Well on the positive side, sounds like we may get to see Struble get a call up at some point this season.To be honest he hasn't look that good either. Come to think of it, no D has stood out except Jayden Struble who has been easily the best Dman in Laval.
Mailloux shows the most upside but he is not nearly ready.
Trudeau was been below average.
Beaudin has been ok.
Norlinder not much better than Lindstrom.
He really has stood out. We should be excited about this player.Well on the positive side, sounds like we may get to see Struble get a call up at some point this season.
I would have called Norlinder instead. He had a really good camp and probably the best D to play on the PP
Agree. I have watched every Laval game this year and Struble has been extremely extremely impressive. Easily Laval's best defenseman.Norlinder has reverted to his f***shit ways in Laval. Struble has been our best D prospect in Laval so far.
Norlinder only really had like 5-6 good periods at camp. Not enough to earn first call up.
If tanking means recalling one the worst options available from Laval, then yes they are 100% tanking.They're tanking the team.
Unless it was Struble, it's was all bad options. Better for the actual prospects to stay in the AHL and call up Lindstrom who played over 100 NHL games already.If tanking means recalling one the worst options available from Laval, then yes they are 100% tanking.

Very true, I’m just making sure to make my point across that he’s underwhelming in Laval.Unless it was Struble, it's was all bad options. Better for the actual prospects to stay in the AHL and call up Lindstrom who played over 100 NHL games already.
If Roy is still 2+ ppg by game 15, they will have to start to think about making move to give him a top 9 roster spot. 19-20 years old 1.5-2 ppg don't stay 20 games in the AHL.They're trying not to disrupt the development of the prospects in the AHL.
I would expect that they would recall Andersson or Stephens ahead of Roy, Farrell, etc.
Harris has trouble on the right side his lack of physicality hurts him more on his weak side.They can. They also really don't play as well on their off-side.
Like Armia, the right guy is called up. No need to call up one of the youngsters, who need bigger minutes in Laval at the moment. Later in the season, that can change. But right now, Armia and Lindstrom are the right guys to call up.
It's about learning the pro game too, not just his ppg. Absolutely no reason to rush anyone. Besides, those guys need to win some damn games!If Roy is still 2+ ppg by game 15, they will have to start to think about making move to give him a top 9 roster spot. 19-20 years old 1.5-2 ppg don't stay 20 games in the AHL.
I'm shocked with Trudeau's play. He's been struggling. Norlinder has come back down to earth.To be honest he hasn't look that good either. Come to think of it, no D has stood out except Jayden Struble who has been easily the best Dman in Laval.

Got hit on hand with one of the blocksNo idea how it's upper body when it seemed like he was blocking shots with his lower body. Oh well. Here we go again.
At least it wasn't around the trade deadline.Got hit on hand with one of the blocls

Been praising Struble for some time has a bit of everythingI'm shocked with Trudeau's play. He's been struggling. Norlinder has come back down to earth.
Our defensive system is a disorganized mess thanks to another clueless rookie coach,back to Robidas island Stephan !Savard was a monster on that PK last night.
Too bad he got hurt..............next up!!
The injuries so far, are nuts, but also makes me lol at the change in medical staff was for what? LOL
Let's see how the new crowd handle the injuries as guys re hab and return....
Norlinder's play has been utterly undistinguished in Laval so far. I think that ship has sailed.Also, I wouldn't have minded seeing Norlinder. But I'm guessing Lindstrom may be playing better, in addition to being a right shot. Whoever gets called up will at least dress, though for sure they may not play a lot.
Regrettably, his 'standing out' is more a reflection of the uneven/poor play of his fellow Laval defencemen. Struble has made multiple defensive errors that have resulted in goals and scoring chances against. He is not ready for the NHL.He really has stood out. We should be excited about this player.
ugh im just afraid it is going to get worse - I get the sense that the more injuries there are, the more players play in spots that they arent used to (or talented enough to use) and end up in situations that are more likely to cause them injuries.Savard was a monster on that PK last night.
