(Philadelphia, PA) Unsurprisingly, Canadian forward Cédric Paquette was not claimed on waivers. The team therefore sold him to the Laval Rocket.
Posted at 3:38 p.m.
Paquette has only two assists in 24 games this season, and shows a differential of -6. The Gaspésien has not played since January 29, and has therefore been left out for the Habs’ last 15 games. In the meantime, the team has brought in 15 different forwards, but not Paquette.
The Canadiens found themselves with a surplus of players with the return to health of Joel Edmundson.
For Paquette, it will be a return to the American League, a circuit where he has not played since the 2014-2015 season.
Number 13 signed a one-year deal with the Canadiens last summer, worth $950,000.
