It appears that the tradition will be continuing as they announced today that Alexandre Carrier has been assigned to the Milwaukee Admirals. He recently finished up his fourth season with the QMJHL’s Gatineau Olympiques, tying for sixth among league defensemen in points.
The 19-year-old was drafted by the Predators in the fourth round during the 2015 draft and performed admirably in both their Prospect Camp and in Rookie Games earlier this season before heading to Gatineau for the season. He is 5’11” and weighs in at 175 pounds and is expected to fill out further.
Carrier was signed to a three-year entry contract back in November.
