Greg Pateryn - First Call-up from Dogs?

[giovannicanella]

proabably st denis. but i'm anxious to see beaulieu and tinordi ready. surely not alone.

I would love it for Tinordi to be ready now and usurp Kaberle. We have lots of puck moving defencemen, I feel a good sized D man with defense first mentality would be a very welcomed addition to our D corps...

[Ceux de Montreal]

St-Denis is our 7th best defenceman. He should be ahead of Kaberle and Weber in the depth chart. He's good for the pro.

I can't tell for Pateryn as I dont know him at all.

Pateryn would bring one thing to the Montreal defense that we sorely lack and that is size. If the stats are correct, Kaberle is our second biggest defenseman but doesn't play a physical game. Depending on how the season unfolds, I can see Pateryn being called up.

I can definitely see a handful of players from Hamilton practicing and travelling with the Habs once their season is over.

Ottawa is icing a D that has Andre freaking Benoit in their top 4, I wouldn't bet against them putting together a Hamilton alumni pairing if they really needed to

hahaaha i just looked at their alumni and Patrick Traverse is there aswell is Brad Norton

Ive been impressed with Pateryn at the begin of the season with the Dogs.. wouldnt surprise me if he gets a callup before Tinordi..

Bingo.
I too like and prefer Greg over Tinordi this year. I guess we would have to get an injury first. Not a St Denis fan.
