amp73 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 When Bouillion is back in December something has to give They'll have two D men sitting out and will be really close, if not over, the cap It should be interesting Can Streit be sent to Hamilton without clearing waivers ?

Kindred Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Can Streit be sent to Hamilton without clearing waivers ? I believe he has a one way contract, he can't be sent down. I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cheerio279 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Don't we have too many defencemen right now? I mean when Bouillon comes back, we'll have 8 D, 8 starting defencemen. Even if Streit can be sent down (I hope he can stay), someone's gotta sit. And at this point, I don't know who it'll be cuz I can't see Bouillon not playing after his performance last season.

koh19 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I'd put markov, souray, komi, dandenault, ninimaa in a package for ribeiro back so that way streit could play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shanahan1024 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Streit should be in the lineup vs phily, id be shocked if he isnt. Ninimaa has been by far our worst D-Man, and cant play PP worth a damn, where Streit excels. Get Ninimaa alot more practice in our system, and start Streit Wednesday and Saturday to see how he fares.

I agree that Ninimaa hasn't really been up to par & I'm sure Streit would be a lot more solid than Jannee. Anywho, the decision isn't really up to us so all we can do is wait I guess...

Guest Nutrasweetdaddy Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I believe he has a one way contract, he can't be sent down. I could be wrong No, you're absolutely correct. It stinks the way things are playing out. I really expected him to show dramatic improvement this season. Sadly that won't happen when he only gets to play a few games in between multiple scratches. And even when he plays, he probably won't get many minutes. I expect Streit to end up being like Vokoun (yes I know he's a goalie), in the respect that he doesn't fit in our plans, gets traded, and goes on to be a key guy for another team.

franck5890 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 One thing I thought about today was this... Players that coaches want to get good, long looks at will get plenty of time in the preseason, and be played at optimal times. A perfect example of this was Guillaume Latendresse. He was played everywhere at anytime; paired with centermen like Ribeiro, Bonk, even shifting with Kovalev at times if I remember. In essense, the same can be said for Streit. He was played where the coaches wanted to see him show his talent. He showed his talent, but in the same way as Gui, what is shown in the preseason and the role played there often will not be the same as in the regular season.

scotrbrtsn Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 It's obvious gainey will make a trade in the mid season with a Dman involved, so I wouldn't get too worried about the 8dmen situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flames4eva Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 yes I wasThat's a good thing... I do think it would be nice to see Streit paired with Komisarek rather than Markov (would rather Rivet and Souray/Niinimaa with Dandenault)bw6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Streit deserves more ice time. He is an excellent PP D man. If he doesn't get ice time, he should be traded to another team. Maybe the Habs are not the right team for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp73 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Give it time, when Boullion returns then Montreal will have 8 D men. And when Cote is healthy nine I would guess that something has to give because they'll have 3 guys sitting every night and not to mention they'll be extremely close if not over the cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 3 guys constantly sitting out can be a cancer to the locker room. I can only see a trade coming where probably two D-Men are involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindros_jr Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Exactly. And 3 guys constantly sitting out can be a cancer to the locker room. I can only see a trade coming where probably two D-Men are involved. I dont think Cote is going to even matter. They can just assign him to Hamilton and never bring him up bc if Im right and they decide to bring him up they wont be able to drop him again unless he clears waivers and he def. wont. It will be Hainsey all over again. So I think Cote is out of the picture unless injuries and trades occur...With that being said I think Carbo needs to get Streit in the lineup and sit Janne and see what happens bc Janne is coughin the puck up left and right so why not give Streit the chance. I mean it cant get any worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Niinimaa has been hired because Carbonneau doesn't really believe in Streit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-pirate Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I think Streit would have deserved to play one of the two games. He wants to improve and he can do it ! But we have to give him a chance to play... And if Carbo doesn't really believe in Streit, like wes said, well...really bad 'cause i'm pretty sure Streit can be a good player ! If we let him play, of course ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KOIVU#11 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 My verdict is still out on this guy, he's not bad on the pp but he just makes such stupid plays sometimes.. but I guess he'll come back a little more experienced this year and hopefully earn himself a spot.

Guest Miltie01 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I believe he has a one way contract, he can't be sent down. I could be wrong He can be sent down as a matter of fact. The one wat contract just means he will be paid the same salary he gets in the NHL. A two way contract is where he wold get paid a lesser amount if sent down.

Guest habinto Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would love for Streit to get a chance since he struck a nerve in me. BUT given the Habs D he should not. This is not about what is right for the player but what is right for the team. Why would you sit a better player to let a worse player play - the Habs are in a fight to make the playoffs and streit is oldish. But it's more complicated than that since Streit could (or not) one day be better than our present top 6 D if the coach would let him play. I think that Carbo and Gainey only see Streit as spare parts and as sad as that is for Streit it is up to him to prove them wrong when a chance does come up. I agree that when Cube returns there will be a numbers problem and a trade will need to be made. Who do you trade? .Not any of our top 7 D since our defense is the weakest part of our team. Cote is young and can sit; that leaves Streit. As for Cote, I do not know what to make of that player yet. He may never be more than spare parts or not.
