HF Habs: Canadiens Development Camp (July 1 to 4)

[DougHarvey]

So why are you on a message board called Hockeys Future if you don’t like discussing the future of hockey?

Seeing as how you seem to be older, this seems equivalent to being on a rocking chair on your front porch and scowling at everyone that walks by because there’s nothing better to do.

Adam engstrom really stood out IMO.

I think he'll play in the show.

Wow!

 

[Tyson]

I thought Trudeau was Laval best defenseman last year

Once they gave him a legitimate chance he became the best D in Laval for sure.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Adam engstrom really stood out IMO.

I think he'll play in the show.

Wow!

Been high on him since last year's development camp.

His skating is excellent and he sees the ice very well. A lot of poise with the puck. I hope he develops more of aggressivity offensively, he has the tools to take risks. It's all about confidence.

Rogle just knows how to develop good players.

He made some really nice plays out of his stickhandling too. I want to know which scout recommended him, because it looks far from a Rockstrom pick lol.

 

[Runner77]

I watched the post-scrimmage interviews and I was very impressed by Rob Ramage when he spoke about the players and with the way he responded to each member of the media, he gave very well thought-out answers, a good listen.

I'd add I highly recommend listening to Ramage and the 1 hour post camp interview.

Wow!

He has the tools and the smarts. All he needs imo is to get stronger.

Slaf, Engstrom, Beck, Hutson, all from one draft.

The odds on hitting on 4 players is one draft is very, very, very rare. So I will refrain from getting too optimistic.

I mean, they all can hit just not at the same kind of level. But they all very well can be NHL players.

 

[ZUKI]

Michkov was obviously the correct pick if you're not a p***y organization.

that Michkov was obviously the correct pick - BB , based on personal researches

Our forwards stink, water is wet, leafs suck, the sky is blue , what's new

Haineux vont hainer ?

Let's hope it's another McDonagh, Subban, Pacioretty, Weber type of draft.

Is Slaf le Jeune Veberre?

A totally different sport but the 1974 NFL draft netted 5 Hall of Famers, four of which were Pittsburgh Steelers. Now that's a heck of a draft

1983 NFL draft produced 8 HOFers including Elway, Marino and Jim Kelly

Wow!

Guhle, Xhekaj, Reinbacher, Engstrom, Barron, Mailloux, Hutson, Harris, Trudeau
That's an impressive young group of D we have.....

That will eventually be a problem, but although Engstrom impress me also, he has a lot of competition.

4 from one team in one draft...that is insane

Habs have so many excellent D prospects that they will soon slowly start moving some of them.

[River Meadow]

Yeah I just listened to that interview.

5ft9 is honestly perfectly fine for what he is.

5ft7 would have been iffy for sure but a legit 5ft9 is totally fine.

Anything additional would be gravy.

 

[Hannibal]

Hutson getting check his growth plates is somewhat funny lol

 

[River Meadow]

Hutson getting check his growth plates is somewhat funny lol

Yeah. Doing his due diligence.

It's smart.

He probably gets hormones and etc, checked as well (or at least I would if I were a professional athlete).

The purpose is to know your body, where you're at, and where/what needs optimized.

 

[Kennerback]

Our 2007 draft was awesome.

He’ll be listed as 5’10” on his NHL.com player page and that’s all that matters lol

Adam engstrom really stood out IMO.

Wow!

Just finished to watch the game, Engstrom and Hutson were hands down the stand out in this game, Reinbacher was pretty calm and poised as well. We have 3 blue chip D prospects, I have been pretty high on Engtrom for a while, we got 2 gems outside of the 1st round, both kids will end up much higher than Mateychuk (12th OV) and Korchinski (7th OV) in a re-draft, you can bookmark me on that.

Engstrom's talent level is pretty underrated, everything is so smooth and efforless in his game, has great hands/skating combo, pretty smart out there and excellent vision. he can execute high level plays at will, solid IQ, good gap and high compete.

Hutson is Hutson, one of the most imprevisible and creative D prospects I have ever watched, He generates alot of chaos with his unreal stickhandling skills and lateral skating movements. The scrimmage was played 4 on 4 and Hutson was quite in his element.

Mailloux is a good prospect, but doesnt belong in the same tier as those guys IMO, The athletic tools are there, but the IQ limited.

Goaltending was extremmely solid, up front I didnt notice much, I thought Mesar had a good game overall.

Reinbacher, Engstrom, Hutson are all top 3 material and top our prospects pool IMO.

Rogle just knows how to develop good players.

Every time he had the puck it seem he manage hold the puck a extra few second driving deeper in the zone to beat one guy. That fake shot pass to Smith was pretty impressive he sold it very well he had everyone committed to the shot…

 

[Rapala]

Idk, KH has a few more moves he has to make this summer concerning the excess of forwards. Probably won't be anything major, but there will be some action at least hehe

I would expect the action to pick up towards the end of camp when teams assess what they have and don't have. I can't see anybody wanting the players we want to move or dump before but you never know.
