Let him go, he's a nothing player.

I always rooted for Jesse, but just hasn't put it together.
He'll end up in Europe soon rather than later.

I think he will catch on somewhere. He's got some nice tools.

I bet he signs with Pens. They have no prospect pool and they would try anyone below 25 just because of their terrible age structure.
Kent should try to trade him even for a late round pick, to a team willing to qualify him.

Has to be a contract limit issue. What's the harm with signing him and then sending him to the AHL. Gets claimed or not but that's better than than letting him walk. Laval can use him right?

Same here. Habs probably realized that as well but we have a cluttered pool that's filtering into Laval and have to manage the 50 contract limit. This has to be about the contract limit.
Bet you he becomes a solid bottom 6F for someone. Probably needs one full NHL season and he never had it yet. Also dealing with lots of line-up changes and no real stable spot.
The other layer I was pondering about is he might have a hard time comprehending our development coach and what they wanted him to focus/improve on.

Demidov is a HAB
I would have qualified and given him one last year here, but he didn't do anything with his chance last year so I'm not gonna fret it.

Best for both Ylonen and the Habs.
Ylonen gets a shot somewhere else, if not he'll go to Europe. On the Habs he's not good enough for our top 9, and he's useless playing on the 4th line. Even in Laval I'd rather give his minutes to Farrell, Mesar, Heineman etc.

Bunch of new kids on the block, you can’t fire the vets to make room.
Always wondered why he has not put up numbers; great skating, hands, shot, goes to the boards…

My guess is that he had nothing elite. One guy is the goon, another the scorer, another the Defensive mission guy, the other the shot blocker, the faceoff center.. etc. Ylonen is kind of ok at everything, but doesnt stick out for anything. That makes him a kind of jack of all trades, only we have too many of those guys already, and they are better and can even play C in some cases (RHP comes to mind)
I was hoping Ylonen was going to be a lekhonen type, but he is more of a big meh.

I like Ylonen when he has the puck on his stick but he never does. I think he can still carve a nhl career or else he will just buzz in europe
Yeah , he has good skills , if he had a bit of Lekhonens skillset to actually recover pucks he would be a much better player , he doesn't put himself in good positions to recover pucks or play well enough away from the puck to get open enough to be an option for teammates out there.

He had the same inconsistency and lack of drive in Laval.
Think Pacioretty in his captaincy years but with fewer goals.
