dlbalr Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I know they want to be patient but at some point, if I was in charge, I'd be inclined to call J-F Berube and see if he wants a PTO deal (25 games). Mann could then go to Trois-Rivieres and split time with Vrbetic and Emond would join them whenever he's cleared to return as he's not exactly an AHL-level goalie either. A Laval housekeeping note, the Habs quietly converted Lindstrom's emergency recall to a regular one yesterday which means he's staying with them for the time being. Makes a lot of sense, really, with them going on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also note that with Guhle healthy, they were back to 6 healthy defencemen, so it was either convert the "emergency recall" to a regular recall or send him back to Laval.

Signed to a cheap AHL contract to be a backup--but Dobes is not doing any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy seems to be doing great. On another post quoting EOP, He seems to have impressed those that follow Laval and the Habs prospects. Based on the HabsWorld report, Mailloux is also doing well. I have not followed the Rocket too much this season, and when I check up on the team and dismiss the goaltending stats or the wins/losses. I am looking for indicators of the development progress of the prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAB was not drafted. Now, MAB produced much more in the minors. Mailloux's development has was interrupted and he is trying to get back on track. I am hopeful Mailloux will have a better career than Marc-André Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 watched the 3rd. Rocket players seem NOT to be playing collectively. Too many chips off the glass and dumps behind the opposing net without being able to gain puck possession. Dobes looked nervous and green, handled puck like a grenade. Looking forward to the Marlies game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been perhaps the dark horse candidate of the young defense prospects but his brute strength and physical play can only be matched by Arber among the young defensemen. It seems like he has quietly progressed away from the spotlight that the other prospects have received. I like the fact that he could have signed anywhere as he spent 4 years in college but chose to sign with the Habs despite all their young prospects. I think that showed a lot of confidence. I am cheering for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
