Episode 70 of the Hockey Fee For All Podcast 10-06-2023

Hello to all the Hockey Fans out there, here is episode 70 of the Hockey Free For All Podcast to listen to. Topics include-

#1. Logan Mailloux has been loaned to Laval of the AHL

#2. Justin Barrons has yet to put it all together.

#3. Would Justin Barron make a better forward, than a defenseman? He skates and passes like one.

#4. Logan Mailloux and David Reinbacher are clearly in front of Justin Barron and have the top 2 right hand defensive positions locked up.

#5. Justin Barron is at best the 3rd pairing right-handed defenseman for the team, which will is not going to make him happy at all.

#6. Mattias Norlander has apparently decided to bring it this year and has had his best training yet and opened up a lot of eyes in the process.

#7 The Canadiens have made the right decision by returning David Reinbacher back to Swiss league to play, finish up school and develop properly.

#8. The Montreal Canadiens have more than enough players to fill spots rather than rushing anyone.

#9. Filip Mesar, Jan Mysak and Jakov Novak would make a fantastic line in Laval as will Joshua Roy, Sean Farrell and Riley Kidney. These 2 lines would make for a great top 6 in Laval.

#10. It certainly looks like the top pairing in Laval will be Logan Mailloux and Jayden Struble for sure. However, where does that leave William Trudeau who has been exceptional.

#11. Regarding the position of goal this year in Laval. It’s Jakob Dobes to lose. Unless Dobes proves he is not ready, the starting job seems his to lose.

#12. So much for Mid and late round draft picks not mattering.

#13. This of prospects doesn’t even include, C Owen Beck, Left Defensive prospect Lane Hutson, Right Defensive prospect David Reinbacher, Adam Engstrom who can play Left or Right Defenseman, C Jared Davidson, G Jacob Fowler, LW Florian Xhekaj, RD Bogdan Konyushkov “who’s already been named captain of his team in Russia at 20 years of age, which is virtually unheard of, G Yevgeni Volokhin or G Quentin Miller. That is insane talent.

#14. The jury is still out on 2022 1st round and 1st overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky, let him develop. The 3 most recent 1st overall picks at 18-years of age who came in and took the NHL by storm and lit it up in their rookie season are Wayne Gretzky Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby, enough said.
