Québécois: Caleb Desnoyers would give 'a little more' if he played for the Canadiens

At the beginning of the year, we said that Caleb Desnoyers was a logical target for the Habs at the draft. And the Canadiens have always been interested in the young man, as you know if you read this.

But in the end, the more time passes, the less logical it becomes to believe in Desnoyers in Montreal.

Why is that? Because the young man and the Canadiens have been better than expected this year. As a result, the Québécois has moved up the lists and the Habs will draft him later than expected.

But does this prevent the Habs from taking an interest in the man who has been Québécois’ best prospect for years? No.

The Moncton Wildcats product, who is very solid in interviews according to Nicolas Cloutier, is entitled to a meeting this week with the Canadiens in Buffalo, but this has also often been the case during the season, when members of the Habs go to see him play.

Prior to today’s meeting with the Habs, Desnoyers chatted with TVA Sports. And on this subject, the Québécois gave Anthony Martineau quite an answer when asked by the journalist why the Habs should choose him.

Basically, he said that the pride of playing for your local club means you can give “a little more” on the ice. That’ll please those who say it takes more Québécois in Montreal to win, anyway.
