Confirmed with Link: Colin White claimed off waivers from the Penguins

[vokiel]

Laval needs help and the habs need a center?

That's very arguable...

 

[Captain Mountain]

Well I'm weighing 2 tanking strategies:

1. Do nothing
2. Claim Colin White

I have to think strategy 1 is better for tanking...

Yeah, but if Gignac clears then Montreal's still got a bad 4th line C, but Laval has a better shot at making the playoffs. And with Gignac's contract, he probably clears.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Reclamation Project - hope he works out!

 

[overlords]

Agreed, former Hughes player and we need some depth centers. Kinda like when we picked up

Honestly at this point if Kent isn't getting himself some sort of kickback from his ex employer I think he's doing it wrong.

Chris Tierney 2.0

A plug veteran to fill out the roster on the 4th line for the last 20 or so games, yet this thread will probably be 48 pages long asking why we claimed him.

 

[Wats]

Kinda gross, but I guess the tank lives on. Hopefully Laval gets a boost.

46 more pages to go.

Can't wait to see this jobber in action.

 

[Sterling Archer]

The new tank commander

 

[Whitesnake]

No idea why we did that. Unless it's a guess that Gignac won't be picked up and it's some help to Laval. The only sane reason.

 

[McGees]

This team is gonna be all Hughes clients and 2019 draft picks in no time.

 

[Supersonic]

Expect the unexpected

 

[gusfring]

The situation last year at the time of Tolvanen's waiving is not the same situation as now.

Sure is. We had limited goal scorers then, like we do now.

 

[Tim Wallach]

Are they still charging full price to watch this roster?

 

[StCaufield]

Good bye Jake 'can't play D' Evans

He’s actually a good defensive forward lol

 

[JoelWarlord]

No idea why we did that.

Because they want Gignac back in the AHL to help Laval and we only have 3 other Cs on the NHL roster. Seems pretty straightforward.

We already got a post implying this means Jake Evans is being traded. That's my favourite HFHabs mannerism, any minor depth move is immediately spun into this grand machination that will create multiple trades.

The best one was when we signed Demchenko from the KHL a couple years ago and instantly people were coming up with Allen, Price, Primeau, Lindgren trades etc. as if you can't just sign a depth goalie to be a depth goalie without it being part of some huge scheme involving every other goalie in the system lmao

 

[Andy]

Makes sense. Gignac is not an nhl player. He has speed, and that's it. Doesn't really know what to do with the puck.

The habs need some bodies to finish out the year. Can't dump all the centre assignmnets on Nick and Evans

 

[le_sean]

Makes sense to send Gignac back down to bolster Laval. He’s speedy but doesn’t offer anything else at the NHL level.

SEASON SAVED

 

[Fatbiggie]

Can we waive Pearson also ?

 

[SlafySZN]

That's very arguable...

Not really. Gignac was rocket’s best player this season. They need him back.

 

[Runner77]

Hey Pee Air, tell us about what Parrish he grew up in and who his grandfather played for.

The only forum that doesn't want people to write in it. No matter how you see it....every news is a possible debate. Whether it's the player we acquire. Or the player we let go. Or the number of contracts we have or don't etc.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Sure is. We had limited goal scorers then, like we do now.

We already had Caufield, Slafkovsky, Anderson, Gallagher, Hoffman, Dadonov, Drouin, Armia and Monahan playing on the wing when Tolvanen was waived. If anyone is to blame for us not claiming Tolvanen it is Bergevin for having so many shitty wingers signed.
