Here’s an excerpt from the Canadiens.com article concerning day 4 of rookie camp:
After four days with the 23 youngsters, Carbonneau was impressed with what he saw.
“We’re trying to evaluate specific elements in their game, including their puck-handling and skating. We’ve noticed that some players are more physically mature, have a better shot, like (Max) Pacioretty and (Mathieu) Carle,” noted the Habs’ coach.
Though spots on the Canadiens’ roster are few and far between before camp has even opened, Carbonneau feels that all the young guys have a chance.
“We arranged this week so that they would be well-rested for camp,” he explained. “It’s up to them to make a good enough impression to essentially steal a spot.”
