We Now Know Why Rem Pitlick Wasn't Claimed On Waivers
We recently announced that Rem Pitlick had not been claimed on waivers. This means that the Canadiens will keep his rights and that he will join the Laval Rocket very soon.
Many fans and players in the industry were anticipating that number 32 would most likely be claimed by an NHL team, as he had excellent statistics last year, accumulating 37 points in 66 games.
To everyone's surprise, he was ignored by the 31 other teams and TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie believes he knows why.
Indeed, the fact that the 25-year-old forward was signed for another season at $1.1 million probably weighed heavily in the decision of general managers to turn their noses up at him.
Furthermore, with the start of the season he had with the Habs, he didn't really promote his candidacy to other teams, as he didn't get a point in seven games.
