Canadiens: Rookie and Prospect Showdown

On Tuesday at MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia was hosted the NHLPA Rookie Showcase. Montreal Canadiens prospects Lane Hutson and Logan Mailloux attended this year’s showcase. Two out of 33 is an impressive statistic and makes up for past seasons when Montreal was often an afterthought at these types of events. View original article to view embedded media. However, optimism surrounds Montreal this season compared to years past. All eyes have been trained on Lane Hutson to see whether his offensive prowess will translate to success when competing against bigger league players in the NHL. Mawhile, Logan Mailloux had an extremely smooth start in Laval as an AHL professional player. At an event for young hockey prospects in Laval titled ‘First Shot: Laval AHL Rookie Signing Event,’ Mailloux explained how both of them have the same goal this season – earning themselves roster spots with Montreal Canadiens. My money would go on Hutson as she has the greatest chance at success in any contest that could arise between now and June’s general elections. Mailloux boasts more professional experience, while his body can withstand the physical play in the AHL; Hutson may not. Cole Caufield won’t be alone when switching up their number in honor of Johnny Gaudreau: Hutson will donning one as well. Mailloux will switch over from wearing his previous number 94 with Montreal to his Laval Rocket jersey number 24 for this season – out goes Perry and in comes Danault! Note how Matt Hutson does not appear next to New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe. Rookie camp will open its doors September 11 and the Canadiens have named some of their prospects who will face Toronto Maple Leafs hopefulls at Bell Centre Sept 14-15; Mailloux and Hutson can both be expected, alongside two defensemen (David Reinbacher and Adam Engstrom) that should excite Canadiens fans during these two dates at training camp: David Reinbacher and Adam Engstrom will all appear alongside Mailloux and Hutson as expected despite recent media scrutiny comparing Hutson next to New York Rangers giant Matt Rempe in this photo that made its rounds Tuesday (which put Hutson next to Rangers giant Matt Rempe).
