C Jared Davidson - Laval Rocket, AHL (2022, 130th, MTL)

[montreal]

He always stood out to me every time watching him play in the memorial cup, prospect / training camps, and in this years pre season. I really hope he gets a cup of coffee in the show this year at least. In my opinion I’d rather give him a shot on the 4th line rather than a career tweener in Condotta. Maybe management sees it better for his development to be playing more
Minutes for Laval still?

The Habs have been rushing kids to the NHL, I hope they let Davidson continue to work on things as his speed and skating need some work. He's off to a great start, he's easily been one of Laval's best players so far this year after being very solid in his rookie year.

I suspect the Habs future 4th line is going to look very interesting by the time the next coach is in place perhaps, so the Habs currently have a number of interesting options that fit more of what you would want out of a 4th liner, works hard, gets their nose dirty but have good hands so they can create some things out there on a somewhat consistent basis. If Davidson keeps working on things he could certainly be in the mix.
