‘I know how they feel’: Joël Bouchard is in no rush to integrate the veterans who cleared waivers

The Laval Rocket locker room is not small. In fact, it’s more similar to an NHL locker room in terms of size and appearance. It is also already close to capacity. Between players on try outs and everyone already under contract, there aren’t many stalls that were empty.

That doesn’t even factor in the five players who cleared waivers on Friday and then were assigned to the Rocket. And the Montreal Canadiens still have cuts to make as well. Of course, some try outs will not be signed. Other players will be assigned to the ECHL.
