he has to be viewed as a “forward for Laval”, not Gurianov 2.0

He would be the heaviest forward on Laval’s team and like you said post-draft he got good comments about his board play and defensive efforts + good shot. Average IQ & puck skills, powerful stride but not a quick skater.

Laval could really use that kind of player (paired with Kidney for example).
Agreed

This is the second time Hughes makes an NHL trade and a minor league trade with the same team.

He traded Hillis to CHI for Beaudin (both on ELCs) last year. And right after, he made an AHL deal with CHI to acquire Riley McKay.

This time he makes an NHL deal with BUF for Cederqvist and immediately made a minor league deal with BUF for Jandric.

I really wish people would think before making dumb comments about an acquisition. Laval is missing 3 forwards for weeks. It’s an AHL move because they need bodies. Think, people !
The “plan the parade” and Bargainbin comments are really tiresome.

Don’t understand the Laouaan trade though, a local guy for an American in Three Rivers.

Good for Cerqvidst (sp?), need some forward depth

Cederqvist should also add some much needed size for Laval at the forward position. Elite Prospects lists him at 6'3" and 203 lbs.

They dont have many forwards who are both 6' or more and 200 lbs or more.

They have Condotta, Yaremko, McKay, Novak (who they just called up from 3R). There is also Légaré, but he's out for a while.

So Cederqvist should add some size. Don't know enough about him to know if he plays like a big man, but the size is there.

Wow, how could you say something like that about players like Andreas Dackell, Niklas Sundstrom and Douglas Murray?

Yeah our track record with Swedes is putrid.....

Mats Naslund was pretty much the only good one we ever had.

Maybe he asked for trade to have a chance to play in the AHL instead of the ECHL? He seems to be joining the Amerks.
