Montreal Canadiens: AHL Tryouts who deserve a contract for 2018/19

One of the themes this season for the Montreal Canadiens AHL affiliate was turnover. From callups to trades and a steady number of injuries, the Laval Rocket had 51 players wear the uniform for a game this year. After the NHL Trade Deadline, there was a shift to find young talent wherever possible thus starting the Tryout Era for Laval.

It saw seven players get a sniff at the professional level after finishing their respective junior and college seasons. Adding talent so late into the season isn’t that surprising, especially when you consider how poor the Laval Rocket were, but they left no stone untouched.
