sabills Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I fear DLo will put a big check on Eichel at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marions Piazza Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Is Deslauries French Canadien? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson's Flow Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Heheheh. Yeah, weird. Maybe they wanted to get rid of Redmond and it was arranged a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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.

Huckleberry Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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.

Doohickie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither team is going to expect much of anything from these guys at the NHL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 So the 2pm press conference will be to introduce this Redmond character, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson's Flow Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share 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?
