dlbalr Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Darien Kielb was released from his PTO and Justin Ducharme was sent back to Trois-Rivieres. Kielb did well on his tryout but Nicolas Mattinen appears to be turning some heads and has moved up a couple of spots on the depth chart already. Ducharme going down makes sense. Tory Dello and Cam Hillis were back at practice today so it appears they'll be the next ones to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Mattinen is a big guy and can shoot, too. But how is his skating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Kevin Poulin is sick so Tristan Berube has been signed to a PTO to serve as Primeau's backup this afternoon. Meanwhile, Josh Brook was sent to Trois-Rivieres yesterday. He needs playing time to work off the rust and with Laval being in the thick of a playoff race right now, they can't give it to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ... Berube is the #1 in Laval now, with Primeau recalled to Montreal? And who will be the backup? Our goalie injury situation has been absolutely terrible this year.

dlbalr Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Good news for Laval: They got Jesse Ylonen back after the Winnipeg game last night. Bad news for Laval: Belzile is sick, Bourque and Paquette are hurt (third time already for Paquette), and Heineman was injured in Sweden and there's no timeline for when he'll actually be ready to play for the Rocket.

DON Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Hope Ylonen has great finish and playoffs. Clague/Wideman/Poehling/Daupine; can they be sent to Laval for playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 None of those players are eligible. Primeau, Schueneman, and Barron are the only others that are eligible to go back down and clearly that's not happening with Barron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more that they can't go there, that's why they've been previously signing guys from other ECHL teams. Their two main goalies right now are under contract to Winnipeg and Vancouver. This one is at least a player they won't have to release in a few days to let him go back to his ECHL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Primeau has been sent to Laval but will not join up with the team in Cleveland. They play Monday in Belleville so that's when he'll likely report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Of the healthy players currently on Montreal's roster, only Schueneman can be added to Laval's roster for the playoffs.

alfredoh2009 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 good article on JF Houle in Laval (article in French: <<L'autre élément à prendre en considération pour évaluer le travail de l'homme de hockey de 47 ans, c'est le départ de Marc Bergevin et son principal lieutenant, Scott Mellanby, qui avaient un gros mot à dire sur la gestion des effectifs à Laval. Ces deux départs ont augmenté la charge de travail de Houle, qui s'est retrouvé à gérer les nombreux mouvements de personnel de son équipe, de concert avec John Sedgwick, désormais directeur général adjoint des Canadiens. >> my loose translation: * Marc Bergevin and Scott Melamby used to manage closely the AHL roster/movement * after their exit, JF Houle has been handling most of the work, in conjunction with Sedgwick Ma chronique sur le site web de la LNH ce matin.

I expect Sedgwick should take on a bigger role over time or they bring someone else in to be a director of hockey ops for Laval and Trois-Rivieres combined.

alfredoh2009 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 was it planned that Harris would not be added to the Laval team? Or a mistake? I forget what the explanation was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
