That means it's officially the last day for cuts, and three names have already been mentioned.
Indeed, Lucas Condotta, Brandon Gignac, and William Trudeau have been assigned to the Laval Rocket.
William Trudeau has been very impressive, as he plays like a veteran in Laval. He will undoubtedly deserve his chance with the Canadiens one day, as he is very reliable across 200 feet of the ice.
As for Gignac, he is really knocking on the NHL's door at 26 years old. He played seven games for Martin St-Louis last year. He is the spark plug for the Rocket's offense, with 55 points last season.
As for Lucas Condotta, he is currently labeled as an AHL player, but he brings a very responsible dimension that the organization really values. He is also one of the first players Kent Hughes calls up.
We will officially know the 23-player list by the start of the evening, so stay tuned!
