Graf will enjoy roasting his ass in the sun.
 

Listening to the team 1200 and they were talking about how he might have some suitors. He had a hat trick and a Gordie Howe Hat trick in a playoff game as a dman.

He is a LHD, but at 6'3 could be an interesting target for the Habs. Depending on who they plan to sign and whatnot, as the d group is crowded right now.
 
I keep a spreadsheet of all the players. This would be all the undrafted free agents who have played at least one game in the NHL this season (150 as of now by my count).

We don’t have the space for an other contact even though he would have been an interesting add
 
I recall some were suggesting the Habs invite Mesar's teammate Matthew Sop, saw where he's been invited to the Wild's camp.
 
don't know him but Arttu Tuomaala is off to a good start in Liiga, might be someone to keep an eye on perhaps.

On the same team as ex-Habs prospects Cam Hillis and Joni Ikonen who are also having similar starts (although 2-3 years older).

EDIT: Another on a hot start from the Liiga is 22 years old forward Viljami Nieminen - Stats, Contract, Salary & More.

Nieminen is already 2 points from his career best in 35 less games.

Ville Nieminen's son, which is why he was born in Denver and has US/Fin citizenship.

6'5 LHD who sits at 15 points in 8 games.

His career high is 27 points.

Weird path for this one. Like many, Covid screwed a big development year, but he was still selected #4 in the OHL priority draft. Was pretty meh in the GOJHL and then went to the QMJHL.

Always weary of big guys dominating as 20 years old. Not much online as far as scouting reports go.

100%.

Could be a late bloomer. Could just be that he's 20 and big and that's why it's finally coming together.


Could give this guy an AHL deal at the end, or for next year as I doubt there will be a big fight over him, unless he keeps this pace going and maybe a little more.

With Demidov incoming next season, I wonder if they will look to bring in some Russians. They could sign his brother, or his teammate from last year Vladislav Romanov who this season mostly plays on a line with Demidov's brother in the VHL.

Another is undrafted FA, Danil Aimurzin, he's having a big year turns 23 at the end of the season, his KHL contract is up at the end of the season.

I would pass personally, we enough of player under contact next year
I understand but Honestly I red the same kind of comments few years ago with Panarin.

Remember Montréal was in the mix at the end with Chicago.


Another Russsian., .undersize etc..

At the time nothing was sure cause the dude was not even drafted as well

Shabanov could surprise à lot of people and he will be a better llayer than Newhook from the get go

I don’t he would be better then Newhook personally

And Panarin is an exception, look at the Gusev/Shipachev/Plotnikov and cie who many thoughts they would come and have a major impact
