Canadiens organization bolsters depth and signs former Blues forward

The general manager of the Lions didn’t waste any time this afternoon. This move comes at a critical moment as the squad deals with several roster adjustments.

Laferriere is a massive addition for Ron Choules and his coaching staff. The kid brings a professional pedigree that instantly injects credibility into the lineup. He was a late-round gem (Drafted Round 6, #169 overall by St. Louis Blues) back in 2018.

Standing at 6'2", he isn't exactly easy to move off the puck. He plays a heavy game that translates well to the grind of pro hockey.

Fans in Mauricie should be thrilled to land a player with this kind of professional mileage. The front office specifically pointed to his valuable experience as a primary reason for the deal.

In a developmental league like the ECHL, stability is often the secret sauce for a deep run.

His primary mission is to support the existing offensive core and provide some secondary scoring.

Choules can use him in various situations because the guy is just that versatile. While this signing might fly under the radar for casual Montreal fans, insiders know better.
Organizational depth starts at the base of the pyramid.

It will be fascinating to see how quickly he adapts to the Lions' systems.

This move proves the brass is always hunting for upgrades, no matter the level of play. This is a golden opportunity for the player to shine in the Canadiens' backyard.

He has the tools to climb the ladder back toward the big show.
