    TRAINING CAMP: Devils Take the Ice Friday

    Top 11 prospects in NJ

     

    # 1 - Kevin Korchinski

    Kevin Korchinski makes Blackhawks debut in preseason opener - Chicago  Sun-Times

    Height 6.01 -- Weight 185

     

    Kevin Korchinski completed the 2022-23 season with the Seattle Thunderbirds alongside Devils teammate Brad Lambert. Korchinski finished out the season with 73 points in 54 games including 62 assists. He heads into this training camp as a potential sleeper for the young Blackhawks. He played exceptionally well last pre-season given his age. Could he crack the NHL at the ripe old age of 19? It's possible. Does the WHL have any more for him to learn?

     


    #2 - Logan Cooley

    NHL Notebook: Arizona Coyotes sign top-prospect Logan Cooley and eight  active players who made immediate impacts in the NHL following their draft  years - OilersNation

    Height 5.10 -- Weight 174

     

    Logan Cooley finished out the 2022-23 season with a scorching pace of 60 points in 39 games in the NCAA. A 1.5 PPG pace in college hockey is largely unheard of. He was only bested by prospect phenom.. Adam Fantilli. He is expected to join the Coyotes this season as he has signed over to the NHL. Cooley had a highlight reel goal already in his first pre-season game for the Yotes. It is likely Cooley suits up for ARI this year and earns a big role!

     

     

    #3 - David Reinbacher

    Canadiens Sign Defenseman David Reinbacher to Entry-Level Contract - The  Hockey News Montreal Canadiens News, Analysis, and More

    Height 6.02 -- Weight 209

     

    David Reinbacher completed last season in Swiss' A league representing Kloten HC. David played well going near half a PPG in a men's professional league. He plays with a great compete level and plays a physical brand of hockey. He is expected to take a step this season. The question is will be that in the AHL, overseas, or possibly even the NHL? His hockey IQ and defensive understanding of the game is quite remarkable and he has bulked up over the summer gaining 15 pounds.

     

     

    #4 - Brad Lambert

    Brad Lambert was Outstanding in Winnipeg Jets Preseason Debut

    Height 6.01 -- Weight 175

     

    Brad Lambert joined the Seattle Thunderbirds after a brief stint with the Manitoba Moose. After struggling in the AHL Lambert went to the WHL alongside Kevin Korchinski. Where he managed to put up 38 points in 26 games including 17 goals.  He excelled in the post season notching 26 points in 17 games including 20 assists. Brad has the speed and skill to potentially crack the NHL Jets. He may need more ahl seasoning but is it believable he could crack the Jets? You be the judge.

     

     

    #5 - Simon Edvinsson

    Detroit Red Wings made right decision with Simon Edvinsson's contract

    Height 6.04 -- Weight 198

     

    Simon Edvinsson joined the Grand Rapid Griffins last season where he tallied 27 points in 52 AHL games. He played 9 games in the NHL wit the wings netting 2 goals. The year of North American experience should bode well for Edvinsson as he heads into his second year of pro hockey in North America. He is definitely a consideration for the Wings this coming year. With an increased competition level at camp though he will need to earn every minute of it. Simon could surprise but the AHL wouldn't be a bad option either.

  3. I have informed the exec team of my intention to resign my position as GM of the Habs. I appreciate all the fun times folks! I have had something come up that requires a lot more of my spare time. So I will be having to take a break. I will pass on the remaining UFA convos to the other two agents.

    Kk, just want to make sure I'm doing things right and there isn't some direct message system I'm missing.

    No you are good. We are tied up with contract negotiations at the moment. It probably got forgotten about on the side. I would fix it all for you but I do not have sheet access. It will have to be @Gator or @Relyt Krets to do that for ya.

    It is expected Montreal will start with 8 available defenders on any given night. The team has two open forward spots for the starting lineup. Alongside one additional spare forward. The defensive positions are not fully set but this gives you an idea.

     

    The coveted third line left wing spot riding coattails with Adam Fantilli is the most intriguing battle. Having the was ability to skate with a seasoned pro like Gallagher and a young buck like Fantilli would do great for any players stat line.

     

    We feel we will have one of the better third lines in the league. We hope that depth will help us challenge every night and contend for a postseason appearance.

  6. If you missed out on a defenseman so far in free agency. 


    Please be aware!

    Jacob Bryson is now in Phase 2 of the UFA process. His current top offer is a 2-year contract with an AAV of $975,000 per season. His ideal contract is a multi-year deal (2 years) closer to the 1.2m mark. The market will ultimately dictate his contract but please send us a note if you have any interest in his services!

    Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher learning French from girlfriend's family |  Montreal Gazette

    Signing - The Montreal Canadiens Montreal Canadiens - Wikipedia have agreed to terms with Brendan Gallagher on a 4 year deal

     

    Brendan Gallagher - 4 years x $15,000,000 ($3,750,000 AAV) - Deal includes a NTC

    The Canadiens de Montreal are proud to welcome Brendan Gallagher back to the province of Quebec. Brendan was a consideration for us in the innagurial draft but the cap implications were to complex. 

     

    This turns out to be a great deal for both sides. It provides the franchise and player the ability to fix an inefficient contract. This will reduce the stress and frustration on the player and our fans. 

     

    Brendan is expected to start the season on the teams third line alongside rookie sensation Adam "fanta" Fantilli. The experience, leadership, and intangibles Gallagher brings will help the young players on the squad especially young and impressionable Adam Fantilli.

     

    we thank the Gallagher family for choosing Montreal to call home!
