The Rocket's forward to remember is not Michael Pezzetta or Ryan Poehling
Michael Pezzetta has been talked about a lot in the last few days and with good reason. The little pest of the Laval Rocket has been playing a primary role since the beginning of the regular AHL schedule. But did you know that a certain Jean-Sebastien Dea has been smoking hot so far?
Dea is the cornerstone of the offense, the number one defenseman, and an exemplary leader with a great deal of experience in this league. The 27-year-old has seven points, including four goals, in eight games. In Saturday's matchup against the Rochester Americans, he picked up two points.
Add to that the fact that he knows exactly how to play and perform in the big leagues, which would make him a safe choice. There are no question marks over his head: he has experience, flair and he's a guy with character. He has 33 games of NHL experience.
In the case of Ryan Poehling, I have the impression that we will be (still) patient before bringing him back to the Montreal Canadiens.
In short, in my opinion and in all logic, Dea remains a candidate of choice to join the Canadiens when they contact the Rocket.
