Value of: Sven Andrighetto (pick or young/AHL waiver exempt player)

[Mark Kandy]

We will be keeping Carr up. That's almost guaranteed. He's been playing with DD and Shaw pretty consistently and has had a great camp. It's not like Therrien to play a guy in one spot for all of camp and then do something else with him. His goal last night pretty much cemented his spot.

Also, Mark Barberio was placed on waivers this afternoon. This should open up enough room to keep Andrighetto up.

Forwards: Galchenyuk, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Plekanec, Radulov, Lehkonen, Shaw, Desharnais, Mitchell, Danault, Byron, Carr, Andrighetto, Flynn (14)

Defensemen: Weber, Markov, Beaulieu, Petry, Sergachev, Emelin, Pateryn, Redmond (8)

Goalies: Price, Montoya (2)

We still have to cut one player... Sergachev will likely stick for minimum 9 games... in that case, we waive Flynn?

Not sure how much good it does to waive Flynn to keep Sergachev for 9 games. Unless you're certain no one will take Flynn. You can say it wouldn't be a huge loss, but it's still a needless one.

Well in any case i personally wasn't expecting Andrighetto to be put on waivers.

Exactly this. Lehkonen has proven he's NHL ready and top 6 potential. McCarron had an overall good camp, much better than Ghetto and Carr but because Carr and McCarron dont have to go through waiver, they will both be sent down and Andrighetto will stay to start the season.

They're not going to trade an NHL ready player for an asset possibly worst than him just because they dont have space for him right now.

With Flynn injured, and Barberio on waivers, they gonna keep Andrighetto, and possibly McCarron as their #13 and #14 forwards. Condon gonna be dealt for a low pick or an obscure AHL d-man who doesn't have to go thru waivers.

By the way, Carr is way better and more useful than Andrighetto.

And his GM cries
'Cause if there's one thing that he don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
Andrighetto

 

[angry pirate]

Why get rid of Andrighetto for literally nothing??? There will be injuries. There will be slumps. Lehkonen has 0 games played.. Carr 23.. Andrighetto in the 40's I think. The three of them will compliment each other well all season.

This is an under rated post....well done!☺

We'd be dumb to just let Andrighetto walk. He would get claimed.

I'd let him sit as the 13th forward until we see more of Lehkonen/Carr. The three could swap in and out of the lineup until we find out the two most effective.

Flynn makes more sense as the 13th forward (more versatility) but I haven't given up on 'Ghetto. With a bunch of players almost NHL Ready (Lehkonen, Carr, Andrighetto, Hudon, McCarron) and then some a couple seasons away (Scherbak, Addison, Audette) we probably do want to make a trade or two. Obviously only 3 or 4 of these guys will actually stick and carve out good NHL careers, but none have top line potential, these are all middle 6 players.

 

[CupInSIX]

Those "good enough to be waived, not good enough to be on roster" kind of guy always ends up being traded for a conditional pick or the like.

I dont know if MB/MT will risk waiving a roster player just to keep Sergachev for 9 games. We know how big MT is on Flynn.

McCarron is still with the big club so thats 2 more to cut
3 if you count Condon

Yeah I know but in my mind it was obvious Condon and McCarron will be among the last cuts (even if I would keep McCarron over Carr and Flynn).

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I think MT is realizing they need size in their bottom-6 and McCarron has it. He also looks much better than he did when called up last year. But it's a tough decision when keeping him might cause you to lose asset through waivers.

I think they're really evaluating the situation thoroughly.

 

[TT1]

He played on our 1st line vs Toronto tonight, management wanted to put him in a position to succeed, he had an ok game. Dunno what they're gonna do with him tbh.

 

[mrinsane]

Ghetto+Condon for King and +

 

[Number 57]

He has lost his spot IMO. Trade him to a team that could use some depth in their top-9. Calgary seems like a good place for him, they lack depth as is and dont even have Gaudreau signed yet. Anaheim until Rakell is back. Los Angeles until Gaborik is back? Plenty of options.

They put him there because Pacioretty was out and didn't want to touch the other lines..

Ghetto+Condon for King and +

we could of brought back Versteeg, but did not because he is too small for our bottom six. No way are trading King for that junk

Yeah Calgary definitely needs a guy like Andriggetto.

 

[TT1]

they put him there so he could prove himself (and it was possibly a showcase, there were A LOT scouts at last nights game).. Andrighetto can play both wings but he's mainly a RW'er.

 

[jacks*]

Ghetto+Condon for King and +

Rather a draft pick for Ghetto King is pure garbage .

 

[HuGo Sham]

he'll get snatched on waivers...ghetto for a 3rd or 4th rounder

 

[1909]

If Habs trade Andrighetto and Condon, it will be for young players who can help at AHL level now, or who are still playing Junior hockey. They have almost no cap space available, and already have enough signed player on a one way only NHL contracts.

 

[Jabba11]

Bergevin will end up trading Ghetto for a Quebecois like Raphael Bussières.

Exactly. If not in a bigger package in a bigger trade, Bergevin will trade Andrighetto for a prospect one or two years younger.

Bergevin can also trade him because Habs have now some depth on wings. It's not by accident that Hudon has been tried on RW during camp, as Mccarron was last game.

It's not because he's not good, it's a matter of circumstances. Andrighetto will be traded soon.
