Have to ask why? This gives Habs 16-forwards with Lekhonen & Armia. Don’t get his deal - does this mean Lekhonen or Armia:
A) will not be signed? Highly unlikely - loss of free asset
B) packaged in a deal for a top-6?
Domi is pretty amped about it.
Assuming Weise & Peca are sent to AHL and Poehling & Suzuki start there as well:
Drouin - Domi - Lekhonen
Tatar - Danault- Gallagher
Byron - KK - Armia
Weal - NT - Cousins
Yeah....
There’s zero chance that RP starts in the minors.
I think there is a good chance
Why RP in the minors ? NT ahead of him ....makes no sense
He is ready to go , and built like a tank
I understand having a good bottom 6 , but still
Nick , isn't ready and needs to fill out and work on his skating
A year in Laval is good for him
