Les Habitants Prospects Thread

Weirdly enough, mostly because we’re not used to it at all, we seem to have some prospects challenging for bottom 6 positions. Love it. But to put some breaks into the optimism, it takes some time for players to accept AND be efficient in a bottom 6 role. We’ll see how it goes.

That's the beauty. We don't have all our eggs in one basket.

And in 3.5 years I'd be shocked if we don't have multiple current centre prospects better than 32 year old Evans
 
Like, if Kapanen had any fucking sense, and played in Laval he'd probably be the one getting called up instead of Beck/RHP.

And come next year, we'd have a good idea if he's an everyday NHLer or not after seeing him play a year in Laval.

While Armia/Dvorak/Evans/Pezzetta are Pending UFAs and I think at least 3 of them are gone, I believe we'll be signing some free agents to fill in those roles. Not to mention Demidov stepping in immediately and I think Beck might be ahead of Kapanen in the pecking order. I don't think there's going to be a spot for him right out of camp, assuming there aren't injuries. And what happens if Roy gets his shit together and has a great summer of training, then comes to camp ready to rock?

Just dumb. The time it takes to be overtaken by other incoming prospects is almost instantaneous and it happens without warning. William Trudeau had a good camp, and one year later his NHL potential is all but gone because the new crop of D prospects passed him up.

Didn't his SHL contract say he had to return if not on the habs?

I don't know the details of that, whether it was due to his SEL contract or a clauses added to his own contract... but in both cases, those are contracts he signed voluntarily.

Sure. Very hard to fault him for signing a pro hockey contract
