Former Canadiens Forward Says Montreal Has a 'Gallagher 2.0' in Their Ranks

There are some Montreal Canadiens prospects that few people talk about, but who could very well make their way to the Quebec metropolis one day.
That could be the case with Vinzenz Rohrer, a third-round pick by the Canadiens in the 2022 draft - the same class that brought us Juraj Slafkovsky, Lane Hutson, and eventually Owen Beck.
Originally from Austria, the now 21-year-old forward plays for the ZSC Lions in the Swiss League, where his team has won two consecutive championships.
In an interview with Nicolas Cloutier, former Canadiens prospect Tim Bozon - who currently plays for Lausanne and has faced Rohrer in the last two league finals - drew some interesting comparisons between Rohrer and none other than Brendan Gallagher.
The acquisition of Vinzenz Rohrer is a successful one for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, according to Tim Bozon
We love to hear that!
"He's incredible.
I really think he's a Gallagher 2.0.
And I'm not even saying that just because he was drafted by Montreal.
If you told me he was drafted by Anaheim or Boston, I'd say the same thing.
He's a Gallagher."

Those are some very encouraging words about Vinzenz Rohrer from a player who knows what he's talking about - Bozon himself was selected by the Canadiens in the third round of the 2012 NHL Draft, and as TVA Sports' journalist reports, he's had plenty of experience against Gallagher.
"I faced Gallagher in his final year in the WHL.
I attended several camps with him in Montreal.
We even trained together one summer."
