kinot-2 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 4 hours ago, HabsRuleForever said: Starts on September 14th. The Montreal Canadiens have announced the group that will attend rookie camp and play three games in Buffalo at the 2022 Prospect Challenge. First overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky leads a group of 15 forwards that include players on professional contracts or in the CHL. NCAA-based players and players who are playing in Europe but not under NHL contracts are not attending. The forward group includes Owen Beck, Lucas Condotta, Jared Davidson, Pierrick Dubé, Ryan Francis, Cédrick Guindon, Emil Heineman, Riley Kidney, Filip Mesar, Jan Mysak, John Parker-Jones, Joshua Roy, Xavier Simoneau, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Brett Stapley. There are 10 defencemen attending camp, including 2021 first-round pick Logan Mailloux, who is recovering from surgery. Justin Barron, whose season also ended with an injury, is one of the most experienced professional players in camp, alongside Mattias Norlinder. The full group is Justin Barron, Santino Centorame, Gianni Fairbrother, Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, Logan Mailloux, Mattias Norlinder, Miguël Tourigny, William Trudeau, and Arber Xhekaj. In goal, Joe Vrbetic is the lone player drafted by the Canadiens attending, alongside tryouts Antoine Coulombe, and Riley Mercer. Vrbetic has signed an AHL contract with the Laval Rocket for this upcoming season, and could see time there and in the ECHL. The Canadiens have games September 15, 16, and 18 before returning to Montreal for two additional practices before the NHL training camp opens.

maas_art Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 While not at rookie camp, (NCAA) Lane Hutson, the Canadiens' second-round pick, who was listed at 5'8" at the NHL Draft and Development Camp is up to 5'9" per Boston University. Its going to be interesting to see where he finishes at. I think there's a chance he'll end up 5'10 or even 5'11". Still undersized for a dman but he's already as tall as Spurgeon and closing in on hughes and makar heights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty good at the height he is now any extra is great! if he could get an inch or two more on his frame and keep his speed we will be in for a treat!

Pre-draft I wanted him no matter what, but I thought it was interesting to hear that he brought a doctor's note to the combine that said he has a condition that makes him grow later. His brother apparently grew several inches in his late teens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's already proven he's an NHL defensman - at least a #4/5. Can he be more? I hope so. A #3 in a pinch, probably can handle time on the top pair if there's injuries. Reminds me a lot of Craig Rivet/Josh Gorges - but a better skater. We've had a lot of LD prospects for a while but he's always been one of my favourites.

maas_art Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Slaf listed as 6'4" 238lbs at rookie camp. Wow. AT 18 years old? How big is he going to end up? In his own words: "I want to dominate [at rookie camp], I want to be the best player and help my team win. Yes, it's only the first game, but every game becomes an opportunity to show what I can accomplish. I will do my best and we will see." Hard not to get pumped about this kid.

electron58 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Arbor Xhekaj, is skating well & defending well. Laying out some good hits, too. I still think he will be part of the Habs, sooner than later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he'll make the team but it's a nice asset to have in the system for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
