Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 24” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Yeah you’re reading the title right conflicting reports on this Montreal Canadians defenseman now last time we had talked about this guy we made a video talking about the great news that he got called back up to the Montreal Canadians of course you know who we’re talking about today’s video was about

Arbor Jai a guy who used his time at the AHL to become a bit more disciplined to get some point production out there and in the words of the man himself to not take things for granted Arbor jacai is a guy who is 22 years old definitely has a

Lot of value heading into the next few years especially with his brother being in the Canadian system too there’s a really nice connection here that we have talked about in a multiple number of videos but when it comes to the idea of an arbor jaai trade we had an idea about

This floating around during the weekend it’s not the biggest surprise in the world to see a guy who gets sent s down after being a full-time NHL player a year ago especially at 21 22 years old it’s not the biggest surprise if a guy like that gets sent down to see his name

Be mentioned by different NHL personalities as a potential trade oh this guy was a young Prospect who was in the NHL and now he’s sent down what’s the status on that this is where Elliot fredman went out during the hockey Day in Canada broadcast on Saturday and said

This regarding Arbor Jai and the Canadians I wouldn’t be surprised if Philly was one of the teams that was calling Montreal about Jacy I don’t know if it was a cutter go deal or something else but it makes a lot of sense if jacai is not going to be a Canadian man

He’s a flyer fredman repeats though that the Habs have told other teams they are not trading Jai and this was just a few days ago we didn’t make a video about it because it was a passing comment oh yeah the Canadians have a guy that they value and

A guy that they’re not going to trade wow that’s such a great video idea to make Lego right and I guess you could say oh but you could talk about the idea of Philadelphia being interested in that profile coming together because obviously it makes sense right Arbor Jai

Is a big brute of a human being that can hit he can check he can make people answer the Bell he fights really well and you could say that these qualities of his physicality have hurt him actually in the ways that he has played this season but of course with him

Getting sent down to lval hopefully he’s able to take fewer penalties for the remainder of this NHL season and that kind of a profile if you wanted talk about the Philadelphia style you talk about John torella and his reputation what he likes out of his players torz is

The kind of coach that if he catches you playing with a lack of heart or a lack of pace he’s going to go out there and punish you because of it if you show heart on your sleeve in front of John torella that guy’s going to respect you

And arber shaki fits that bill pretty well now before we go over to the conflicting report on why this entire video is being made now I just wanted to highlight that idea of a cutter go trade for jaai that hypothetical idea that fredman went out there and tossed out if

The montrea Canadians were indeed asked by Philly to do some sort of a go for shakai Swap and the Canadians said no I’m not going to lie man Kent Hughes I feel like that’s a little bit of an L like sure we had talked all this entire time about Arbor jaai and his

Intangibles the past he was an undrafted guy signed out of the OHL he was in Costco and just a few years later he’s in the NHL he’s got his brother in the Canadians organization too even though it’s a fantastic story at the end of the day cutter goce is a top five pick

Caliber Prospect and a guy who was such a stud at both the world juniors and the Boston College Eagle system in the NCAA he has been so good 30 points 21 games played this season in the NCAA and 12 points in seven games in the world Junior tournament for Team USA and he

Had all the awards at this year’s tney all started team best forward top three player on the team the gold medal he was a stud and with that pedigree of being a top five pick just from 2022 so two seasons ago I feel like the Canadians

Probably would have stood to gain a lot from a profile like this imagine a top six with cutter goce Nick Suzuki Cole Coffield yuris lvovsky Kirby Dock and Alex new hook that’s a young upand cominging top six that will just get better with age and the fact that cutter

Was traded for Jamie Dale in the real trade that we saw I said hey it’s a pretty good deal like for both sides Philly is getting a defenseman they need more defense and of course cutter goce the prize top scorer in this trade is going over to Anaheim whom cutter goce

Can play well with and fit alongside of some of their other centers like Mason McTavish and Leo Carlson these are some great names and because they have a lot of defensemen I mean it’s understandable to see why drale was sent off Montreal you could debate the same things going

On here how many young defensemen are on this Canadians blue line right now you’ve got the Jordan harrises you’ve got the stroubles the Ghoulies the jacis and you just send Justin Baron down the mtra Canadians we had already talked about this in several videos they kind

Of have a lot of guys so if you had the opportunity to trade away one of these players for a top five Prospect in Cutter go honestly I think it’s kind of a n that they didn’t take it but of course that’s just all speculation from fredman without further Ado though let’s

Go over on to our source that maybe has a bit of a conflict idea our source is John Charles leis who had himself an article on TVA Sports I’ll leave a link in the description if you want to go ahead and read this but it is in French

So you have to translate it to English like me if you don’t really read French properly this is the piece from yesterday I’m pretty sure the 23rd don’t be surprised to see Arbor jaai get traded JC says the Canadians were called Jacki from the rocket late Monday terrific news for the robust Defender

But also for a large majority of the team supporters who have have been calling for this recall for several weeks the article talks about the jacai conversation it goes over his toughness etc etc John Charles says he likes the fact they called him back up but a certain fairness is also achieved with

The dismissal of Baron to laal the young right-hander like shakai does not need to go through the waiver process either the mtra Canadians GM told me there were no plans to test shakai in a fourth line Winger role this is commendable in the circumstances Jai has an interesting

Profile giving his robustness the kind of profile that suits several GM in the NHL the idea of her calling him was the right one and I think the Habs are doing it at the right time 6 and 1/2 weeks before the deadline I know you love jaai

And don’t want to hear about a trade involving him at all but I repeat I am not convinced at all that the sheriff is a part of Jeff Gordon and Kent Hughes cards in the medium and long term with all the talent that the Habs will have

At the Blue Line specifically on that left side I’m afraid there will be no room for the organization so Jean Charles goes out there and writes don’t be surprised is to see jacai involved in a trade between now and the upcoming draft in June a trade that will make you

Jump exactly like when Hughes in the middle of the Bell Center during the first round of the 2022 draft announced he had given away Romanov in a three team trade so even though Elliot Freedman on Saturday’s headlines said the Canadians have told other teams no we’re not trading jaai you’ve got Montreal media

On TVA Sports writing articles saying no I disagree I don’t think the Canadians have jacai in their la term plans and you shouldn’t be surprised if he actually gets traded and this is one of the things that I just absolutely love to see in a way like insiders

Journalists I mean these are people that cover hockey from different perspectives of course like John Charles does mostly Canadians related stuff and he writes articles and has his own TV show talking about Canadian stuff Elliot fredman covers the league with the multiple sources he has around the league so to

Hear conflicting ideas of course you could say okay one guys connected one guy maybe isn’t as connected one guy is just spitting off the top of the Dome the other guy is retelling what he’s hearing but at the end of the day you know because there is contention because

There is conflict I wanted to go out there and make this video because for all the French stuff that gets published on YouTube I go out there and say it all the time man like French media is another animal you know I’m hearing Vancouver BC we don’t get a lot of the

Frankophone reporting not a lot of the radio hits or the phone in the shows or the Articles or the websites or the newspapers or the television like we don’t get a lot of that and because Montreal hockey is so big over there like just some of the extra stuff that’s

Covered doesn’t really translate into English too often but when you look at it when you acknowledge what’s actually being said it’s kind of like the wild wild west of hockey rumors and discussion so Montreal Canadians fans what are your thoughts on the idea of an arbor Jacky trade and what reaction do

You have to these conflicting Reports fredman say suggested the idea that maybe the Canadians had an opportunity to get a guy like cutter goce for Jacy but he said it’s of course just an idea he doesn’t know if it’s really the case here but if that was it then what are

Your thoughts on that what are your thoughts on the idea of the Canadians standing Pat and telling other teams no we’re not trading Jai and what are your thoughts on the idea of Montreal journalist saying nope I’m calling their Bluff they may actually trade him soon and if Arbor shakai does find himself

Getting traded what do you think the price is if you’re a Philadelphia Flyers fan what are your thoughts on this idea would you want to be involved in an arbor Jacy trade get Dale and Jacky improve your blue line with two very capable guys who are young within the

Span of a few weeks let me your thoughts in the comment section below I hope you enjoyed this v99 and Bye
