Laval still has 8D: Engstrom, Mailloux, Trudeau, Lindstrom, Hayes, Wortherspoon, Jacobs, and Jandric.

Jandric was mostly with 3R last year after Laval acquired him for Laaouan. So it's likely he will also be sent down to 3R and Laval goes with 7D. Of course, there's no roster limit in the AHL, so Laval could go with 8D.

If ABB was down there, I’d probably pay for the subscription, but that forward group is just looking iffy to me. We’re basically counting on Farrel, Mesar and Roy to do really well, with Florian and Tuch to also do well. I’m very wary of that. No Reinbacher on the back end for most of the year as well? I’m not as optimistic as I was.

And Beck?!

Forgot. Thx. Again though, another young guy to throw in the mix.

Laval has 8 D right now and Trois-Rivieres 6 under contract with either TR or Laval, plus three on tryouts.

Not counting the tryouts, TR has 22 players now in camp. If Jandric gets added, they will have 23, which is two over the limit of 21 (though one extra is allowed in October).

ECHL teams usually dress 6 D, 11 F and 2 G to make up the total allowed of 19, and carry one extra D and one extra F on the active roster. It will be interesting to see who TR cuts.

Excellent addition.

Excellent addition.

Yeah I agree. It's clear how it's going to go with the pairing.

Wotherspoon-Mailloux
Engstrom-Lindstrom
Trudeau-Hayes/Jacobs

Three young offense oriented guys with a stay at home veteran is the perfect setup you want on defense.

Didn't even think of the positive effect Lindstrom can have our our young Swede Dman.

Laval opens the season tonight against Providence. Game is at 7PM ET. I didn't start a game thread because I won't be subscribing to FloHockey and I know others feel the same way. I don't want to start one if I won't be watching. @Tyson is more than welcome to start one if he prefers to. Personally, I will be starting GDT's when they have home games and the games are on RDS.

I will be watching so I will be setting up a GDT. I never do anything fancy but I will set one up @Adam Michaels

Too good to hang out with us in the CF Montreal thread anymore, too good to hang out with us in the Rocket thread now. You used to be cool man

Oh wow. I didn’t read it properly at first. I thought he got the A, not the C. I figured a vet like Gignac would get it. Oh well. Good for Condotta. Always liked his play. I felt he’d make a good 4th liner on the Habs.

Is flohockey the only place to buy a subscription to Laval? I miss the days of team passes. Flo is way overpriced for what I want. Especially with the stupid 1 IP address rule. So if I'm at work and want to toss on the game - my dad can't watch the game. Don't really want to give them my money for poor service.

Too cheap to afford those insane MLS Season Pass and now FloHockey subscriptions. I knew I was going to lose touch with CFMTL and I'm afraid I'll lose a bit of touch with Laval. The saving grace is that every home game will be on RDS.

I know. AHL TV team-only subscriptions were the best. Unfortunately, FloHockey is the only place to watch AHL hockey and they don't have team-only subscriptions. In fact, you're not only paying for AHL. You're paying fo ECHL, BCHL, USHL, Atlantic Hockey and CCHA conferences of the NCAA (two most boring conferences), and now the SHL. Basically a whole other bunch of leagues not making it worth paying the insane price.

I would be totally content with the $20 a month if I could watch from two places... but the one IP is really bad. And If you don't want to waste basically 3 months of a subscription, you have to pay monthly... and it jumps from $17 to $40? That's wilddddd.

I don't like finding alternative methods, but man. I remember the good old days being able to "rent" a single game and watch. I did it for the Calder Cup playoff run and it was awesome. I think it was like $5 a game and you could watch the ones you could fit in. That was great.
