Training Camp 2022

I hope Belzile gets a shot somewhere else.
I think Belzile is turning into what Mike Keane was for the Manitoba Moose or even Rich Clune for the Toronto Marlies. He understands what his role is, he knows that he's probably not going to play more than the odd NHL game, but he's playing near home and he's making a pretty decent salary. I don't think it's a coincidence that he keeps sticking around either. He could have been like Xavier Ouellet and try his shot elsewhere, but he wants to stay here.

There's real value in having a player like him in your farm system.
 


*****

Under NHL contract, they will be loaned to the Laval Rocket:

Filip Mesar and Mattias Norlinder

Placed on waivers by the Canadiens:

Alex Belzile, Anthony Richard and Mitchell Stephens

Released from the Canadiens training camp, they will join the Laval Rocket training camp:

Kevin Poulin and Xavier Simoneau

My man's the only player (excluding prospects) without an NHL contract that's still in camp. Good on him.
 
Surely he needs some time in the AHL?

Team needs a right shot, he’s left. Would prefer taking a player off the waivers scrap heap and let these guys play in the A.
