Few days late on that.
Confirmed with Link: - Joe Vrbetic Signed to 1-Year AHL Deal
Joe Vrbetic signed a deal with Laval, or an AHL deal. Odd he isn't going back into the O for another season

Yeah, it's the dark mode, I see it like you and if I switch to light mode, it's fine

The bolded 13 are absolute locks, and that's without considering we have 15 in MTL right now and I'd much rather see Slaf in Laval. Also means Mesar in Kitchener.
Sure they may be locks for the Laval roster, but not many deserve a spot in the starting lineup every game. Between injuries in both Montreal and Laval they will get their chance.

Which of those specifically should not be starting every night?
The only one I could make an argument for due to being unproven is Mysak, and that's not a way to develop your prospects.
There's no Smith-Pelley or Baddock in that list. Maybe no AHL all-stars, but very deep.

Stephens played in the NHL last year. He's not sitting on an AHL bench.
Schnarr is a 6'3 C with 0.5 PPG in the AHL and still 23 y/o.
Richard, like Schnarr, is a 0.5 PPG AHL vet and was over a PPG in last year's playoffs.
The only one who I could absolutely see fall flat on his face is Poirier, but even then that's still 12 regulars without Slaf.

Poirier is on a 2-way AHL deal. So he will be in 3R if he doesn't land a spot in Laval.
I think the centers to start will be:
Anthony Richard
Nate Schnarr
Jan Mysak

Isn't Stephens a C as well?
Slaf/RHP - Stephens - Ylonen
Heineman - Richard - Belzile
Gignac - Schnarr - Martel
Teasdale - Mysak - Bourque
Poirier, Condotta

did you take the survey that the AHL sent out today, from the people that fill it out, they are going to pick 5 and give him a free full regular season and playoff package. I filled it out, took a minute or two.

Not me. I'm thinking maybe you sabotaged it do I don't get one. So you have one less person to go up against to be one of the 5.

If you rebuild, they will come.

When all is said and done, you might actually have Ylonen or RHP in Montreal.

Houle and his staff will sure have a lot of options to build the opening day roster. Finding a way to best use and surround the better prospects will be key.
Still feel they are missing that top end scorer that can give you around a PPG that you need to go far in the AHL.

There's a possibility of a Byron going down on waivers at one point. He could help Laval a lot.

I'm not a huge Houle fan, but they went far in the playoffs so I'm not as worried about that next season. Development of the incoming prospects is the biggest thing for the future of the Habs, so this is where they need to do everything right or as close to it as they can. So to me am I worried about going far in the playoffs, not so much, do they need to make the playoffs, for sure. But the bigger picture is how do they handle these prospects and how does it go for them.

Only way Byron goes to Laval is for a game or two for a conditioning stint. I see Byron retiring before he accepts to go to the AHL to stay there.
Also, If Byron is good to go, it is in the Habs' best interest to have him in the NHL to help his value for the TDL.
