Montreal Canadiens Officially Cut Twenty-Four Players from Camp After Leafs Game, Including a Surprise Name
After the game against the Leafs, the Canadiens made new significant cuts at training camp, and one decision in particular surprised many fans.
Late Saturday night, the Montreal Canadiens announced new cuts at training camp following the victory over the Leafs in Toronto.
Indeed, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, Joshua Roy, Filip Mesar, and goaltender Jacob Fowler are among the players cut.
I always find that each cut is always delicate news to announce, because these are young players who still dream of the NHL.
But, even if it's tough for the young players to take, this is part of the business of professional hockey.
"Thirty-four players (19 forwards, 12 defensemen and three goaltenders) remain on the Canadiens roster at camp, which continues Monday at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard." - Montreal Canadiens
Joshua Roy among the 4 players cut by the Canadiens, a surprise that sparked reactions from fans
In my opinion, the most significant surprise is without a doubt Roy, who had nevertheless impressed with some solid performances during the preseason games.
On the other hand, he also had some tougher moments as well.
On the other hand, he also had some tougher moments as well.
Still, many saw him as a very likely option to start the season in Montreal. I'm afraid this was his last real chance with the Habs and that his dream of playing regularly in the NHL with the Tricolore is fading.
As for Vinzenz Rohrer, he will return to play in Switzerland in order to continue his development.
I think these decisions confirm that the Habs are betting on patience with their young prospects.
Other cuts should follow in the coming days as camp nears its conclusion.
More details to come.
