I wonder if he can be essentially a bigger Romanov with less offensive upside. Maybe less physical Emelin. Hope they sign Dichow next.
Starting next year? He can play in Laval this year then, even in the playoffs.
Starting this year? If the latter, there is one less year at strict cost control, but no real risk he will earn much more in June 2024. Importantly there is no change to his UFA date (still June 2029). Meanwhile, there is 1 less year committed under the 50-contract limit. If he does not show promise, Habs can walk in 13 months from now, before a bunch more guys might turn pro (such as Rohrer, Guindon, Beck, Engstrom, Mesar, Hutson, Kapanen, Nurmi)

We'll know when the official announcement comes through. Probably at a more reasonable time than 5am.
Maybe 9am.

Looking forward to Struble playing pro hockey. His game is suited for it.
He's been injured a lot and didn't progress offensively, but they obviously think he can be a useful player...

Hasnt progressed at all since d+1 but he should still be a pro.

I mean, offensively. He does have pro upside as a physical shutdown D with very good mobility and nastiness. He is similar to Romanov and Xhekaj.

You get the impression that he will be a handful for belligerent forwards once he gets established

JF Houle said that Struble will most likely play on Friday.

As he should, Galipeau is ECHL material.

He's been pretty steady for Laval. But he should be sent to 3R if it means making room for Struble.

Only his Senior Year at prep school did he show any offensive capability, it’s not who he’s every been - he’s a modern day shutdown Dman. Excellent skater w size, mobility & nastiness as stated in the post
Far superior skater & Dzone positioning vs both Romanov & Xhekaj.
I’m curious to see his development in puck transitioning (1st pass movement), he has potential to become very very good / borderline elite at that aspect if he can learn to not take too many chances/ develop better situational awareness of high risk plays.. only thing holding him back from being NHL ready IMO and I’ve been watching Struble since prep school in these parts.

Another name in a long list of QMHL overagers we inexcusably missed on!
