2020-2021 Laval Rocket

[Whitesnake]

For Laval....if I'm the Habs, I try to get Samuel Asselin out of Boston/Providence. Neat centerman with some very good hockey IQ.

So next season, there will be different amount of games played in different divisions. But as of the season after (2022-23), all teams will play 72 games.

Next year, Laval's division will be basted on points percentage because some teams will play 72 games and others will play 76.

Cleveland, Rochester, and Syracuse will play 76 games. Meanwhile Laval, Belleville, Toronto, and Utica will play 72.

The season is set to begin October 15th. But no detail on that and the format for the playoffs. They will release it later in the summer.

wonder why we lost 4 games, so we have gone from 80 to 76 to 72 in some 10 years or so. (not talking about these 2 covid impacted years)

Laval begins the season at home on the 15th:

Is there a particular reason for why teams are playing different number of games?

it's been that way for the past couple of years, the west coast teams play 68 while the rest of the league play 76 due to travel costs but not sure why next season some will play 72 and others 76.

Like it ! Great skater

 

[Number 57]

Interesting signing.

He is from the North Shore / Laurentides area

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Is there some actual potential there ? Purely stats watching he doesn't seem to be anything special.

Nothing to write home about in terms of NHL potential. But a good body to have for 3R and Laval.

I actually wanted us to sign him after the '18-'19 season because I thought he looked better then Houde that year but then the next season his numbers fell off a cliff and Houde had the better year with RHP leading the way.

Gabriel Bourque signed an AHL deal with the team​

 

[Whitesnake]

What a great signing....but what a fall from the kid. Was clearly on a NHL path. And now...can't even sign a NHL 2-way contract....

[Pompeius Magnus]

Kinda weird that he'd settle for that, he's actually a decent energy guy in the NHL. Maybe he wanted to come home ?

 

[Number 57]

He didn't even play anywhere this year.

He wasn't getting an NHL deal

No you're right, I was mentally skipping a year, for whatever reason I thought he played somewhere in 20-21. I guess he's happy with that deal then.

Juste want to know is there any news on the next Joel Bouchard contract with Laval ??

Probably not until the POs are done. When asked, he didn't want to discuss it.

I don't see a new ECHL thread, but I just wanna say I'm a Lion fan as you can see by my avatar and location. It's the birthplace of Le Gros Bill.
