Major: A Habs player has been targeted for NHL waivers
As the Montreal Canadiens' training camp is just a few weeks away, many experts are speculating on the possible lineup that will be assembled by Kent Hughes and Martin St-Louis.
According to journalist Arpon Basu, a decision already seems likely.
A player has already been targeted for NHL waivers, and it's Rem Pitlick.
Here's an interesting passage from Basu's recent article:
"I take it for granted that unless there are several major injuries in training camp, Rem Pitlick will be placed on NHL waivers."
- The Athletic
So, don't be surprised if this is confirmed in the coming weeks for Pitlick.
Pitlick, 26 years old, recorded:
-22 points in 18 games with the Laval Rocket last season
-15 points in 46 games with the Montreal Canadiens last season
-26 points in 46 games with the Montreal Canadiens in 2022
Would you be disappointed to lose him for nothing?
He is signed until 2024 and earns $1.1 million per season.
