Waived: Sven Andrighetto (cleared)

[Agalloch]

Don't see him being claimed, but he could be because of his 1 year contract.

Over-rated prospect by Montreal fans.

 

[Bologna 1]

Buffalo?

 

[VinceHabs]

I'm confused

Why would they do this? Unless Petry is returning and Mitchell isn't injured. Why risk him being claimed when he is our only other top 9 option (unless they rather have hudon or McCarron). Especially with Shaw potentially suspended... Hope he clears

 

[Canada4Gold]

Buffalo maybe? With their injuries he might be useful short term

Petry is coming back on saturday. Habs need to reduce their roster to 23 players and Andrighetto needs to play, not being the 13th forward (that's Flynn's job).

I'll be shocked if he's not claimed.

I will be shocked if he does

Good player, Lehkonen/Carr just had better camps and are really playing well. Sucks, I can see him get claimed 100% but maybe not if teams don't have the room. Rather keep him

 

[IAmBobo]

I thought he was the next best thing from what I heard from habs fans.

what happened?

I understand, but I'd still rather send down Sergachev and keep Andrighetto. Any top 9 injury (or suspension) and we have to put McCarron or Hudon (which they don't seem to like that much) or more likely Flynn or Byron. I just don't see the point in giving him to another team for free. He is probably a good stop gap option for a team like buffalo who have just suffered 2 top 6 injuries. I know he needs to play to develop further, but if that means he develops further on another squad, I'd rather him not play here.

You mean from a couple of habs fans. While the vast majority didnt think he was the next big thing. Why focus on those couple?

 

[Jigger77]

Meh.

For his sake I hope he gets claimed and gets a kick at the can elsewhere.

Hopefully he clears though they could use him in St-Johns.

 

[Freaky Styley]

With Roy gone things might have changed, but there have been rumours about the Avs being interested in him for a while. They have some injuries up front to start the season as well so wouldn't be surprised if he ends up there.

Just last season there was a JVR thread to Montreal and habs fans in there had him as off the table in any deal for JVR...

 

[Mark Kandy]

Well, I'm pissed.

 

[KingTux]

Won't miss him

 

[llamateizer]

I will be shocked if he does

Someone will be shocked

This quote is simply hilarious coming from a Toronto guy!

And his mama cried

Now I hope he makes the NHL just so they can make that his goal song.

 

[Mr Misty]

And his mama cried

Nice

 

[HOPE]

Said it wont from the start from an habs perspective, never seen anything in him. Just an north south undersizef winger with average ability, can fill a whole in a ypp 6 as a complimentary guy who will hardwork down the board but hes not game changer, habs are filled with guy like him. I can see him do 30-35pts as a career peak, will get claimed.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Very bad decision IMO. They should have waived Flynn instead.
