Cursed team The team can't force a player to have surgery ... I suspect Monahan thought he could get away with rehab, until it became obvious that he could not.

Are they cursed? The amount of injuries piling up borders on the ridiculous. No need to play an 18 year against grown mature men unless it's a truly exceptional case (ie. McDavid or Bedard).

Schueneman has been recalled, a D may be injured but yet not announced. Harris? Corey Schueneman recalled. That means Jordan Harris won’t play tomorrow. @CanadiensMTL— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) April 3, 2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, there isn't much of a need for the regular recalls now anyway. The defence is in emergency recall mode from here on out and unless Dach is able to come back at some point, so are the forwards. Having the one regular recall slot left allows them to call a second D/F up if need be but I don't think they want to take away from Laval. As it is, I expect Schueneman and Primeau will both go down for Friday's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have not supported them all season, why would they change now. There is a higher probability that Schueneman, Primeau, RHP or Ylonen get hurt in the next few games than for them to be sent down to Laval.

Commandant Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 What is supporting the team in laval.... trading assets for career AHLers who will help the team win, but take away ice time from prospects? Why would you want them to do this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Alex Belzille type AHL veterans? How does this help build an NHL winner. The pens of 09 were built with a core of Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Fleury, Gonchar, Letang, Guerin, and Kunitz. Guys who spent almost 0 time.with their AHL team. The lightning have their Point, Stamkos, Vasilevskiy, Hedman, Kucherov, again guys who spent no time in the AHL. So again... how is putting a bunch of vets together on an AHL team to win games at the expense of developing prospects, a good plan to win cups?

Syracuse made the Calder Cup finals three years before TBL won the first of their two most recent Cups. As Commandant said above, Calder Cup champions usually are not "developmental" ... IMO, in the midst of a rebuild is not the time to stock up on career AHLers to seek playoff success ... further, were it not for the Habs injuries this season, The Rocket currently would likely have Belzile, RHP, Pezzetta, Pitlick and Ylönen in their lineup ... hardly the intentional neglect you imply.
