    ugh.. feel so bad for the kid.. not great for his development either. get well soon David

    Hes just had a really awful last 14 months

    Just brutal in terms of his development

  3. Moresopheus

    Hope the young guy bounces back on the quicker side of 5 months.

  4. Brutal. There goes his D+2 season. He’ll likely need a full season in Laval next year too for development so it could be 4 years after his draft before we see him in Montreal.

  5. I think he worries me even more than Laine. That could be horrible for that kid’s future in the NHL and a big lost for our team. At least we had a so-called “logjam” on defense, but I’m really sad for David.

    Poor kid. That fucking sucks. Basically a whole year of development gone

  7. only 19 and it’s like what the third time he have a knee injury?

    Maybe unpopular opinion but I would use him as a trade bait for a young forward.

  8. With all this time lost in development, I’m worried he will never be the player the Habs brass thought he would be… shame, especially with Michkov looking to start his Calder campaign this week

  9. This rebuild went from sounding amazing to feeling blah within a week damnit!

    Yeah if i was him i would take no vacation this summer to win back some of what he was supposed to gain this season.

  11. Best of everything and wishing a full recovery. 🙏

    Is it the same knee that’s been a problem for him already?

  13. CarlSK777

    This feels worse than the Laine one because he’s just a prospect getting started with high expectations

  14. Secret-Ad3498

    That’ll be a total of 0-20 games in the AHL maybe more if they make the playoffs after a dissapointing season in Europe (not by his fault). That’s rough.

    Why does this team have to be so fragile? Every damn year. In a bs preseason game too.

  16. BigBoy990

    Awful news for the kids development, this was gonna be a huge year for him in Laval.

    And now we’re gonna have to hear the most annoying people in the fanbase yap about Michkov while Reinbacher doesn’t even get to show his worth, even though we were never gonna draft him no matter what.

    I feel like ever since Price injured his knee we’ve been cursed

  18. Unless they want Guhle there long-term, we always needed another RHD to go along with Reinbacher and Mailloux. I wonder if they explore a potential trade for someone further along or if it’s a priority in the 2025 draft.
