Prospect Info: 2024 Montreal Canadiens Development Camp

[Seb]

Our new players are big boys. Loving it.

 

[Whitesnake]

Protz is learning...lol. Eriksson is fun to watch.

Nadeau doing what Nadeau does.

Hage and Zberg are rather quiet.

 

[overlords]

Beck playing like a big boy

 

[Beaker]

Xhekaj looks good

 

[Whitesnake]

Ride could help a AHL team at one point.

 

[Draft]

Florian put in a lot of effort on his footwork and it's really paying off. He's skating much better than he was at the same time last year, better posture and much better leg extension on his strides.

Thought the same thing. Depending on the player, those can be tough adjustments to make so kudos to him for putting in the work.

It’s exactly what he needs to do to get his opportunity at the next level so that’s pretty exciting.

 

[overlords]

florian is straight up bullying people

 

[Canadienna]

Xhekaj and Beck not besties lol

 

[Seb]

Huge props to the PBP guy who is able to remember everyone's name.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Pretty darn happy with what I'm seeing from Thorpe and Merrill. As raw as they are, they're not looking out of place in a very fast paced session. Both are gigantic looking too.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't know who the pxp guy is, but he's real good. Switches from French to English seamlessly.

 

[Whitesnake]

What's the deal with calling Michael Hage...MIKAEL AGE?

 

[Redux91]

Bah
Just tuned in
Break?

 

[MarkJ]

What's the deal with calling Michael Hage...MIKAEL AGE?

Can't wait for TVA Sport's Félix Séguin's pronunciations.

Man Florian is just a different beast. They need to tap into the Xhekaj DNA because these kids are absolute animals. They both could've have made easy money going to NFL linebacker/edge rusher routes. So big, so fast, so strong, so agressive.

What's the deal with calling Michael Hage...MIKAEL AGE?

No back of the throat/mouth H sound in French. Tough letter for them to pronounce

 

[Adam Michaels]

This might be a stupid question. Is Mesar not at camp?

Some of the prospects who are in Europe for their off-season training were left there. Not all of them obviously as Eriksson and Bergqvist are at the camp. But for most of the Euro prospects, the organization decided they didn't want to have them come over for a week and go back. They let them focus on their training and come over for the rookie camp. That's why you don't have Mesar, Engstrom, Reinbacher, and Koivu.

 

[Whitesnake]

Can't wait for TVA Sport's Félix Séguin's pronunciations.

Can't wait till TVA Sports stops presenting the games so I wouldn't have to listen to Séguin's and Lavoie anymore...

He still has a bulky frame, but he does look in much better shape . He was in the 225 range when he got drafted, which is way too heavy for a goalie .

He weighed in at 219 at the development camp. The 219 was probably not just losing weight but also getting in better shape.

Xhekaj and Tuch are going to be two very intriguing prospects in Laval this season. Both of them big, physical, make opponents uncomfortable. And both have shown they have an offensive side.

I don't know why, but a Xhekaj - Condotta - Tuch line could be one of those lines who make life hell for the opponents.

 

[Whitesnake]

So based on this period....Zetterberg is not going to have a contract but....geez...could Josh Nadeau?

Both going the NCAA route, neither will get a contract.

Agreed - and Sawyer caught my eye as well.

They play college hockey so they can't sign a contract unless they turn pro.
