Two Young Players Cut From Canadiens Camp Despite Solid Performances
After several strong performances in recent weeks, Tyler Thorpe and Jared Davidson are leaving the Montreal Canadiens' camp, a decision that disappoints some fans.
Following the announcement of roster cuts, the Montreal Canadiens continue their trimming at training camp, and two more young prospects have just been cut.
Tyler Thorpe and Jared Davidson, two players who had gained visibility over the past few weeks, will have to wait longer before getting their chance with the team.

Tyler Thorpe impressed me a lot with his intensity and energy on the ice, and I also believe that's what made him a player appreciated by some fans.
Despite their efforts, the Canadiens judged that they were not yet ready to make the permanent jump to the NHL.
Here's what one observer mentioned:
"Pretty clear that Tyler Thorpe is going to end up in the NHL, great combination of size, skating, toughness, positional play, and shot. Smart strategy to draft bigger players starting in the 4th round - Thorpe, Xhejaj Jr, Protz, Merrill, McNiel, etc."

Davidson, for his part, showed interesting flashes thanks to his offensive flair.
I believe these cuts, though expected, confirm just how difficult it is for a prospect to break through on a team that focuses on development and has the depth of the Canadiens.
More cuts should follow in the coming days as the final lineup takes shape and the start of the season approaches.
