Laval Rocket: 2024-25 Laval Rocket Thread
- Thread starter Adam Michaels
- Start date
What’s up with Farrel? I know there is no hope anymore for him being a potential NhL player but no offensive production in the AHL? I’m a bit surprised how bad the trend is for him..
Vincent likes his effort and is sure points will come. Praised his work ethic.

Il faut descendre tout en bas de la liste des marqueurs de l’équipe pour trouver le nom de Sean Farrell, sans point après huit matchs.

Weirdly enough, I think Roy starting the season in Laval kinda hurt him, he would probably have been playing with ABB and it would have helped pad his stats a bit.
An option we could try if there are no trades and we want Mailloux to learnb in the NHL is:
- Hutson-Savard
- Matheson-Struble
- Guhle-Mailloux
- Barron 7th.
With that 6 man rtotation, don't play anyone more than 22 minutes or less than 16 minutes. Everyone needs to learn on the job.
If we shorten the bench when behind late, play Savard and Struble a bit less.
If shortening with a late lead, play Hutson and Mailloux a bit less.

Getting a few games in Laval would be good for him, but Arber would 100% get claimed before he gets there, outside of some miracle.

So this could be a good idea, drops Matheson's ice time, plays Guhle on the left, and allows Mailloux to learn at the top level. Xhekaj can come back when Savard is traded or earlier if Mailloux doesn't improve defensively.
The one guy that is glossed over is Adam Engstrom who i believe should not be called up this season. He is averaging 21 minutes of ice time. In 11 games he has been on the ice for only 5 goals against.
His skating is elite and his ability to skate with the puck is impressive. How this kid slipped to #92 is somewhat shocking. Habs may have finally scouted and drafted a solid Swedish prospect. I will ruffle some feathers but I think he is as good or better of a prospect than Mailloux.

I hope they don't rush him, he needs to add more strength and mass, so far so good though.

Haven't watched any games but is Sean Farrell this bad? I had high hopes for him with his NCAA numbers.

the entire offense has struggled outside of Roy and ABB plus Beck and Mailloux, if those guys don't create offense, not many others seem to be able to right now. I said last year he won't make it until he gets quicker, stronger. It looks like he's made some progress on that somewhat but he mostly has done nothing out there. Just has to keep working at it, the points will come as his offense skill and IQ just didn't go away. He was one of the top 2 or 3 players in the NCAA in his last year for a reason but he's small not fast or strong or a great skater and that is going to be tough to overcome for anyone.
But there's no harm in any prospect taking years to get there, before the salary cap era that was common place.

Way back in an Olympic year there was a team that had no chance in hell of winning any games against us or any top team.
Except they didn't accept that.
They played like demons despite their lack of talent and we just barely won against them. THAT solidified my thinking that crazy wolf pack mentality can make up a lot for lack of talent.
Laval has it...SmartyMarty team doesn't.

Vincent's approach to the wolfpack mentality is successful. Marty's wolfpack mentality that he's talked about for the Habs isn't.
Although it's easier to have a wolfpack mentality when you have guys like Tuch, Florian, Condotta, Arseneau, Simoneau, Wotherspoon, and Hayes help.
Can't wait for Tuch, Florian, and Thorpe come along to Montreal to give the depth players an identity.
Davidson and Mesar were both doing well.
If there’s a numbers crunch at any point, I’m almost certain he ends up in TR. He’s invisible. He was decent last year as a rookie but hasn’t built on that at all.

Things are obviously going absolutely great for Laval. But the even more positive in all of this are the prospects looking real good throughout this season so far.
The current pace they're on:
- Logan Mailloux on pace for 115 pts (38G, 77A) in 67 GP
- Joshua Roy on pace for 78 pts (42G, 36A) in 72 GP
- Owen Beck on pace for 66 pts (18G, 48A) in in 72 GP
- Jared Davidson on pace for 46 pts (31G, 15A) in 69 GP
- Luke Tuch on pace for 36 pts (24G, 12A) in 72 GP
- Adam Engstrom on pace for 30 pts (6G, 24A) in 72 GP
and Filip Mesar was a PPG player before he went down with an injury.
It doesn't mean they will keep up this pace. But they've played 12 games so far, and these prospects have been consistent with their production.

Winning 10 of 12 has made their environment pleasant I am sure!
One signing not talked about very much is Vincent Arseneau who is great to have to keep other teams in check.

Not only that, honestly he's not a bad player at all, his hockey sense is higher than what I expected at first.
