Prospect Info: Canadiens 2016 Rookie Tournament Thread (Sept 16th to 18th)

[Beaker]

Didn't he drop a bunch of weight...he weighed this a couple of years ago. Looking at some of the other guys, it looks like they're using old measurables.

At the training camp in 2013 he was listed at 6'05 237. Hudon was listed 5'10 178. Reway 5'08 170. Gregoire 6'0 187. Fucale 6'01 178. Some smal changes over the years.

Surprised Henrikson is there but glad to see Lehkonen there. With Fiore they could use some ECHL depth. Palmu would have to go back to the OHL with McNiven if they opted to sign him since he just turned 19 last month.

 

[Alex514]

Will these games be shown somewhere....Web cast?

In previous years, games were shown on SportsNET or TSN.

Im sure some, if not all will be broadcast for the hockey starved Canadian public

 

[Habs100]

I guess it's a good sign that they see Hudon above this level/doesn't have much to learn.

imo he's ready for the NHL.

At the very least Hudon and Lehkonen should be fighting with Byron for a spot next to Mitchell and Danault on the fourth line.

Pacioretty Pleks Gallagher
Ghetto/Shaw Galchenyuk Radulov
Carr DD Ghetto/Shaw
Lehkonen/Hudon/Byron Danault Mitchell

Are the Habs rookies enlisted in a rookie tournament?

yes

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Maybe they sign Fiore because we didn't draft anyone from the Q this year.

Lehkonen-McCarron-Scherbak
Addison-Reway-Bitten
Pezzetta-Audette-Bradley
Palmu-Gregoire-Fiore

Sergachyev-Juulsen
Bourque-Lernout
Mete-Johnston

Man I'm SO looking forward to watching some Habs prospect action .

Is it going to be on tv? If so what channel?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

There was an internet stream last year, I'm guessing we'll have something similar.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Leafs are going to dominate the tournament. We should be the second best team though.

 

[cphabs]

Thank you!

 

[CapSpace]

I really like the Palmu invitation. This guy could be something.

 

[get25]

Henrikson feedback on devp camp.

”Michael McCarron was a good player, Mikhail Sergachev was very good as well. But when it comes to pure skill it was Martin Réway and Charles Hudon that stood out, but I am not sure Hudon will be part of rookie camp.”

 

[TT1]

i like McCool from the invites, rest is pretty meh.

 

[Dominator13]

Hopefully Sherbak sticks to RW where he belongs this season.

 

[1909]

Hopefully Sherbak sticks to RW where he belongs this season.

I totally agree with that. He's not a centerman at all.

 

[neil2005]

No Duke? Pretty Surprising for me. Thought he'd had a contract, now now even an invitee while others like Eansor, Fiore, McCool and Palmu were....

Was Duke signed somewhere else?

He's going to the Rangers rookie camp. He was at their summer camp as well. Probably has a contract in his back pocket with them.

Wow Thanks. I thought he did more than enough to get a contract following the develpment camp. Shouldn't be the end of the world...but I think he can be a very good AHL'er.

 

[Whitesnake]

Guillaume Asselin was added to the rookie tournament roster. Asselin was playing in University for Trois-Rivières....no idea why they even thought of this guy instead of so many others but hey, fun thing for the kid.

Connor Crisp is barely an AHLer, I doubt he would be ready to be an NHL bottom 6.

Having concussion problems certainly doesn't help a player, especially a physical type like Connor Crisp(71st OV 2013). I'm quite sure he's been staying in the best possible shape one can under the circumstances, having seen the progress of Arturri Lehkonen (Whose injury problems seen him drop to the Habs @55thOV 2013, 16 picks before Crisp) gives a positive note to these young prospects with concussion problems. If treated properly, given the right therapy(Time seems to heal these problems)Crisp could very well be a pleasant surprise. Experience at the AHL level of 56 games is less than a full season, missing all but the month of October last year, but he did look good in his few games played. He needs to keep his head up in the AHL where headhunting is at a premium it seems, I'm sure he's fully aware after missing last season.

As a Habs fan, having another bigger forward with good skating and defensive skillset at center is a definite plus, especially if he can excel this AHL season.

Did you see him play in his Montreal Junior days ? You remember anything in particular ?

Too far in my memory. Don't recall that much.

That name sounds familiar, didn't we invite him to a camp years ago? Maybe back when he was teammates with Hudon?

I see all those years of heavy partying have taken their toll .

I wish..... Remember the name...but just don't remember his play.

 

[Anardil]

I also have vague memories of the name. If I recall correctly, he was one of the Junior`s highly touted early midget choices. But he ended up being a bust. Basically a lots of flash, little substance player.
