    They had interest in him when we were trying to trade Toffoli/Lehkonen, hard to see the fit working now with all the depth players we have though.

  3. TheIdentifySpell

    Just below ppg in the AHL, it might be worth a shot. I don’t know what his usage was like in Calgary but if he was given a bottom six role it would make sense that he wasn’t lighting it up as a 5’9 170lb forward.

    Another 2019 first round pick would be crazy

  5. Ah the french guy on waivers who wouldnt justify a tweet if he wasnt french tweet. Habs hockey is back baby!

  6. Throaway44009988

    Meh

    When a team waives a player, typically its for good reason. Im not sure what he provides the team that we dont already have, tweener player

  7. SantaClaws514

    Est-ce que le fait qu’il soit Québécois lui donne des super pouvoirs? Je comprends pas.

  8. Longshanks123

    Not sure where he would fit in our lineup. And I can’t say that I think we need another small forward.

    Quick read of the Flames sub tells me he was looking like a twy way middle six forward that got his development interrupted by 2 injuries last season.

    Fuck it dude put in a claim Kent worst case scenario we try to send him down for AHL help and someone else claims him

  10. DangerDavez

    Could be a good addition to Laval but I don’t see a spot for him on the big club.

  11. patsbury

    Faudra le garder dans la NHL.. on tasse qui?

    Non merci, on a déjà Barré-Boulet pour ce genre de situation

  12. john4845

    He is just wayyy small. Might be ok for the regular season, but highly doubt would do good in the playoffs

    Also, his name is too funny.

  13. skinniks

    The last thing we need is another <= 5’10” top 9 forward.

  14. FlowShredder

    if he wasn’t quebecois, this tweet wouldn’t exist

  15. FlashyChapter

    If he wasn’t québécois… would we still be talking about him right now? I think the answer is actually yes. The potential is there. With the Laine injury, there’s a spot.

  16. Sportsguy1223

    Meh I’d rather have Henieman and Kapanen make it. Unless they’re gonna send down one of the big contract vets I wouldn’t do it

  17. Shenji06

    I would rather give lavoie from edm who is also on waivers a chance over pelletier we need more bite with our bottom 6.

  18. Ark.

    Small winger like this are worthless when they have no intangibles and can’t produce

  19. Si Calgary le laisse partir…Calgary!!!! Pas comme si leur club est pacté. Qu’est-ce qui lui fait defaut?

  20. I think we have enough 5’9 french last name players

  21. crownpr1nce

    We already have some choices to make in the bottom 6 with Kappanen and Barre-Boulet performing above expectations. I can’t see a place for him in the NHL here, at least not in any regular capacity. Unfortunately.

  22. Pitiful_Stock_4329

    He’s turning 24 in march, I don’t think he would have that much untapped potential

  23. hockey3331

    The people complaining about him having a french name are annoying. Its not like the team is filled with bad french canadians taking the spots of good players. In fact, the few feench canadians we have are performing fine for their roles.

     Montembeault has surprised many. Savard is on his way out but still serviceable. Roy is defying the expectations from a 5th rounder. 

    Pelletier has been a quality prospect for a while dokng really well in the AHL. Im a little concerned that he cannot find a spot on the squad in Calgary STILL. But in terms of waiver wires, its as good a gamble as another.
