Ivan Demidov<\/a> remains away on vacation.<\/p>\nSeeing a player from another organization take part in these workouts is a little unusual, but it can only help his preparation.<\/p>\n
Lavoie is clearly using the right connections to get ready in Montreal alongside members of the Canadiens.<\/p>\n
The forward carries an intriguing profile.<\/p>\n
Selected 38th overall by Edmonton in the 2019 NHL Draft, the Chambly native has never managed to establish himself at the NHL level.<\/p>\n
His size still stands out.<\/p>\n
At 6-foot-4 and 217 pounds, the big centre appears to have untapped potential.<\/p>\n
Rapha\u00ebl Lavoie faces a defining season with Vegas<\/p>\n
Lavoie will enter the final year of his contract with the Golden Knights, making this a defining season for his career if he wants to avoid continuing his career in Europe.<\/p>\n
He has been held without a point in 17 NHL games, but he has consistently produced in the AHL.<\/p>\n
Last season with the Henderson Silver Knights, he recorded 30 goals and 56 points in 45 games.<\/p>\n
That’s strong production.<\/p>\n
The first clip shows Lavoie moving through drills alongside several Canadiens players during the summer session in Brossard.<\/p>\n
Another sequence offers a closer look at his size and movement as he works with the group on the ice.<\/p>\n
Time is running out for the big forward. At 25 years old, with his contract set to expire soon, every workout matters.<\/p>\n
Will he finally earn a permanent place in the NHL?<\/p>\n
