[ghost85875]

AHL signing.

 

[crazyd74]

Nice signing.

 

[MaynardJames]

Very good pick up for Laval, his hometown.

 

[Natey]

I like these younger AHL signings who has had small tastes of the NHL. They will always push because they think they can get back there.

 

[montreal]

good pickup for Laval, with him Belzile, etc.. they should be a playoff team for sure imo.

 

[frapp10]

Weal replacement

 

[1909]

Good signing for Laval.

 

[Archijerej]

Laval's #1C?

 

[BozoTheClown]

Good signing.
He's from Laval where he is most likely to play. He'll have a few games in Montreal.

Centres on the Canadiens are;
Suzuki
Kotkaniemi
Paquette
Evans
Poehling
Dea

 

[Kimota]

I would not be shocked to see him play with the Habs as well.

Luchini and Blandisi are UFA, right ? Any chance they come back ?

I doubt Blandisi will be back, no room for him. Luchini was re-signed to an AHL contract so he should be on Laval's 4th line.

Blandisi is the better of the two players but has veteran status I believe.

It seems like going forward, Laval will host the Habs top prospects, and the rest of the squad plus Trois-Rivieres in the ECHL will consist mainly of local players happy to play in Quebec.
