kinot-1 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Canadiens’ first-round draft pick Michael McCarron took part in the off-ice testing Wednesday morning in Brossard at the start of the Habs’ annual development camp. “The feeling is awesome,” said McCarron, a 6-foot-5 1/2, 235-pound winger who spent the past two seasons with USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program. “I know this crest is just so known throughout hockey. When you think of hockey you think of the Canadiens, the most winningest team. It’s nuts. I can’t believe I’m part of it. And I’ll certainly wear it proud.” As a big guy, McCarron said he thinks he still needs to work on his quickness and consistency. “Being ready to play every night. Some nights I’m good and some nights I’m average. When you’re up here you need to be good every night.” McCarron hasn’t decided where he’ll play next season. He has signed a letter of intent with the Western Michigan Broncos. The London Knights in the Ontario Hockey League hold his Canadian Hockey League rights. “I still have to talk to the staff here to see what they think is best for me. I still haven’t made my decision,” McCarron told reporters. He should make his decision in the next week and it’s going to be a tough one for him, he said. Leblanc, who suffered a high ankle sprain, had a disappointing season with the Hamilton Bulldogs, the Canadiens’ farm team. Asked what they want to see more of from Leblanc, Martin Lapointe, the Canadiens’ director of player development, said being injured set back the 22-year-old forward a bit. “This year’s a new year. I’ve been talking to Louis a lot…I think for him it’s just having a fresh start. He did his tests today. He tested really well. He’s a kid that works hard.” “I’m not worried about Louis bouncing back,” Lapointe said. “He’s a good kid that works hard.” The first on-ice session will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. and is open to the public.

KeepsItReal Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm really excited to see what Leblanc does this season, last year was brutal by all accounts...but the year before that he was having a pretty darn good rookie campaign in the AHL and didn't look entirely out of place playing on an awful NHL squad. He's the forgotten man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the forgotten man. Agreed. He has decent size, great speed and in the small sampling ive seen of him his hockey sense is solid. Last year he had that horrible injury (ankle) and never seemed to fully recover (some believe he came back too soon) but if we believe his minor league coaches & trainers etc, he's working hard to get back to his pre-injury form.

The thing I like about Leblanc, is that with the way he plays...if it turns out he doesn't have the offensive flair for a top 9 role he could be a great 3rd line guy, if he wants it. Not syaing he can't top out as a top 6 guy, but it's not boom or bust for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not syaing he can't top out as a top 6 guy, but it's not boom or bust for him. I would agree. Its why a 2 way player tends to be less risky (lower ceiling, mind you) because Leblanc, like an Eller etc, is most likely a sure thing to be an NHL player, the question is: what kind of NHL player?

THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Stefan Fournier has been signed to a three year entry level contract. He was a tryout at this camp. He's 21, and was the captain of the Halifax Mooseheads and had 72 points and 66 games. He's 6'3 for those wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBIGGESTHABSFAN123 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Not surprised by the signing. Big boy. Quebec boy. Captain of memorial cup winning team, how much more character do you want? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
