DON Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Non-Hab/Rocket Charles Hudon had another 2g game. 7pts in 4gms. If he keeps it up, some GM might offer Habs a later round pick for his rights. (Swiss league likely 1/4 step slower than AHL, so allows Hudon's lack of NHL foot speed too not be an issue.)

tomh009 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Sure, I wouldn't turn down a fourth-rounder. But neither is it a big deal. If Hudon finds success and happiness playing in Switzerland, I'll be happy for him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a factor, he sounds disgruntled, screw him and just hope can get some value for him after being waived couple times already and no other team wanted him.

Hey, dude, I'm just stating my personal opinion. I hold no grudge against Hudon, or Alzner, or anyone else that we drafted, signed or traded for but didn't make the cut. These players want to play and succeed, and I don't blame them for that, even if they aren't quite good enough to play in the NHL. Of course, if you prefer to blame the player, it's your choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame him for not working and/or training hard enough and then recently blaming others for his failings. He seems to of has earned his way from a 10g 30pt NHL rookie season to Swiss league. An Alzner, I have zero issue with, totally different story and wish him the best in whatever he does now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Rob Ramage: « On a Brett Stapley, qui est un moteur de l’attaque à l’Université de Denver. Il va disputer sa troisième année et il progresse très bien » On the surface a positive assessment (he drives the attack at UoDenver and he has progressed well) ... but it strikes me as a bit of a pro forma assessment ... say something nice but don't set the bar too high. Is anyone familiar with this play at UoD? His stats for his sophomore season were similar to Evans' at Notre Dame . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 From La Rose: 23) Brett Stapley Centre, Denver (NCAA) 7th round pick (190th overall in 2018) This was not a pick that I was a fan of at the time. A re-entry player that didn’t exactly light up the BCHL didn’t scream must-draft. But after adapting quite well to the NCAA game, the Habs may have something here. Stapley hovered near the point per game mark through the first couple of months of the season and while he tailed off after that, securing a legitimate spot in the top six quickly is still impressive for a freshman without a lot of pedigree. All in all, he was fifth on the Pioneers in scoring by a forward which isn’t half bad. The big question that remains here is what type of upside he has. Stapley is a strong playmaker but his other offensive skills aren’t quite good enough yet. He’s still a long-term project but there is some upside on the horizon which gives him a big boost from last year’s ranking. 2018-19 Stats: 32 GP, 5-14-19, +9 rating, 35 PIMS, 52 shots, 192/381 faceoffs (50.4%)Previous HW Ranking: 35thNHL ETA: 2023-24/2024-25 – It certainly looks like Stapley is going to be a four-year college player and a lot of those players need at least a full season in the minors after that. Stapley could buck that trend but the safer bet is that he won’t. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2020/4/3/21206439/brett-stapley-following-jake-evans-footsteps-montreal-canadiens-seventh-round-ben-chiarot-interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
