Chuck has every right in the world to tell Dov that no, he cannot sign a contract with any other team. In order to sign a PTO or a 2-way, Chuck would have to release him from his current contract. At this point in the season, with our situation the way it is, it'd be a tough decision because he even said himself he is not going to stand in the way of a player getting a chance to move up. But there is a certain point at which you have to say "no, I can't afford to give him up."
http://www.canadiens.com/eng/news/redirect.cfm?sectionID=habsNewsDetails.cfm&newsItemID=5693 This article on Montreal's site makes me think the only way we see Cedrick again is a:Montreal is eliminated from the playoffs and can return Hamilton's goalie, b: Montreal goes out and gets another veteran goalie or c: Hamilton is eliminated and we then get Cedrick back. Right now I plan on seeing a lot of Dov and Ben for the rest of the year. Nothing personal,but I will be frustrated if John Smith is needed again.But such is life in the ECHL,the better our players do at Hamilton,the more faith Montreal will have with us.
