Yesterday, the Habs placed William Trudeau in the waivers. We wondered if he’d be claimed by another national league team, even though the chances were slim… and we got the answer to our question today.
On Thursday, the Montreal Canadiens placed defenseman William Trudeau on waivers, making him available to the other 31 teams in the NHL. The Canadiens put Trudeau on the wire for the purpose of sending him down to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Laval Rocket.
William Trudeau is one of the Montreal Canadiens’ intriguing prospects. Aged 22, he has just completed his 3rd season with the Laval Rocket and is progressing well.
There's more to hockey than scoring goals and stopping pucks. For some players, putting up points came second to their main task: angering their opponents.
The Montreal Canadiens announced Thursday they signed defenseman William Trudeau to a one-year, two-way contract. According to PuckPedia, the contract will pay Trudeau, who was a restricted free agent, $775,000 at the NHL level and $90,000 in the minors, with a guaranteed salary of $100,000.
The Montreal Canadiens are at a crucial point in their rebuild, and they could learn from the mistakes of their rivals on what to avoid over the next year.
Last night, everyone was watching David Reinbacher’s debut with the Laval Rocket, as the latter played a very important game against the Belleville Senators.
Over the past few days, David Reinbacher has arrived in Quebec. He began training with the Laval Rocket, and it quickly became clear (via Georges Laraque) that he would make his debut in Friday’s game.
