KyoNami Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=778829 Professional tryout for Tomas Fleischmann Saturday, 09.12.2015 / 3:00 PM ET / News canadiens.com MONTREAL On Saturday, the Canadiens announced that forward Tomas Fleischmann had been invited to training camp on a professional tryout contract. A second-round pick of the Detroit Red Wings back in 2002, Fleischmann split the 2014-15 campaign between the Florida Panthers and the Anaheim Ducks, amassing eight goals and 17 points in 66 regular season games. He also registered one assist in six playoff games with the Ducks this past season. The Koprivnice, Czech Republic native boasts 123 goals and 310 points in 581 career NHL games with the Washington Capitals, Colorado Avalanche, Panthers and Ducks.

Ilya Mikheyev Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Still a 20-30 point player who can play on any line, in the center or the wing. Pretty surprised he didn't get a contract actually, more surprised about Fleischmann than Goc, Lapierre, or even Boyes TBH. He's played a 4th line role before and done well, but still only 3 seasons removed from a 61 point season (he led his team in points that year). Fleischmann has also played with Plekanec in a few international tourneys. In the 2010 Olympics, and actually for a while in the 2013 World Cup Tlustly - Plekanec - Fleischmann was a line, I remember at least one game Plekanec getting 3 assists with that line (the year the Sedins won it with Sweden). If they're looking for more offense, this isn't the worst PTO IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Could add more offense then some of those guys on that team(i.e. kassian). Low risk high reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I thought the Habs' forward lines were pretty set? Unless DSP is being sent packing, I can't see where Fleisch comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoung Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 This makes sense for their bottom six and he can chip in offensively. Hoping for the best for fleish, he was a very good player a couple years ago there's gotta be some left in the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Someone will have to play once Kassian is a healthy scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Someone will have to play once Kassian is a healthy scratch Too bad we traded Kassian already. We could have at least got Fleishmann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The reason montreal cant score is because of their coach, the same coach who tried to make Pittsburgh a Defence first team. Therrien is a bum and needs to be removed, otherwise habs will be stuck in purgatory. Plenty of offensive talent being brought in, but what good is it if the system is outdated by 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The reason montreal cant score is because of their coach, the same coach who tried to make Pittsburgh a Defence first team. Therrien is a bum and needs to be removed, otherwise habs will be stuck in purgatory. Plenty of offensive talent being brought in, but what good is it if the system is outdated by 5 years The Habs have a lot of dynamic offensive players. They've also got Carey Price. So if you can play outstanding defence, the hockey IQ to create things offensively, especially with the guys they have, will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Flash has looked really solid with Montreal so far. Can't imagine them not signing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Fleishman signed s 1 yr $750k year deal this morning. Good deal for Montreal. In the mean time Kassian got into a car accident this morning and is in the hospital. Not many details beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Could be a really good signing for Montreal provided he's given the opportunity to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
