Confirmed with Link: Gustav Lindstrom signs 1 year contract

[Hacketts]

solid depth move, wasn't terrible.

 

[Tyson]

Yeah . Other teams wanted him but were too lazy to negociate a contract

Maybe other teams did but he chose Montreal. He is a good depth D

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Habs legend

 

[Treal]

Watch him get claimed

Anaheim right now

 

[Team_Spirit]

hockeydb is telling me that lindstrom was somehow +12 in 32 games for anaheim last year

Fowler -38
Minty -20
Lindstrom +12

What?

 

[1909]

A good partner for Engstrom, and a suitable #7 d-man when needed.

But I would had kept Kovacevic…. for that job

 

[WeThreeKings]

Definitely a consequence of the Reinbacher injury.

 

[Trabdy2]

Need some RD depth with Reinbacher gone for almost all season

 

[Apfel Struble]

Kovacevic would have had to be in the main roster. Considering he fetched a 4th round pick, he would have been claimed immediately by the Sharks had the Habs waived him

Kovacevic wasn’t passing the waiver

 

[Gustave]

RHD strikes again. When Cody Ceci has value, you know there’s no option out there.

If your kid shoots right, make him a D. He’ll have a career in the NHL.

 

[Habs13]

.. alright. Didn't see that coming.



When I said I wanted Lindstrom, I meant Cayden!

 

[Walksss]

One of the few pieces Hughes has lost for nothing he's back for vengeance. Righting past wrongs.

 

[David Suzuki]

A right has been wronged. Welcome home Gus.

 

[Redux91]

Lol, they really must not think much of Barron and Mailloux right now

Welcome back, he played ok for us!

 

[Tyson]

Lol, they really must not think much of Barron and Mailloux right now

Welcome back, he played ok for us!

This allows Mailloux to develop without rush. I bet Hughes regrets trading Kovasevic who was the perfect 7thD

 

[BLONG7]

Interesting..........

 

[Treb]

What does this have to do with Barron and Mailloux?

This is the response to Reinbacher's injury.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Feeling like Bill Murray here

 

[schwang26]

I honestly called something like this a few weeks ago. I’d rather have a 7th D who’s a vet than a young guy. The young guys need to play either here or in the ahl. There’s still no guarantee that Hutson won’t get sent down (unpopular opinion I know)

 

[morhilane]

Had Anahiem not grabbed him from waivers last year he would still be a Habs since June 30th or July 1st.

This is the response to Reinbacher's injury.

We'll see who gets first RD call up then.

Kovacevic would not have been happy not playing or being in the AHL.

 

[Tyson]

It has alot to do with Mailloux, the last thing management wants to do is call up Mailloux every time a D gets hurt. No one else is remotely ready and Lindstrom is the perfect #7.

 

[Milhouse40]

Unexpected but it's not like it's an important move, even if he get claim on waivers, doesn't really matter. If he clears, well....just a depth option.
