What's Joel Bouchard's roster going to look like this year?

If I am guessing Scherbak graduates.

So:

Rychel-Froese-Bitten
Audette-Evans-(McCarron?)
Addison-Pezzetta-Gregoire
Boucher/?-Vedejmo-Waked/Alain

Taormina-Lernout
Bourque-Gelinas
(?)-Fleury

Lindgren
Fucale

QO's should be out tomorrow, so we'll have a better idea of the roster between then and a the first few days/weeks of July.

Plus a few that might be signed after being invited to development camp next week. Teasdale and Harvey are two names that have been revealed by Lalancette as being invited and I can see both be signed to AHL/ECHL contracts.

Le Canadien de Montréal ne soumettra pas d’offre qualificative à Jérémy Grégoire qui deviendra joueur autonome. Grégoire venait pourtant de connaître la meilleure saison de sa carrière professionnelle. @919sports

Not that surprising, considering the influx of rookies coming. Grégoire contract spot is probably best filled with a Terry-type player.

He was arguably the worst skater in our entire depth chart, a fact that will probably always keep him from becoming anything more than a bottom 6 AHLer. I liked a lot of elements in his game though, he would have been a good potential energy line winger if it weren't for that.

There's also the 2 Czechs we signed on D. They'l start in Laval. I expect Fleury to be signed.

Could use some forward depth. Still not great.

McNiven and Lindgren in Laval. Fucale isn't getting a Q.O.

So it would look like this so far;


C: Froese/Audette/Evans/Vejdemo/Alain/Verbeek/Pezzetta
LW: Rychel/Addison
RW: McCarron/Bitten

LD: Moravcik/Sklenicka/Taormina/Valiev/Bourque
RD: Lernout/Fleury

Goaltender: Lindgren/McNiven

I really hope we can sign a guy Cracknell(RW) and maybe one more solid veteran LW.

We're pretty much set at D & in goal. We need stronger forwards though. I expect Verbeek or Vejdemo to be moved to the wing. Maybe Evans too.

Rychel - Froese - Evans
Vejdemo - McCarron - Bitten
Audette - Alain - Waked
Addison - Verbeek - Pezzetta

A lot of uncertainty. Probably not a great line-up.

I doubt Evans moves on the wing given our lack of imminent options at C in the pipeline and his faceoff prowess.

I don't see McCarron there, not sure they would risk losing him for nothing. Not that I would mind.

But Evans has to be at center, the guy is either the best or top 2 in face-offs every year in the NCAA.

Waked should be in the ECHL imo.

I don't know if they will put 2 rookies together but I would put Evans with Bitten. But we have to see who else they bring in still.

Not sure if Froese is there either. In which case they probably need to sign a couple of vets. Maybe Cracknell?

I'd try,

Agostino Froese Bitten
Audette Chaput Alain
Vejdemo Evans Grenier
Verbeek Pezzetta Addison

The defense we need to see if Moravcik and or Sklenicka will report to Laval or be loaned.

but maybe something like,

Ouellet - Taormina
Valiev - Fleury
Moravcik Lernout
Sklenicka

So in addition to Laval signing Morgan Adams-Moisan, Étienne Marcoux, Phélix Martineau, T.J. Melancon and Adam Plant, they signed,

Nikita Jevpalovs, Alexandre Grenier, Maxim Lamarche, Alex Belzile and Ryan Culkin.

Should have some good ECHL depth perhaps, once they find an ECHL team to work with.

Lots of Q guys. The Bouchard's effect , I guess.
