A completely unexpected new candidate has just entered the race for a roster spot with the Montreal Canadiens this season.
There's already been plenty of talk about Florian Xhekaj, Owen Beck, Oliver Kapanen, Joe Veleno, and Samuel Blais, but now an unexpected name has firmly inserted himself into the mix.
Could Vinzenz Rohrer Be THE Surprise of the Canadiens' 2025 Training Camp?
More and more, Rohrer is generating buzz in Montreal..
"Vinzenz Rohrer continues to earn points and should get a second preseason game. He can believe in his dream of reaching the NHL thanks to his energy and speed. In many ways, he resembles Paul Byron."

Ahead of tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs (the Canadiens' third preseason matchup), it was announced that Rohrer will play as a center!
That shows, first, that he's clearly being considered as a potential NHL centerman.
And second, it shows that the Montreal Canadiens are genuinely interested in him and that he's truly in the conversation to start the season in Montreal.
Remember the name!
"Rohrer will center line 3. Interesting."

Vinzenz Rohrer, 21, is a 5-foot-11, 168-pound forward who was selected in the third round of the 2022 Draft (75th overall) by the Canadiens.
He collected 25 points in 52 games last season in Switzerland's National League A with Zurich.
At this point, he seems to have surpassed names like Owen Beck and Joshua Roy in the race to start the season in Montreal.
Stay tuned!
