I don't know if he was damaged goods when we got him but I wasn't impressed with his contribution last season.

Former first rounders don't all make it in the pros, he just doesn't have that extra quality to his game. He definitely won't be the first to fall flat and end up being happier in europe.

Bought some tickets to see them against Providence in early November. Can't wait to see the rooks playing (Beck, Reiny, Tuch, Florian, Mesar, Engstrom) to see how they adapt

Drove me crazy those last few games. I didn't want Vincent but I'm glad Houle is gone

Marcotte saying that the practices will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Place Bell community rink and will be open to the public.

I think they made silent cuts because the groups are split in 3, with Groups 2 and 3 being mostly guys destined for the AHL/ECHL. And maybe why they didn't make them official yet is because they want reserve the opportunity to have anyone in the line-up. I don't really know, I'm just guessing on that one.
But for what it's worth, I think after the game tonight or tomorrow, they will announce the cuts in one announcement.

I can't say I know Vincent much but the talk on him made me concerned but so far in the little i've heard he seems to say the right thing and I said many times how smart Hughes appears to be though I wasn't a fan of the decision to bring Houle back (not that I felt it was the worst move) so I'm going to be paying very close attention to Laval this year and look forward to see what he can do with the likes of Mesar, Farrell, Beck, Heineman, Reinbacher, Mailloux, Engstrom.

The new Laval coach... what's he like? Is he from the same classy mold as MSL and Hughes? If so, I totally agree with you. NOthing will happen to Pare.

Tourginy isn't it I think he's more new age which is good for our rookies bad for this instance

Gelinas was a decent vet for the first year Rocket. Went on an Euro tour (Slovakia when they had a KHL team, Sweden and Switzerland) and I guess he wants to come back closer to home. He's actually the only worthwhile invite from a Laval perspective if his play has not taken too much of a drop. He would still probably just be a depth option fighting with Jacobs and Sevigny for ice time.
Charles Savoie and Simon Motew are trying to get a pro deal instead of going to USports. Nijhoff, Cormier, Thomas and Paquette already have a TR deal but I assume they're aiming at an AHL deal. Not sure any of these guys should get an AHL deal unless they want more depth stashed in TR (and protected from poaching by other AHL teams).
From that current roster (of course, there's a few guys still up):
Farrell - Gignac - Mesar
Davidson - Dauphin - Perreault
Simoneau - Beck - Kidney
Tuch - Condotta - Xhekaj
Arseneau - Nijhoff - Novak
Mianscum - Cormier - Beaucage
Savoie
Wotherspoon - Jacobs
Engstrom - Gelinas
Trudeau- Sevigny
Jandric - Hayes
Thomas, Paquette, Motew
Hughes
Cavallin
Jones
ABB and/or Heineman pushes Mesar down. Mailloux/Reinbacher (if healthy) pushes the whole right side down. Dobes get starter spot.

No it won't. Unless FloHockey will have them and they opt to make them free to watch in order to try and get people to subscribe. Not sure.
Edit: they will be on FloHockey. Now it's just a question of if they will be a freeview or you still need to subscribe to it.
Edit #2: I just checked and I've been able to watch some of the preseason games that have already been played. I have a membership, but I'm not subscribed. So it looks like they will very likely be free to watch if you create a membership.
It MIGHT be on the radio also.

Cormier, Paquette & Thomas all on ECHL deals with 3R.
Savoie was an invite. Looks like he won't be signed to an AHL deal if he was among the first cuts. Curious if they will sign him to an ECHL deal or invite him to 3R's camp and see if he can earn a deal there.

IMO, he looked decent enough at the various camps to at least be a regular in TR. Depends on if he gets other offers I guess.
