Quality reinforcement could arrive this week for the Montreal Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens once again have a lot of injuries, but they come back one after the other and it will be Rafaël Harvey-Pinard's turn very soon.
In fact, we thought he would return at the beginning of December, but seeing him go on the ice in training, it's difficult not to be enthusiastic for a return this week.
When we talk about returning, we're talking about coming off the injured list. Because to win his place, he will have to dislodge several players.
We know that Martin St-Louis will certainly not say no to a warrior like RHP in his lineup. You would think that a youngster like Emil Heineman or Oliver Kapanen could pay, but I have the impression that the coach will leave aside a veteran who has a hard time like Christian Dvorak or Joel Armia.
We are hearing more and more about the desire of all analysts and supporters to see Christian Dvorak removed from the team, or even placed on waivers and sent to Laval.
It would be a big blow for him, but he is the striker who deserves to go out the most in my opinion. He no longer fits at all with the CH needs and he weighs 4.45 million on the payroll as a 4th line center. It hurts.
Coming back to RHP, he will certainly be welcome in training in these more difficult times. The team is looking to find its second wind and a player like Rafael is perfect for that.
Even if there is currently no place for him, I am convinced that Martin St-Louis will do what is necessary to find a spot for him. RHP is an intense player and that's exactly what the Canadiens need, a spark plug.
