Puck drop is at 3 PM and the game can be seen on RDS.  A Laval victory would win them the series.

Top 5 scorers for each team ... personally I would list the guy with 3 goals ahead of the other 3 point players.

That is a good recap.

 

Is there a reason they kept Norlinder in the lineup? Are they short on forwards?

 

He did not have an impact and was noticeable except on soft plays

 

If they bury their chances next game, they should win. Laval played well

They're not short on forwards but it looks like they'd rather have Norlinder play 7 or 8 minutes over someone like Kevin Roy or Lucas Condotta.  They have a handful of forwards up from Trois-Rivieres as well so it's not a numbers issue.  I also think they figured Norlinder would play his way into the top six by now and displace someone like Dello but that hasn't happened either.

It’s the playoffs , I doubt that he can pull his intensity to the level his teammates have

 

I am sure he will be a top-6 in Laval next season. I wonder if they are playing him in case there is a trade involving Norlinder. He is behind Guhle, Harris and not as well suited for 3rd LD as Struble

Not real good development year for Norlinder or a Brook. Cant say get good feeling either will help the Habs much down the road.

one of Norlinder or Harris should be moved IMHO. They are similar, but so far Harris looked better. It is too early to pass judgement on either, but they seem to me like similar players.

I agree that one likely will be moved ... but I would allow them to hopefully develop some value first as I doubt either brings back much right now.

I am not saying it has to happen right now, but if there is an opportunity to improve the club: go for it

Agreed ... I am of the "ANYONE can be traded in the right deal" philosophy ... was just saying that IMO it may take some time before they develop enough for a trade to improve the club.

but why run the risk of a Poehling or Brook loosing all their trade value ?

 

Habs do not need to take all the development risk on prospects, they can trade when the value is the highest and for some players that is soon after the draft or in their ELC year

And what value is that, swap for another AHLer?

I dont think Harris and Norlinder are that similar.

 

Harris is much stronger defensively and not as dynamic offensively.  Hes also already shown his skills are likely to translate at the NHL level.  Norlinder has struggled in the top Swedish league and AHL.  There are some reasons to excuse some of that performance but also its a worrying sign. He may overcome those struggles but right now he looks worse than Sami Niku did at the same age.  Id be fine to trade him.  Poehling too.

As I said, in the right trade anyone can be dealt.

yeah, equivalent to a change of scenery like we did in the McCarron for Dauphin or Kulak (unproven at the time) for Taormina and Valiev
