Good read. I've never seen him play so hard to judge him. Hopefully he can impress come training camp next year.

 

[bopeep]

He certainly has been picking up some points, scoring some timely goals while in Laval

 

[cphabs]

Flipper has been awesome!

 

[Roadhouse]

Allez Laurent!!!!

 

[montreal]

If Tatar is out for the Florida trip I could see Dauphin getting the call.

[Jee]

[Dutronc]

I dont think he's gonna make a Danault of himself but I see some upside in his game..
Loved him with the Sags!

Canadien: un retour au bercail bienvenu pour Laurent Dauphin

“Scott Mellanby called me first. After I talked with Joel Bouchard and we had a great discussion. He told me we'll be working together and he'll be to helping me. For my part, I told him I was super excited to work with him.”

“I spend my summers in Quebec. I've an apartment with my girlfriend in dtown Montreal, so I can live there. I heard that the guys who live dtown go to the arena by subway, so I wanted to do it too.”

“It's a pride to play with the Canadiens org.”

“For sure I was thinking about the possibility about being drafted by the Canadiens… When it was their turn to talk, I became stressed. Finally it wasn’t like that, and it was okay with the Coyotes. I played games with them, I had a lot of fun… It’s funny because I’m quite close to Jonathan Drouin, we were talking on the phone when the transaction happened. My DG sent me a message and I said to Jonathan, wait, it’s my DG calling. And the call was to tell me that I was being traded to Montreal!”

“I thought I was going to stay in the NHL. Then it happened what happened. I had a big injury (kneecap) two years ago, it kinda slowed me down. But things are going really well and I think that working with Joel things will be fine for me... I'm a center that does well with my two way style. I take a lot of pride in my game as a penalty killer. That's gonna makes me an NHL'er. I can also bring offense with the Rocket. I’m really focused on restarting my career in Laval. Then, if it happens with the Canadiens, it'd be great.”

Allez Laurent!!!!

Classic movie and comic. The rhinoceros scene in the second one was hilarious.

He could give Jake Evans a run for his moneu for the 4c spot.

And Jake Evans himself could bump a fringe top 9 winger to the 4th line wing, if he can produce.

I don't know Dauphin enough to judge him. Good for him if he can carve himself a career at NHL level...

But how come Nashville org can develop McCarron while Habs were unable to do it ? Is it the player's fault or Habs' fault ? Nashville were able to make Tinordi a NHL level player and they are about to do the same with McCarron.

in the mean time, Habs are unable to ice a big team.

How has Nashville “developed” Mccarron exactly? Because he got a few points in a few games? Mccarron is NOT an nhler. He’s barely an ahler.

McCarron was trending well under Bouchard before injuries hit. Also 14 points in 29 games and 13 points in 27 games are not really different so I don't see the huge development.

I've loathed the Habs development under MB, but what? Tinordi is on his 3rd NHL organization since he left Montreal. McCarron put up 13 pts in the AHL?

Tinordi is an NHL level player?

McCarron?

These are not examples of players having success outside the organization

How’s McCarron doing? I’m a 6’6” hockey player too so I’ve been excited to see his progression.

How is this true, he has been .5 ppg in the AHL.

also, maybe if he didn’t get injured, fight all the time and have a bad temper he would be a 3c in the NHL. IMO

At first I wasn't happy with the trade but clearly something fell apart between McCarron and Bouchard as they both seemed happy with one another in their first year together before his season ending injury where he was playing his best hockey at least since his rookie year.

Dauphin isn't flashy but he worked hard and actually did better with us then he did with the Ads despite them being the best team in the AHL. Maybe it ends up being one of those trades where the player getting traded either wakes up that this could be his last chance or just ends up in a better fit as Bouchard was clearly a fan and I could see Julien being one as well.

Though I wish MB would stop getting players from that crappy 2013 draft. We have either drafted, traded or signed, 14 players from that draft, 10 of which were from the first 55 picks of the draft. I'm not really being serious here as I doubt it was done by design but just felt like pointing it out.

McCarron, not as of now. I actually already replied to the post you quoted saying his production was the same except he got hot for goals.

Tinordi played 28 games for the Preds (and 7 for Arizona) while Scott played 1. From what I gathered, he might be a decent #7 for them. It's a far cry from well developed too.

Minor addition to your post... Victor Bartley also played 9 games for the Habs (Tinordi Trade).

That said, I still don't think a guy who had 28 games this year is any great example of him developing. Could have just been injuries in Nashville and lack of depth. I mean Dale Weise played 23 games this year and I don't consider him an NHL quality player (not the 2020 version of Dale Weise anyways)
