Too bad we didn't get to see what Olofsson could do last year....I have a feeling he could potentially be in the mix if he can stay healthy.
Ouellet, Olofsson, Leskinen, Fleury, Brook, Lernout...not sure if i'm forgetting anyone else.I looked at Olofsson almost like Kulak. Acquired while in AHL and Habs ensuring they had defensemen in Laval available for call ups that had real NHL experience. We saw how Kulak turned out. Unfortunately, Olofsson's injury kept him out all year. But if he remains healthy, he is an asset that may potentially be another Kulak.
They will have that this year with Ouellet and Olofsson in Laval.

But I doubt we're going to see Karl Alzner back with the Habs/Laval organization again.
Good luck to him, he's suffered 4 major shoulder injuries in his short NHL career: Confirmed with Link: - Montreal Canadiens Acquire Gustav Olofsson from Minnesota for Will Bitten
Hoping this is the year he makes it through staying healthy.
Well considering there is only 6 defenseman on the roster...Good signing, is he finally healthy ? I really had top 6 hope for him

Good. He was acquired as a player with NHL potential. Hopefully he can stay healthy and push Ouellet and Alzner down the depth chart.
We say this every yearLaval is going to be good.
First time I personally say it.We say this every year
With Bouchard and decent prospects you may be right that finally the Habs AHL team may be competitiveFirst time I personally say it.
We say this every year
Terrific prospect pool and of course they need to surround those kids with solid AHL Veterans to help them alongFor now it looks like Laval will add:
Poehling, Suzuki, Teasdale, Brook, Primeau and Leskinen….i kind of agree that Laval SHOULD be better this year.
I believe Ouellet is going to play on the right side. Sklenicka seems to be an odd man out unless Leskinen proves unable to secure a spot in the lineup.With Olofson signed and Leskinen and Scelinka,one would think that some moves have to happen. Getting crowded in Laval on LD.
Its also worth noting that Laval's forward depth as depleted with call ups/trades from the Habs. Guys like Chaput, Froese and Agostino were suppose to be leaders but all were moved without anyone replacing them. With McCarron getting hurt and Hunter Shinkaruk's game falling off a cliff, the number of close games Laval was in impressed me.We say this every year

Okay….
So in Laval it will be so far there's :
Ouellet, Leskinen, Olofsson and Sklenicka as Left D signed for next year…..
That's a lot of left D.....where does Alzner fit?
Think this mean Alzner won't be there, so it must mean they are thinking about ending his contract.
Highly unlikely Poehling will be in Laval. He is ready and this narrative that offensive skill can be developed in the AHL is nonsense.
