sabills Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Canadiens MontréalVerified account @CanadiensMTLFollow More The Canadiens acquire Nicolas Deslauriers from BUF, in return for Zach Redmond. Deslauriers will report to the Laval Rocket. d4rk will be happy. Redman plays right D, he's split his time between the AHL and the NHL the last couple of years.

pastajoe Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 I fear DLo will put a big check on Eichel at some point. Quote
Taro T Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Good for Deslauriers. A bunch of low end Sabres have been good 4th liners for the Habs. Not sure about having a Hab AHL D-man, but depth (even questioable) is usually a good thing. Quote
Marions Piazza Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Depth signing for the defense, helps out Rochester. Need to keep Rochester stocked, try to build a winning culture there as well I fear DLo will put a big check on Eichel at some point. I highly doubt we see him on the ice for the Habs much Quote
Mustache of God Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Is Deslauries French Canadien? Quote
North Buffalo Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Hes been productive on ice had some injuries including a femoral artery laceration... scary, but recovered. Hard luck guy with some scoring talent from the back end. Quote

Doohicksie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 I fear DLo will put a big check on Eichel at some point. But Jack doesn't play in the AHL. Is Deslauries French Canadien? Born in Québec, Canada, per Wiki. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Woohoo! The addition of Nolan was writing on the wall for Des. Depth defense is more valuable imo than a guy like Des on the fourth line. Quote
MattPie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 How on earth did Montreal not just pick D-Lo up on waivers, like, two days ago? I must be missing something. Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Heheheh. Yeah, weird. Maybe they wanted to get rid of Redmond and it was arranged a while ago. Quote
Mustache of God Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Isn't Montreal hurting on defensive depth? They traded their blue chip prospect for Drouin, Emelin was drafted by Vegas, Markov went to the KHL, Baloo is here. Did they bring anyone in? I don't get this move from their perspective (other than knowing they love their hometown french-speakers) but I like it from our perspective. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 How on earth did Montreal not just pick D-Lo up on waivers, like, two days ago? I must be missing something. Guess they wanted a contract out before moving one back in. Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 I think we're talking about a couple of very marginal NHLers here. It's just a little horse trading. Quote

Neither team is going to expect much of anything from these guys at the NHL level. Quote
inkman Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 I fear DLo will put a big check on Eichel at some point. Well he'll get jumped by Evander who does seems to instill fear in a few would be pugilists Quote
dudacek Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 I suspect Montreal needed/wanted to shed a contract before acquiring DLo. I wonder if he requested a trade. I also wonder if the acquisition of another defenceman means the inevitable trade of Gorges is pending. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 I fear DLo will put a big check on Eichel at some point. How will he catch him? Quote

Mustache of God Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 So the 2pm press conference will be to introduce this Redmond character, correct? Quote
Samson's Flow Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 So the 2pm press conference will be to introduce this Redmond character, correct? We have signed Jack Eichel to a new contract and have traded for Zach Redmond. We have made Zach available for any questions you may have - Zach? Quote
