Laval Rocket: Alexandre Alain adjusting to AHL game nicely

In my opinion, Alexandre Alain has been one of the more interesting discussion points for the Laval Rocket as of late.

The 6’01 centre, signed by the Canadiens as an undrafted free agent 2 years ago, was seen as more of a conversation piece at the time than a legitimate prospect for the team, which in retrospect is understandable. At first glance, Alain looks like your standard overager, a group of players I have talked about previously with my story on Aaron Luchuk. After posting ok at best numbers in the QMJHL leading up to his final season, Alain posted 87 points in 65 games as a 20-year-old alongside current Habs prospect Joel Teasdale and current Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Alex Barre-Boulet.
