Laval Rocket: 2023-24 Laval Rocket Thread

[Treb]

An unsigned AHL player might be interesting for Laval: Alex Beaucage from the COL org. Big RW. Only 22 years old.

I'd take him on a AHL deal to start in TR.

Do we get a head coach in Laval this week?

I do think so

Bisson signed by Tampa Bay (assume this is for Springfield) and Galipeau headed to Germany.

Big numbers with Laval but would either have helped in Montreal?

No.

Both would have been nice for Laval, but they have no NHL future.

Wotherspoon and Jacobs are just as good or better.

I think I have signed him in every single NHL franchise mode I have ever done since he was like 19. He was never signed by the Avs and was always a top 9 potential and Quebecois so had to do it. Never amounted to anything but I kept trying.

 

[Vachon23]

Alex Beaucage will always be special personally for that reason

You called it, good job bud He might be more of a TR option , but he's got AHL experience, so he could go up and down throughout the season.

You asked for Beaucage the other day. You got him!

And he comes from Trois-Rivieres, played all his minor hockey here. His father works there as well.

Natural fit for Laval/TR.

 

[1909]

A minor league guy for sure. But any team needs that kind of players. It's only a 1 season contract. Nothing to lose. Could play in Laval or TR, his hometown.

Riley McKay signed an AHL deal with the Henderson Silver Knights.

John Parker-Jones signed an AHL deal with the Ontario Reign.

Alex-Olivier Voyer signed in Slovakia with HC Banska Bystrica.

Lindstrom, Keeper, Norlinder, Maillet, Bourque and Kaskisuo are the remaining guys who are currently unsigned who played for last year team.

Mallet was decent. I did like KK. The rest….bye bye. Especially Bourque, Norlinder and Keeper. They were terrible.

Definitely a TR guy. Weirdly enough, a few years back he was considered a legit prospect. Wonder what happened to him.

Yeah looks like the TR guy who can be called up to the AHL. Hughes is the AHL guy to mentor Dobes and take the NHL call-up if there's an injury. I'm sure they want to leave Dobes alone in the AHL all year. Next season would make sense for him to get some NHL games especially since it will be time to transition in Fowler.

The problem is if Volokhin is brought over as Miller need to be signed next year and Fowler should be too.

That would be 4 goalies with no vets.

 

[Vachon23]

Volokhin can stay in the KHL next year

Probably wouldn't be in the KHL with how stacked his team is at the goalie position, but the longer he stays, the more dangerous it becomes that he signs a multi-year deal.

Berdin
Proskuryakov

Sokhatsky
Nosov
Zavragin

Volokhin
Fudymovsky
Radkov

I would’t mind at all that he sign a multi year contract in the KHL. Sorokin and Shestorkin stayed more then 4 years in Russia after being drafted and it help their development and we can concentrate on Dobes/Fowler and the others with Laval

But what if it's longer than that?

Then you get an older goalie less malleable to your goalie coaches.

I honestly trust more the Russian development for goalie then our development staff. They are the best in that department

I guess, but I am still unsure about letting him simmer too long there. We'll see what the future holds.
