In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord ServerHe haven't been signed to an ELC yet and today is the last day for him to sign one. He's going to be a free agent tomorrow.Hello , why would we? I haven't been following him in the A but I liked him in the dub
tomorrow is May 31st, still can be signed today or tomorrow, hopefullyHe haven't been signed to an ELC yet and today is the last day for him to sign one. He's going to be a free agent tomorrow.
I just want May to end, so I forgot a day. So two days left.tomorrow is May 31st, still can be signed today or tomorrow, hopefully
I don't see us signing him. I think we will prefer signing Tobie Brisson.
I'm surprised, I thought Davidson did enough to get a contract, his lack of speed/skating are the only reasons I can think of as to not sign him as I liked that he worked hard and has some hands.
I thought Tourigny would get signed and say he replaces Galipeau's spot, but seeing how they never bothered to call him up and Galipeau was at his best that I've ever seen him in the 2nd half this year so I can see why they opted not to sign Tourigny since we surely are now getting overcrowded on the bluelines.
Didn't think Guindon would get signed, good speed and works hard but so small and just didn't seem to impress at all this year in the little i saw of him.
Nurmi I never paid much attention to but the little I did I wasn't impressed so never thought they would sign him. Finland has not been kind to the Habs since Saku.
I never thought Smilanic would get signed as there are some rumors about him in his Freshman year that led to him leaving Quinnipiac. But then again look at Danny Kristo who was suspended not once but twice for drinking including almost losing toes to frostbite. Wish him good luck though as he is fast as shit so if he can ever get things back on track.
Galipeau left for the DEL so his spot is open.
I was completely wrong on this one. No idea why they waited so longWhy wait if you're HuGo? I think the lack of news is a clear indication he's not getting an NHL contract. I'm sure they have already reviewed his performance, double checked with AHL staff and team scouts, and have made up their minds. Not much new information to be assessed at this point unless they're waiting on a medical report from his late season upper body injury.
There's little leverage for a prospect turning 22 in July. He would be lucky to negotiate anything other than the bare minimum ELC contract. There's no reason to wait until the last minute from MTL's side. I think his best chance now is to entertain an AHL contract or look elsewhere.

Still waiting on Guindon and Tourigny. I'd give both of them at least an AHL contract offer with Guindon starting in TR and Tourigny fighting to be AHL 6-9D.
Biondi and Nurmi I'd be surprised if they get something.
Guindon needs to re-enter the draft first, right ?
According to a Swiss sport news reporter, Andersson and EHC Biel (swiss league) have been talking contract. The reporter said he was confirmed by multiple sources the contract was already signed, but the EHC Biel GM denied it but did said Andersson was a person of interess to him.Andersson was solid player in Laval.
He'd be good to bring back. You want good veterans for top farm team.
So Tourigny becomes a free agent. His ECHL contract expires. I am surprised Guindon wasn't signed yet. As for Nurmi, that's it I would guess.
Guindon on an AHL contract to play in TR would be ok. No place in Laval for another rookie taking up a spot a veteran should hold if the team wants to compete.So Tourigny becomes a free agent. His ECHL contract expires. I am surprised Guindon wasn't signed yet. As for Nurmi, that's it I would guess.
Can't say I see much potential with Guindon anymore, even in the AHL. He has not developed at all in the past 3 years, he really hit a complete wall. He's ECHL/lesser euro league fodder at best at this point.That's it for Smilanic and Nurmi.
Maybe Guindon wants to try the NHL draft before looking at AHL contracts.
As for Tourigny, maybe he wants to look around for a better offer, but I hope we sign him to an AHL contract if we can.
3 less players on the summer prospects poll, Treb! (Maybe 4? I'm hearing different reports on Smilanic's rights).That's it for Smilanic and Nurmi.
Maybe Guindon wants to try the NHL draft before looking at AHL contracts.
As for Tourigny, maybe he wants to look around for a better offer, but I hope we sign him to an AHL contract if we can.
Saturday is the deadline to sign:
- Jared Davidson
- Cedric Guindon
- Miguel Tourigny
- Petteri Nurmi
I'm not sure why Nurmi is listed on CapFriendly as his rights expiring 2 years after being drafted. He was drafted out of Europe, which usually gives you 4 years to sign them. Is it maybe because he was drafted as an overager? I believe he was 20 when he was selected.
