  1. ugh.. feel so bad for the kid.. not great for his development either. get well soon David

  2. Hes just had a really awful last 14 months

    Just brutal in terms of his development

  3. Brutal. There goes his D+2 season. He’ll likely need a full season in Laval next year too for development so it could be 4 years after his draft before we see him in Montreal.

  4. I think he worries me even more than Laine. That could be horrible for that kid’s future in the NHL and a big lost for our team. At least we had a so-called “logjam” on defense, but I’m really sad for David.

  5. With all this time lost in development, I’m worried he will never be the player the Habs brass thought he would be… shame, especially with Michkov looking to start his Calder campaign this week

  6. Yeah if i was him i would take no vacation this summer to win back some of what he was supposed to gain this season.

  7. This feels worse than the Laine one because he’s just a prospect getting started with high expectations

  8. Jesus that long. A year missed of development, for someone already behind is bad. I honestly don’t have good feelings about him turning out.

  9. Why does this team have to be so fragile? Every damn year. In a bs preseason game too.

  10. Unless they want Guhle there long-term, we always needed another RHD to go along with Reinbacher and Mailloux. I wonder if they explore a potential trade for someone further along or if it’s a priority in the 2025 draft.

  11. Well fuck,

    This is really bad for the rebuild in all honesty.

    Heal up kid, you deserve better than this.

  12. Tabarnak… I was less worried about him than Laine. His ‘incident’ looked like he ‘twisted his ankle’ or something. This one stings, not from a line-up perspective, but as far as stunting his development. /tableflip

  13. He’s still really young but this is knee injury number 2 (3?) at this stage of his career. That’s got to be at least a little concerning, not to mention the year of lost development. Feel bad for the kid. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and can develop into the player the team hoped he would become.

  14. guys i know this sucks and the mood is gloomy, but y’all need to stop commenting like his career is over, need to chill out a bit.

  15. Some perspective: Jayden Struble got injured almost every season post-draft. To the point that people were calling him Juulsen 2.0 and entirely wrote him off.

    It sucks for David and delays his progression, but that’s also all it is: a delay. There might even be some blessing-in-diguise somewhere down the line. Lessons and off-ice habits that couldn’t be learned any other way. David’s a smart kid, he’ll put the time to productive use.

  16. Everything from Price fumbling his name, his horrible development path, and now 3 knee injuries in the last 2 years… this pick was cursed 

  17. We need to trade for Petry again….

    He needs to break whatever deal he made for that Stanley Cup run.
