The Laval Rocket dealt with serious adversity this season due to call-ups to the NHL and injuries, and were forced to dig well beyond their depth to add players to their roster.
They did so by signing ECHL players to Professional Tryout contracts. The majority of these players were not brought in by the Rocket to be scouted or tested, but rather as emergency players due to a lack of options within the Canadiens organization. They would all quickly be returned to their ECHL teams.
A couple of these players stood out with some AHL potential, but for the most part this group of players does not have a future in the Canadiens organization.
