Without making too much noise, Vinzenz Rohrer is having a really good tournament at the CDM

As you can see in the photo above, the Habs prospect – who was drafted in the third round (2022) – has been playing in Switzerland for the past two years to further his development.

He had a decent first season and showed some improvement in his second campaign in Zurich.

But right now, the 20-year-old forward is having a good time at the World Championship defending his country’s colors.

Rohrer has scored twice – as well as adding two assists – in six games, he was named Austria’s player of the match on Friday against France… and we notice above all that he relies on his speed to create things on the ice.

He hasn’t gone unnoticed since the start of the tournament:

It’s hard to say much about the youngster’s potential.

But we do know that he has some interesting skills and assets for a player of his age. He has a nice (and fast) skating stroke, he’s smart with the puck because he has good vision, and what makes him an interesting player is the fact that he always plays hard.

His energy level is always 100%, and players with that ability are often able to make a name for themselves in the National League.

I’d like to see him with the Rocket before too long, though.

At 20 years of age (21 next September), he should be able to progress on the smallest rinks in North America.

He’d have the opportunity to improve even more by playing with quality players in Laval and in the AHL, which could also prepare him to reach the NHL sooner.

But, then again, it’s great to see him having success at the World Championship right now, when there are some good NHL players in the tournament.

And I really do believe that the Canadiens like what they see of him right now.

Overtime

– Who wins tonight?

– Come on, Lu!

– Oh

– Bang!

– Yikes.
