Happy for him. Big body that can skate and is beginning to show some upside. On top of that… he finishes his hits and plays a tough game which I appreciate in a player
Did enough to merit the contract.
Best of luck kid!

He is awfully raw....if he makes the Rocket next season and plays regularly that will be an accomplishment. Even Arber played in the OHL as an overager

He's a long shot for an AHL spot.

Probably won't happen but would love for him to go back to OHL and put up some insane numbers then make NHL next year like his bro.

Bring him up to replace his brother tonight LETS GO
Yes, thats what I want for him. Let him simmer and let him really test out his offense. There's a fourth liner in there, but Im not sure if there's more, we better use up all the juice we have.

There will be a day that their both in the box together for 5 mins a piece, and that will be a good day.
Yep. No one can mess with him physically in the O and he'll play monster minutes in the offensive zone. He only just started being a go to guy on offense, even playing C. Who knows what he'll become with more reps. What if he has that Adam Lowry 2.0 in him?
Don't think he'll get much time if he's a 20yr old in the AHL and likely just fight it out with the goons. In hindsight, I'm glad Arber started in NHL. Who knows what his injury history would be in AHL if he was fighting every goon out there.

We need to be patient, but here's a legit power forward (and a C to boot) in our prospect pool.

It could very well happen. One more season refining his game in the OHL I think is the right way to go.

Frankly, we don’t want or need this kid to fight.
He’ll make the NHL based on his above average hockey skills. He’s not yet an NHL level skater, but he has a pro approach to the game. All he needs is to get quicker.
In my mind, if he’s not overwhelmed by the pace of the AHL, then that’s where he should be playing. He should be at least as effective as Kidney. I don’t think he can learn much more playing in the OHL against teenagers.
Laval sure, but don't see why we would rush him to the NHL. RNH should still be given an opportunity, there's Heineman, Farrell etc. Give them all a shot.
Congrats to him on the contract, we'll earned.

We should be seeing him in Laval soon.
Love that moniker. Is that how his teammates call him?

Big boy Lowry played until he was 20 too, just like Arber. Let him simmer, please oh god please.

FloJack completely floored Habs’ management. Said Bouillon a few weeks ago, that they drafted him thinking he was only a physical player and now they’re pleasantly surprised.
