Rookie camp 2009 – Martin thinks young players could play key role
Sep 8th
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, just because I mean it. I’m excited for this upcoming season and it’s great to see the reports coming out of the rookie camps. It satisfies part of my desire to see some Habs hockey.
Watching a report on RDS, it’s interesting to listen to Jacques Martin and the RDS analysts. Martin really seems to leave the door open for any number of young players…. from Chipchura, D’Agostini, Pacioretty.. to Maxwell, Latendress, the Kostitsyns, Lapierre… he goes on to say that any number of these young players could have an important role in the Montreal Canadiens lineup this year.

2009 Habs Rookie camp is underway
Sep 7th
The new hockey season is now so very close. If you’re anything like me at this time of the year seeing your favorite hockey jerseys being worn in practice is…. well… satisfying… a bit.
Although it’s just rookie camp every year the veterans are also starting to get warmed up.
I love seeing clips of the young guys going through the drills and catching a glimpse of some future roster players.

Prospect Watch : Who is P.K. Subban
Sep 5th
There are a few young guys in the Montreal Canadien’s system that fans can look to as cracking the lineup in the next couple of years. One of those guys is P.K. Subban.
Subban posted some nice numbers in the OHL. Last season he had 14 goals and 62 assists for a total of 76 points in 56 games played.

Andreas Engqvist signs with Montreal Canadiens
Jul 13th
Heard the news about this signing.
Andreas Engqvist is a 6’3 center…. he’s 21 years old and sign a 2 way deal for 3 years.
I’ve never seen this guy play, unless he was playing some of the world junior games when I was watching or something…. but as far as I’ve read, this guy was undrafted. At least over on hockeydb.com , there is no listing of any draft information.

And his page on Eliteprospects.com:

Timmins must have seen something that he really liked in him (Gainey too) to offer the 3 year deal.
He’s definately a type of player that they need… he’s got pretty good size, and the scouting report is that he’s got good vision and passes well.
Will he play in Montreal this year? Probably not. But this move does accomplish something… helps add pieces in Hamilton…. Montreal has a few prospects on defense that could possibly see some ice this year… Mathieu Carle, Yannick Weber, P.K. Subban (can’t wait to see you in Montreal PK!)… Engqvist adds a big young center in development. Possibly taking a future roster spot.
And as I saw posted in a couple of spots… here’s a video of Andreas Engqvist.
