Laval Rocket Thread

To play devil's advocate, which prospect do you really have high hopes for on the Rocket?

There's Justin Barron, sure, but after that it's a series of longshots. The leftover prospects from last year are the same ones who couldn't force management to make space for them on one of the worst Canadiens rosters in the last 25 years.

The only two I have some hope for are RHP and Ylonen.

High hopes? Maybe Mysak.

Yes, as a one time resident of Chomedey (albeit when I was about 4 years old) who still has relatives living in Laval des Rapides just a stone's throw from Place Bell, I am aware of this. But the Habs wear jerseys with a lion on them while the Laval Rocket wear one with a chicken on them. Big difference.

Do you ever feel the need to sue yourself for mental duress?

Ylonen became a nothing prospect when he was given plenty of opportunity to make the team last year and did nothing.

Mysak's a longterm project. We'll see how he goes.
 
Maybe, but here's Mysak's problem: He's already been passed on the depth chart by Beck and possibly even Mesar if he's a center at the NHL level (Haven't seen him play, I don't know one way or the other). Both players have shown more to me than Mysak has so far. As mentioned in the other thread, I think Beck is probably going to start as our #4 center next season.

I have faith in Mysak, but he's got some good competition in front of him.

I think Beck has elevated himself to second line center discussion though. He may get to the bigs first but he'll move up the chart and make room for Mysak.

If the Habs don't get a center like Fantilli then I could see a future of

Suzuki
Beck
Mysak

If Beck doesn't have enough offense then you drop him to 3 and Mysak to 4. The thing I like about Mysak is his attitude and perseverance. Much like Plekanec did he seems to put his head down and work and keep working and showing improvements. Guys like that you win with, as long as there's some skill there too.
 
I don't see Mesar as a center in the NHL. He could surprise me but I would lay odds against.

Ylonen will always look like a guy who could make the next step because he's a good AHL player. But he's probably not going to be much more than that. Sure, he could maybe latch on with one of the 32 teams out there in need of a spare forward but he's never going to be anything special.

Inflation means nothing

I see Hugo as detailed value oriented folks

They would of never paid Gally and Price , unlike Nero who overpaid most players

PLD is going to the highest bidder and I dont see Hugo making an overpay push

Team is years away from being good
