William Trudeau to miss start of next season

All in all, Trudeau will have to start the next campaign in Laval.

And… he should have an even bigger role due to the departure of Logan Mailloux, who was traded to the St. Louis Blues last week.

That said, the Québécois has shown great promise since turning pro, and if the Canadiens need to recall a (left-handed) guy next season in case of injury, Trudeau could still prove an interesting target.

He’s got some offensive flair in his game, he’s gotten really better defensively… and his decision-making is good, as he never gets into trouble with what he’s doing in his zone.

It’s just a shame, though, that he’s going to have to miss the Canadiens’ training camp, because it might have sent a message to Montreal management.

It would have been a great opportunity for him to show his colors… but whatever. The important thing is that he’ll be able to return to action in the first half of the season, and in that respect, I can’t wait to see the impact he’ll have in the Laval Rocket line-up.
