Don't go by just the points. He is playing solid D, moves the puck well. Those 3 points are very recently.
Yes...I watch most Laval games and he his steadily improving.
He was impressive in the pre-season.

he's looked overmatched in his own end but he's been more physical then I was expecting, but then again I thought he would have been in the Q as an overager this year and in 3R next year so he's ahead of where I had him. He's certainly looked better then I thought he would.

Another assist tonight. No points in his first 16 games, but after that, 10 points in his last 13 games on a depleted team. Trudeau only turned 20 last November. If he is able to finish his season on a similar pace, he will become a very legit prospect.
He's probably getting better opportunities with the recalls and injuries in Laval.
And also, development helped of course.

Surprised that they didn’t sent him back to the Q at the start of the season as he never was out in a #1 D role there.
Probably the season-ending injury to Fairbrother have fast tracked his development to the pros. I’ve catch the last few games of the Rocket and he looks pretty good out there.

Xavier Simoneau and him spend the summer in Montreal as roommates so they could work with Adam Nicholas everyday.

He's solid defensively. It doesn't mean he doesn't have things to work on.
When you consider where Trudeau was at the start of the year and where he is now, within a few months, he's taken big steps on both ends of the ice. I like him also because he isn't afraid of the physicality.
I was impressed with his training camp. Above-average puck skills for sure. He has enough to make it as a bottom-pairing guy in my view even though it will be hard to carve a spot on the habs' blueline in the next few years. Still very young, hopefully he gains some pounds to go along with his physicality and keep up the progress.

He's a bit of a tweener who doesn't have any stand out abilities but does alot of things well. With his average skating and below average size and the fact that he is left handed it is hard to see much of a future as a permanent fixture on a contending team but he may very well carve out a career as a bottom pair journeyman. He may prove to be great depth as a 6th, 7th D so I would definitely try and keep him around.

Given what he has done since given the chance, at just 20 years old, I have a hard time understanding how some can strongly say that his ceiling is bottom pairing. The same people would have said in November that he had no real future in the NHL. Some seem to easily forget that player progression and maturation is often hard to predict, especially for these kind of players coming a bit out of nowhere. RHP if he can continue in the same way he is ding now will be another example of that, and he is 24. Look at Kovacevic, he is 25. Again, Trudeau is only 20, a young 20, his birthday is in November. I am not saying he will become a good top-4, all I say is let's wait.

22 points in 34 games since that, 9th for rookie dmen for the whole season. All the guys ahead were drafted way higher and/or are older. Pretty damn good for a 4th round pick.
