Don't read anything into being on the fourth line as a sign of him struggling at this point. Guys that are 2nd liners in junior as he was are typically on the edges of the roster in their first professional seasons and Mysak is a bit of a project player to begin with. There will be a balancing act of what's best for him (he might get some ECHL time to play bigger minutes) but I don't think him being on the fourth line is any reason for concern this early in the season. He's holding down a regular spot in the lineup at a time when the team is carrying 16 healthy forwards so he's doing something right.

Plutarch Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Bummed to see Teasdale on the 4th. He's actually produced reasonable when healthy... I guess at least he is playing 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 5'6" 183lber, is a stocky fella and seemed a pretty darn smart player in junior, but we shall see if can he handle pro sized opponents and be productive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Pitlick was sent back to Laval today. While many think this is due to Matheson's impending return, it's also possible that they're just playing him tonight in Laval to keep him fresh and that he'll be brought back up as the 13th forward tomorrow. That's what I'd be doing if I were them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I do not understand why the Habs are keeping rookies at the NHL level when their AHL club is is dire need of talent. Do they trust the coaching staff in Laval? Are they hoarders? Les choses peuvent changer rapidement dans la LAH. C'est comme si on attendait les premières blessures à Laval et là elles arrivent toutes en même temps. M. Norlinder, A. Belzile, G. Bourque et N. Schnarr seront absents pour blessures ce soir; T. Dello est malade. — Anthony Marcotte (@anthonymarcotte) November 23, 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Montreal only has 12 healthy forwards at the moment, there's not much they can do there. Tonight's situation with the D notwithstanding, they've basically been carrying nine healthy d-men the last couple of weeks down there which has has them rotating most of their back end for weeks now. Adding another d-man makes a tough situation down there even worse.

Hoarding is what comes to mind, Habs seem to be holding on to players and not making a decision based on performance but on development of a handful of prospects. I much rather see them trade the surplus players for late picks or Ds for Fs. It is like they are saving some of these extra players until a trade can be worked out with depth players being bundled. my $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
