Canadiens Organization Parts Ways With Two Players Today

It happened at the third level (ECHL), with the Trois-Rivières Lions.

They announced that they have released defenseman Philippe Caron and forward Julien Paillé.

So please note that they no longer belong to the Montreal Canadiens organization, and we sincerely wish them the best of luck moving forward.

Speaking of the Trois-Rivières Lions and more "long-shot" prospects for the Montreal Canadiens, let's recall this:

The Montreal Canadiens' second-round pick Riley Kidney will therefore continue his journey in Trois-Rivières, in the ECHL.

All things considered, these are big decisions for players who hope to become the Canadiens' stars of tomorrow!

Phil Caron, age 25, is a right-shot defenseman standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 169 pounds. He collected 7 points in junior and played with the Soo Greyhounds (OHL), Gatineau Olympiques (QMJHL), Guelph Storm (OHL), and Sudbury Wolves (OHL).

Julien Paillé, age 21, is a 6-foot, 180-pound forward from Sherbrooke, Quebec. He recorded 34 points in 48 games, including 18 goals, in his last QMJHL season with the Gatineau Olympiques.

He also tallied 57 points in 69 games with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, also in the QMJHL.

We wish them both the very best moving forward!
