Prospect Info: 2024 Montreal Canadiens Development Camp

[WeThreeKings]

The Thorpe pick already looks promising.

His shot was a problem and he doesn't seem to be able to turn the competitive fire off like Xhekaj.

 

[calder candidate]

A few guy look good but most of these guy will never sniff the NHL, or weren’t drafted. Can’t get too excited

 

[HuGo Sham]

Any measurements made on the kids for this camp?
Curious what Xhekaj new weight is

i think 195...ramage had great things to say about him yesterday and also mentioned he'll never be as big as Arber, who's a truck lol

You mean for others?

Correct

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

I was sure Florian would surprise a lot of people.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Florian is gonna be a problem!

 

[Habssince89]

Correct

Excellent. I think he's become my underdog prospect. I love his potential because he has size/athleticism, but he has at least one tool (shot/finishing) that stands out and he can build a game around. I read good things about his shot on EP so your comment confused me for a sec hah.

I don't expect him to become a star, but I think he could be a strong bottom six piece that provides secondary goalscoring.

Probably suprised the other prospects as well, like why is this ogre plastering me in dev camp and scoring goals too

If he can be a bottom 6 guy with the ability to pop in the occasional chance, that's a great pick where we took him. Really nice find by the team, looking forward to following him this year.

Tuch-Florian-Thorpe might be a nice playoff line.

I've always wanted the Habs to find a way to build a long-term bottom six line, with young players who are happy to cement their ticket to the show as important roleplayers. I hope the Habs get more intentional about the bottom six makeup.

Only 4 on 4 but Florian best player in this camp. Either him or Hage.

 

[Seb]

When's the rookie camp?

 

[Guy Larose]

Florian is gonna be a problem!

Funny, a lot of people here were saying he was drafted because he's the brother.

 

[Goldthorpe]

i think 195...

So he's barely bigger than Demidov?

It was Hage, but Florian was fantastic too. Guy is just violent for the sake of it. What I loved about Hage is they really played him physical at the end of the first game and he responded with like 3 points on the first 4 goals in the second, having dominant shifts one after the other. Guy has that McDavid hip stance when he skates. Love it.

It’s a Habs thing, he’ll fit right in!

 

[domiwroze]

Happy that Hage was dominating most of his shifts. Like I said to move up to make sure that you get a guy like Hage that drops a little was the right decision from Hughes. There was quite a drop in talent after the top 23rd-ish.

They did their work, crazy what competent management can accomplish when they actually do their job.

I was hoping for Hage at 26 but in retrospective he wouldn't have made it to that rank.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

That 2022 draft for the Habs could one day be considered their best ever.
Slaf
Mesar
Beck
Hutson
Engstrom

Of course there is the distinct possibility that some of these guys don't make it but as of right now this 2022 draft looks awfully promising longterm.

Agreed. I’m not sure why, but messe has always rubbed me the wrong way. Personally, I would package him for a top six forward( McGroarty).

 

[L4br3cqu3]

So, beside Zetterberg and Nadeau, any other try-out worth further attention ?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Matthew Biotti for me, big guy, decent passer, plays physical. Can't say if there's really anything solid there, but he's only 19, so there's a chance.

 

[Tyson]

Too early to write off Mesar. Let's see what he does at the big camp.

 

[Jaynki]

100% Agree.

I thought he distinguished himself, obviously not on the level of Hage and Xhekaj.

But he still managed to distinguish himself a lot more then the rest of the pack.
