Description
Harvey-Pinard (11) works so hard, every game he is noticeable. Weal (19) has been good. He is too strong for AHL and not strong enough for NHL. Ylonen (26) his hockey IQ is extremely high. A very impressive player, with a good future.

Blandisi (46) when focused he is tenacious. Poehling (41) he played LW last night but he is more dangerous and has a better presence in the game at Centre. Teasdale (14) I did not like him at first, but he has really grown on me. He is very smart on the ice. If his skating can improve he has a shot at the NHL. In terms of star quality there is not much there but together as a line, they often spend much more time in offensive zone.

Belzile (22) when focused, he can be very noticeable for all the right reasons. Vejdemo (12) had a very strong beginning of year and tapered off before getting injured. He has good size 6'2", excellent skating and his vision is good. He seems to lack hunger or something. A strong AHL player but jury still out on NHL. Caufield (44) now people are going to freak out I have placed him only on 3rd line. Yes he will play in NHL, yes he has incredible NHL shot. It is not that he is a 3rd line player, it is the fact the two lines above when healthy gelled really well and often dominated games.

Pezzetta (23) this is another player that has warmed on me. He is not the most talented, but he hits and hit and hits. He is a decent fighter and will stick up for his teammates. Mysak (18) he is only 18 and only plays 10 minutes per game but you notice him. He is really good on faceoff's, he has offensive skill. Baddock (34), I thought he was just a big goon, but he can play. He is smarter than I thought. He does not run around. He is improving as a player. He is also needed at the AHL level because certain players target Laval's skilled players and he is definitely a presence on the ice.

Big omission, Laurent Dauphin (27) and argument can be made to put him in instead of Mysak as 4th line Centre but quite frankly Mysak hustles way more. Dauphin floats up and down the ice. He chats and laughs with linesmen. A big disappointment for what Laval is paying him.

Leskinen (28) is a younger version of an Andrei Markov. His passing, his vision is really good. He moves the puck up ice so fast and on the powerplay he is a conductor out there. I hope MTL gives him a shot. If not another team will. Brook (8) he had a slow start to the season but has been really good his last 12 games. His offensive instinct is kicking in and I understand how he got all those points in Junior. He needs to get a touch heavier. He sees the ice well and has improved in his own end.

Olofsson (29) he is nothing fancy but is a big body. He is disciplined, he skates well. He moves puck well. He is strong for the AHL, not sure long term in the NHL. He is also a smart player. Schueneman (6) he was wild at beginning of season and all over the place and he was also a -7. Coach sat him down and since then he was +9. Last game he just jumped over the boards and Stockton scored so he got a -1. He skates really well, he makes nice passes. I recommended him to a team and five days later Montreal signed him to a contract. He is a very good AHL player. Can he translate that into an NHL career. I think so if giving the opportunity.

Bisson (4) he is a very steady defensive d-man. He is tough along the walls. He is hard to get around. This was a good pick up by Laval as he joined the team after the season started. He is also +11 on the season. He will not give you much offense but he plays really well in his zone. Also not afraid to drop the gloves. Good size at 6'2" 1/2. Would be even better 10 to 15 pounds heavier. Fleury (5) he is a hard hitting d-man that is tough to play against in his zone. You will not get much offense out of him but he is a good 3rd pairing. He also put on some weight and is now 212 pounds.


Massive omission that will have people freaking out: Xavier Ouellet (43) and the captain. If all of those six players are healthy, they all play ahead of Ouellet. All six of them skate faster than him. They do not make defensive turn overs as much as Ouellet. I know this will not be popular and people, especially some francophones will not like this, but Tobie Bisson is a francophone? I am sorry, he got this far because Coach Bouchard and Ducharme both played with Ouellet's father and later coached with him and they have seen him grow up. I am not picking favourite's just going with the best 6 players.

Lastly the goalies: Many are speaking up Primeau, but McNiven is a very strong and good goalie. Nothing against Primeau but I would not discard McNiven so quickly.

Quellet looked brutal last night so I dont see how he is playing over anyone right now. I do think they need another tough guy to protect a little bit more though.

Sadly wont get any AHL playoffs the year that Laval has looked like the best team in the league

Every time I post on RDS anything negative about Ouellet I get backlash. I am simply picking my top 6 D and the reasons why. And yes too bad there are no playoff's this year.

Assuming that no one gets called up, I 100% agree these would be the lines. Although I guess that also depends on injuries, because as far as I know Belzile is the only player skating out of the 6 that are injured. Watching the highlights (plus one full game), Baddock has definitely proved me wrong. He’s been better offensively than I thought, while Hillis & Khisamutdinov have disappointed.

I get that people are protective over him for some reason but the kids have obviously moved past him this season.

So if there are no AHL playoffs why exactly are they having a season? Who gets the Championship? And why are we sending Caufield to Laval to learn what it is like for a professional team to make the final push to the playoffs? Would it not serve him better to be with the big club even as part of the taxi squad for a playoff push than to just play meaningless games in the AHL.

the last two you mentioned are still very green in terms of experience. They will get better in two years time. Baddock has been better than I expected. And the injuries have been obviously unfortunate. Selfishly, to Ylonen because he was having such a great season.

you described it perfectly. Several d-men have simply passed him and are better than he is.

all excellent questions:

Playoff's are a border issue. As of right now it is looking as if there will be no playoff's but teams are holding out hope they will change their minds to allow playoff's. If there are no playoff's, then nobody would be issued the Calder Cup.

The team is sending Caufield to Laval for several reasons. One, there is way too much hype from the fans and media over him. Start him in Laval and on the road. Let him get his feet wet. He will still learn a lot as the AHL is not a bush league. Ryan Poehling has improved a lot since the beginning of the season.

In hockey language you will often hear, put him in the right chair. Putting Caufield on the taxi squad does not help his development. He needs to play meaningful minutes, which Coach Bouchard will give him. The only thing that may change things is the recent injury to Gally. His broken thumb may cause MTL to move Caufield sooner than desired. But had Gally not injured his thumb I think Caufield would have played the last remaining games in Laval and then be brought up to MTL.

I hate going here but I will. Ouellet has benefited his entire hockey life. Both Coach Bouchard and Ducharme played for his father and later coached with him. I can go very deep on this topic all the way back to his Junior days between Ouellet and Matt Provost. Provost was the better d-man but Ouellet was kept and I could not figure out why, until I did some digging. Ouellet is an average d-man. It is as simple as that.

As of right now , no.

The AHL said they had their hands tied with the closed border.
