Canadiens Place Samuel Blais on Waivers
The Montreal Canadiens have placed forward Samuel Blais on waivers as of Tuesday. This decision allows all 31 other NHL teams a 24-hour window to claim him. If he is not claimed, the Canadiens can assign him to their AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket.
Samuel Blais’ Season Performance
In 13 games with the Canadiens, Blais has recorded a total of 5 points, which includes 2 goals and 3 assists. His season has been characterized by considerable movement due to his previous waiver status.
Timeline of Blais’ Waiver Status
- Blais was initially placed on waivers after the training camp.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs claimed him shortly after.
- On November 27, the Canadiens reclaimed Blais from the Leafs.
Looking Ahead
By placing Blais on waivers, the Canadiens prepare for the upcoming moratorium on personnel movements. This freeze will last from February 4 to February 22.
Fans are watching closely to see if another team claims Blais during this period. If not, he will likely join the Laval Rocket to continue his development in the AHL.
