Good. He’s a decent player that gives a strong effort every night.

 

[David Suzuki]

Reminds me a lot of Gallagher in terms of how he plays the game and even how he skates sometimes lol

He doesn't have the offensive upside of Gallagher at all but I can see him easily being an energy guy down the line who can play up in the lineup if needed.

Just noticed he wears number 11 too

As expected.

Leguerrier, Ikonen and Rucheinski are the remaining prospects that need to be signed by June 1st.

 

[Whitesnake]

So well deserved. Awesome 1st year.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not a surprise. Well deserved. He had a solid 1st season in Laval.

 

[BLONG7]

Seemed to have a great year in Laval!!
Good news!

As expected.

Honestly even though he has a lot of talent, ikonen seems like someone who will never stay healthy. If they choose not to resign him, I wouldn't be disappointed

Ruscheinski? Not before 2024. Anyway, even if it's 2050, it won't happen.

Tried to remain hopeful for Ikonen, but glad this guy got the contract.

 

[Treb]

Ruscheinski? Not before 2024. Anyway, even if it's 2050, it won't happen.

CapFriendly has him this year. It is likely because he is not committed to the NCAA yet.

 

[Tuggy]

0 PIM's in 32 games this season. Not sure Gallagher is good comparable

Pretty much this. If he ends up committing to the NCAA, then Habs can retain his rights for a few years.

Similar to how they were able to retain Henrikson's rights. Because he committed to an NCAA team.

 

[beowulf]

Laval needs players and his energy will be good for the team.

 

[JianYang]

Lavalagher

LOL

Thread is complete.

They were going to sign him, he deserves it, he has a great season in Laval......but the timing is soooooooooooooo the Montreal Canadiens trying to do some damage control on the shit storm created by the lasck of Quebecers with the Habs.

 

[Archijerej]

Good. This kid has a chance to be a player.

 

[David Suzuki]

I think this is reaching big time. I doubt the average person whining about Quebec players know who RHP is lol + the AHL season is basically over now.

It’s not, he's reaching.

RHP could be a decent option with Teasdale in the future for the 4th line. Vejdemo should get first crack next year but the other two will have a chance after.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Surprised he didn't get signed earlier.. would have been better than using Belzile

 

[Milhouse40]

It's 24 hours after the prime minister told in the medias at a press conference that the Habs need to do have more Quebecers.
That's all the medias are talking about for the last 48 hours, even more than the fact that they made the PO for the first time in 4 years.

I have no doutb they were going to sign him anyway, but the timing is not just a coincidence.

The point though is that the average person whining about that doesn't care that the Habs signed RHP because they have no idea who that is and don't pay attention to the Habs minor league team.

Of course, but it's like an answer to the medias.....
