The best of luck to Florian! I'm excited to see him play in the future.
Best of luck ! Welcome to the Habs organization. Missed the stats. Are you about the same size as Arber ?
Player development is the key to long-term success within the bleu blanc et rouge organization. Every player has an opportunity at training camp to prove they are a piece to the puzzle, that is how the Habs have produced 24 Stanley Cups and that is the path to 25. Best of luck Montreal we will be watching your very best effort and are proud to support your commitment to winning. 🐣
Yeah Florian! I want to see a dramatic picture taken during a game of the 2 of them together
Is he playing this year for us
