Lewlowned Posted Monday at 06:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:19 PM Unfortunately he didn't show much of anything to make him worth signing. I know there are dissenting opinions on PDG, but I really don't see Blais adding any value over PDG as the extra forward. Sure he hits but that's not enough. PDG penalty kills and has honestly looked solid in the preseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted Monday at 06:25 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:25 PM don't want any player who expects to coast his way to a roster spot based on past accolades. excellent cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted Monday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:37 PM No surprises here. Too many guys stepped up internally vs an average showing from Blais. For Blais, it’s not too bad he was cut, but too bad he couldn’t bring what we’ve seen from him at his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Posted Monday at 06:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:59 PM Yea he didn't show enough. PTO is such a crap shoot, plus we don't have cap space. What happens to the AHL portion of the contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete13 Posted Monday at 07:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:20 PM Blais has played a heavy game throughout his career. At this point he’s probably too banged up to play like a 21 year anymore. Happy trails Sammy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't junior contracts slide so it wouldn't have anything to do with that. Dude just doesn't have it and others are higher up as options for spots. He can be a vet in abby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reznor Posted Monday at 09:21 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:21 PM Felt it would be a good story for him to make the team, but the writing is on the wall. He's essentially done. He MAY be able to be signed as a plug on a lesser team at league minimum, but he'd be lucky to even get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL97OneTimer Posted Tuesday at 12:38 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:38 AM Really happy they cut him. Sorry for him but he would have cost them defensively from what I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
