have a few more sliding contracts. We'll sign 2-3 UFAs and that will leave another 3-4 contracts for prospects if we want to go right to the 50 limit since there's a good chance Quailer/Nattinen/Delmas/Lefebvre/Bouillon/Gionta/Blunden aren't back next year. Even guys who don't get ELCs could get contracts with Hamilton because of how weak the roster is.
Leblanc-Bournival-Thomas
Quailer-Nattinen-Holland
Lefebvre-Blunden-Andrighetto
??-??-??
Beaulieu-Dietz
Tinordi-Pateryn
Thrower???-Ellis
Tokarkski
Condon
Mayer
How hard is it to crack the lineup? Especially if Beaulieu/Tinordi/Leblanc get called up.
Geez, I totally forgot that Michael Cichy is still in our prospect system.
Great read by Mac Bennett on his 1st day in Montreal! Great kid or so it seems! 195lbs the kid is....great improvement!

Big Mac...
LOL.
Just realized we drafted Jason Segal or Marshall from How I Met Your Mother.
Was pretty curious about both #Habs Crisp & Lehkonen. Disappointed to hear injuries will keep them off-ice at Dev Camp, per @JFChaumont. #CH
J-F Chaumont @JFChaumont 44s
#Habs: Artturi Lehkonen et Connor Crisp ne patineront pas au camp de développement.
what type of injuries? or other reason?
I'm pretty excited about Lehkonen, and was looking forward to reading about his play at camp.
Crisp, not so much.
