Roaring 1 goal in 3 games start?

Oh. Right.

I forget how funny these boards are sometimes.

My bad.

What kind of player can Rohrer become in the NHL if he hits his potential?

I haven't paid attention to him at all.

Lehkonen style.. tenacious hockey player, more of a straight line skill than an east-west skill. High motor, 3 zone player.

Less physical version of Lehkonen from what I have seen. But I get the comparison on the forecheck and the dynamic offensive skills

Rohrer playing under 10 minutes is concerning for his development. You need to touch the puck at such a young age… wouf…

So far in this young season, playing less than 10 minutes is an outlier. He's been playing between 12-14 minutes a game before yesterday. He's been in their Top-6 almost every game.

We'll see if it's a one-game thing or if it will become his usual TOI.

There is also the possibility he just didn't finish the game because maybe he got hurt.

Context matters thank Adam.

I’ll keep an eye on it for sure, I wasn’t sure what to think about the move initially, hoping he didn’t bite off more than he could chew by going pro right away.

he's in a league that isn't known for having many U-20 players.

It's joever for Rohrer, he doesn't have it.

Let us also not forget these leagues are not development leagues. They want to win every game, so if a young guy is having a rough night they don t hesitate to bench him and to play him top 6 again next game as if nothing happened.

I know many NA fans regard those leagues with disdain but they are pro leagues nonetheless and are not that much more weak than the AHL. Look at Seider or Kulich production when they jumped from their national leagues to AHL, they actually got a better PPG in the AHL.

 

[montreal]

a nice start to the season with 3 points, since he's not playing a ton. I wonder what the plan is for him, if he will be loaned for the WJC's. Might not be worth it since they got regulated to Div 1A (Denmark, France, Japan, Hungary, Kazakhstan) It's being held in Budapest on 12-10/12-16.

Basu Godin notebook

Arpon visited with Rohrer, his coach (Marc Crawford) and his strength and conditioning coach in Zurich.

Rohrer has been super dedicated in the gym and the org is marveled at his determination and he's made massive strides in getting thicker and stronger.

Marc Crawford thinks after his two year contract in Zurich is up that he'll spend one year in Laval and then likely make the NHL.

He likens his game, a blend of grit and skill to David Perron. He's very impressed with the kid.

Biggest surprise for me reading this is that Marc Crawford is still coaching! LOL. I'm a former-Vancouverite and know him well from his Canuck days. Glad to see Rohrer is making strides. He's like the forgotten draft pick it seems.

That's because he moved back to Europe in a league few people follow and wasn't a "controversial" 1st round choice.

 

[jfm133]

Remember that Rohrer is like Jayden Struble, born in September just before the cutoff date to go in the next year draft. So he is a very young 19 years old. He is just six weeks older than Reinbacher. Important. Roy is a similar case.

 

[gusfring]

He should have stayed with Ottawa.

 

[WeThreeKings]

He should have stayed with Ottawa.

Why? This gives him more opportunity to develop physically. He's in state of the art facilities. He's playing with a coach who has a development plan for him and it gives the Habs an extra year of development before they have to make a contract decision on signing him.

I think it was two extra years, his rights ends in 2026 according to CapFriendly.

And it was a genius move, since he was so young and needed more development time since he started to play hockey so later (around 14 if I remember correctly, he was a competitive tennis player before that).

Yeah it's actually an excellent move for him.

My only guess for anyone who thinks its bad is they just wanna hockeydb scout and he'd get more points in the OHL.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I got to see him a fair bit when he was with the 67's and l've always been very high on his pro potential. Lehkonen is actually who he's always reminded me of, but I guess Perron isn't a bad style comparison either. The ''play anywhere in the top 9 swiss knife'' type is what he is to me, he plays a way heavier game than you'd expect just looking at him, a la Lehkonen.

They were surprised by how much muscle he packed onto his frame. That will help him immensely cause he does have that dogged Lehkonen/Gallagher mentality

Kid is playing in the best team in Swiss league with tough competition for the roster spot and is progressing really good. If there is a big progress next season, he'll surely get his chance with Habs.

 

[windycity]

I totally forgot about him, nice to hear he's progressing

He's playing National League, not Swiss League which would be the 2nd tier league. He's doing very well indeed though. Scoring quite a bit despite not getting much PP time. Scored 9 of 11 points at even strength. Listed as 13th forward most nights but his ice time doesn't really reflect that. Playing almost 12mins per game at even strength which is good for 7th among forwards of his team and is quite impressive for a forward of his age playing on a, as you said, very deep team with almost unlimited money to spend in a league that is the exact opposite of a development league.
