If anyone watches Harvard tonight, the 2 players to look out for from Quinnipiac are the goalie Yaniv Perets and Collin Graf, who in his 2 years so far in the NCAA has put up 51 pts in 57 games so might be someone of interest despite not having much room in Laval next year I'm guessing.

NCAA market is a very though one for the Habs or any Canadian market.
Good old american kid won't choose Laval over Texas or Milwaukee and if theyare worth it, normally they have tons of choice.
 
another NCAA goalie that might be of interest, Victor Ostman, he's having a great season for Maine and is the big body goalie that the Habs seem to prefer. He was teammates with Farrell in the USHL.
 

the most sought-after NCAA free agents and right now, it feels like the big fish will be Western Michigan right winger Jason Polin. The Broncos senior has been a goal machine this season, but what NHL teams really appreciate is his all-around game.

"He's more well-rounded as far as being a 200-foot player," said one team scout. "He could play in your bottom-six. He's climbing the list and brings something different than many of the other forwards."

But Polin isn't the only Western Michigan player in the rumor mill. His linemate, Ryan McAllister, is making waves, too. NHL teams are hearing that McAllister, a freshman, might come out and try his luck in the pros after the college season ends.
 
Renaud Lavoie says there is starting to have words through the league that Aidan McDonough might not sign with the Canucks after his season with Northeastern.

There is the Kent Hughes connection.


there were rumors of that last year and the year before, him going back for his 4th season was an utter shock to me and made me think he might really not sign with them. I would think the Habs would be all over this if that's the case. Big kid that can snipe it. He's been with Struble all 4 years and played 3 years with Harris (he was a Freshman the year after Primeau left for the AHL)

Yeah, with the Hughes connection if he really doesn't want to sign there for some reason i wonder if it could be a real possibility for the habs.

Does anybody knows why Logan Morrison has never been drafted, remember seeing him play with the bulldogs and he was a very good forward, maybe the Habs should look at him.
 
What's the story about Jake Livingstone? Big right handed defenseman who can put points on the board, just what the doctor ordered?

Given our current roster I think he's coyotes/blackhawks bound no room for defenseman when they look at what's here/coming

It's more Savard, Kovacevik, Barron, Mailloux. Wideman is just a filler and Bowey is so good that they had to get Allard. Right defense is open right now, let see how HuGo plans to fill the need. Livingston might help.

Jake Livingstone, Minnesota State

If you’re looking for a defender that could make the jump to a third pairing spot in the NHL quickly, Livingstone is probably that player. He has a pro-ready frame and has surpassed the 30-point mark in each of the last two seasons. The 23-year-old has received NHL interest in the past and with this season being his best, that interest should only intensify. Livingstone is a strong candidate to land a deal that begins now, getting him to restricted free agency sooner.

most of the guys you listed are LDs Livingstone is a RD so hes only competition would be Savard,Barron,Mailloux and Kovacevic not hard to beat at all
 
I'm probably late, but just saw elite prospects suggest this guy will sign an NHL contract.

Like and subscribe to find out who !!!!

Just kidding


 


Anyone know of anyone undrafted on these teams that could be worth at least an AHL PTO to come join Laval? All 3 Junior leagues are in the final week of their regular seasons.
