GHT120 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Watched the worst parts of the game ... caught GA 2 to 5 ... two were PP, one pre-powerplay 6-on-5 ... but didn't think Primeau looked strong on any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly wasn't his best game. That one was definitely winnable, especially with Greaves not being sharp at the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not so sure about that, I believe that with Ylonen, Harvey-Pinard, Barron and a healthy Belzile the Rocket would have done well. If Harris would have been papered to the AHL, that would also have been really good for a long playoff run. That is what I would have done. But of course, no potato head has ever GM'ed a professional Hockey team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 They couldn’t have sent everyone down, though, as they need to have a minimum of 18 healthy skaters in Montreal. So, yes, with the top prospects, the Rocket should have had a better season, I agree, but with the Habs’ injuries there was no way to leave those players in Laval this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve lost interest in the Rocket and the Habs this season. I only follow this forum because it is the best place to keep updated on what is going on.

I don't think they want to be in a position where they don't have a contract slot when they need one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have five players listed there - the maximum is four (as they then have to be brought up using regular recalls) and Montreal would have been out of regular recalls for the rest of the way. It's also worth noting that their intent was to paper Barron down but he was injured the night before, making him ineligible to go down by league rule. Harris won't get a long playoff run in with Laval but if he's healthy by the end of the month, there's a very good chance he'll play at the Worlds so there should still be some development for him. A small silver lining at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small silver lining at least. I don’t get this nonsense of sending Harris down to make Laval better. You send guys down that need it for their development. Of our young D, he is not one that needs time in Laval. Barron, sure? But as you said he is injured. 100% agree with you about the world’s being potentially an option for Harris. Hopefully he gets the call because it is good for HIS development, which will help us in the future. The point of a minor league team is to help develop players because they are not ready for the NHL. You don’t try and load up the AHL team for a run beciae the NHL team sucks. Why don’t we just send down Suzuki? Hell we could even send down Gallagher? No risk of losing him on waivers either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's better for him, turn pro now or hope for a bigger role in his senior year? And if he does do well in his senior year, could that push him to free agency? I'm in the sign him now camp for that reason but I don't have much of an inkling either way as to what will happen. Im in the not worth a 50 man contract spot right now and he needs that big senior season before i put him on the books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Well, someone that we don't know of must be healthy as otherwise, I'm a bit unsure as to how they managed to pull this off. Primeau/Schueneman are simple as they're emergency guys (and Allen/Harris are technically still 'active') and Farrell's spot on the roster meant one of Ylonen/Harvey-Pinard could go down. Wonder if they're classifying Dach as healthy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Harvey-Pinard/Ylonen both expect to not be recalled for one of the remaining Montreal games. That's particularly noteworthy since Dach didn't skate today so it's hard to imagine him playing Wednesday/Thursday. That means someone else would need to come up since Farrell can only cover one of those spots. (Or there's a college FA signing coming that we don't know about yet.) It doesn't look like Allen/Harris will be back so Primeau and a defenceman will need to be recalled and miss Wednesday's Laval game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
