Player Discussion Alexandre Carrier

[crosbyshow]

damn, the mayor was his coach. who was the the ref - the chief of police?

He is mayor since 2009...a very good one btw.

He was his coach 2 years before that.

A scouting report on Carrier:

2023-24 Trade Bait: Alexandre Carrier

An under-the-radar RD option to get you over the hump

[Habano]

The left side doesn't need Matheson, Guhle/Hutson/Xhekaj is a good left side despite how young it is.

The right side is still weak outside the vets and I expect one of Savard/Matheson to traded by the deadline. So conundrum...because Carrier can't carry the right side by himself next season...

I agree, I think Matheson would be the logical choice to be traded. If they trade Savard, then we have Carrier as our only RD in the lineup unless, they trade Savard for another RD.

Imho, Mailloux is no where near NHL caliber yet and Rein is gonna need more time also. We shall see....

Gotta be careful what you wish for.

I don't see a future with Struble on the Habs, especially if they plan on keeping Xhekaj. Is he still waiver eligible? Maybe send him down to Laval to get more reps.

Saw articles today stating that Struble must now pass through waivers.

Struble is no longer waiver exempt.

Probably moved as soon as one of the best Ds in the pipeline, is ready to graduate.

I could envision a suitor as he had a lot of great games last season, especially right after his call up. Someone will have taken notice and may believe it’s a precursor to what he can be with more experience.

It’s great to accumulate draft picks and prospects but at some point the team needs to start evaluating them to determine who’s part of the puzzle and who isn’t.

This year is the start of the dominoes falling, Barron was the first domino to fall…. Primeau is perhaps next, and many more to come

Kovacevic and Harris were the first ones to fall.

Really good 1st game with Habs !!

 

[Shutdown]

solid first game - especially for a guy who didn't even get a skate in with the team beforehand

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Carrier >>>> Barron

Yer bon en tabaslack, exactly what we needed.

Really good 1st game with Habs !!

we could see his value in that last 3 min . PK then extra man. he was calm , cleared a few pucks and players from in front of the net. That could have been a difference between a win and a loss.

And you could see savard was more fresh late in the game too. As he played less hard minutes

Some >>> missing there, but I wouldn't compare them considering the age difference.

Big upgrade on D. The kids will be able to learn gap control and positioning watching him (unlike with Matheson/Savard).

 

[WinterLion]

He's got a good crosscheck!

 

[TennisMenace]

He isn't a journeyman who would accept that role, Jayden Struble is young and has upside, not the type of player you want to sit.

Well, he sat tonight…..I expect the same tomorrow. As long as we have Savard, he is #7.

Matheson
Guhle
Carrier
Hutson
Savard
Xhekaj

He’s not bumping any of these out….so unless an injury or trade….hes basically #7.

And when Reinbacher is healthy and Mailloux starts to get it….he probably will be #9

 

[Andy]

Strong for his size. Reminds me of a slightly taller Bouillon.

Robidas is the one he's reminding me of the most, he even sorta moves like him too. Pick your local late 90's/early 2000's Dman I guess

Robidas is a pretty good comp.

Great first game from Carrier, he is going to do exactly what we need him to do and that’s just provide stable and solid defending. It’s what we’ve been missing pretty much all year outside of Guhle.

 

[1909]

Carrier is not screwed up by MSL’s system (sorry: concept) yet !

 

[KevSkillz4]

Carrier is soo good man. Steal hahaha

[Archijerej]

He's precisely the type of a smart, positionally sound defender we needed on the right side.
