Waivers: It's confirmed for Jakob Pelletier, and the Montreal Canadiens are named by Stéphane Leroux
A big piece of news has just been confirmed in the NHL, as Jakob Pelletier has indeed been placed on waivers by the Calgary Flames.
As we reported to you a few days ago, this was a major rumor circulating in the NHL, and it has now been confirmed by multiple sources.
Jakob Pelletier placed on waivers by the Calgary Flames
Quickly, the Montreal Canadiens were identified as a potential destination for the Quebec-born forward.
«The obvious candidate to pick up the 2019 first-rounder is Montreal, but they already have a very similar player in Alex Barré-Boulet. I'd keep an eye on Columbus.»
-Mike Gould This could allow a player like Joshua Roy to continue refining his game with the Laval Rocket, for example.
The Calgary Flames will place Quebec-born forward Jakob Pelletier on waivers.
I like to think that the Canadiens could have some interest, if not a definite interest.
A former first-round pick with a lot of character and still young.
-Stephane Leroux
This will be a really interesting case to follow over the next few hours in the NHL, but particularly for the Montreal Canadiens.
Let's remember that Kent Hughes is among the 5 teams with the highest priority to claim players on waivers.
And you, would you claim Jakob Pelletier?
Pelletier, who dominated the AHL with 111 points in 119 games, has 10 points in 37 career NHL games.
He certainly still has the potential to break through and become a solid top-6 forward in the NHL. At 23 years old, the Quebec-born forward was the Flames' 26th overall pick in 2019 (1st round), and he is an interesting potential acquisition for the Habs.
To be continued.
Personally, I would absolutely give him a chance if I were in general manager Kent Hughes' position.
