Alexandre Carrier Reveals Expectations for the Upcoming Season
In a recent interview, Alexandre Carrier spoke about the team's acquisitions and expectations this season.
"Clearly, the expectations for the team will be different. Other teams will be expecting us differently. They will be more ready to face us."
"We are still one of the youngest teams in the league,» he continued. «We still have a lot to learn, but it's exciting to grow our core. We know we're heading in the right direction."

He also added:
"It's good to have internal competition," Carrier responded. "And it's true that we were lacking right-handed defensemen, let's not hide that! It's only good for the team when everyone is fighting for spots. We just keep improving collectively. That will help the team's success."
"[Noah] is a big, mobile guy who is capable of good breakouts. He has already shown what he can do in this league. He's only 26 years old, but he comes with a lot of experience and many games under his belt. It's good for our defensive corps and our entire team. Plus, from what I've heard, he's an excellent person who works hard and wants to improve."
