As we reported in the last few minutes, under his hat as general manager of the Laval Rocket, Kent Hughes has brought a new goaltender to the Montreal Canadiens organization today, to help the AHL team

"The Laval Rocket announced that they have signed goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo to a professional tryout contract."

An interesting fact about Kaskisuo, he is extremely present on social media and even on YouTube.

He has a channel with nearly 52,000 subscribers and he responds to almost every fan message. It's rare to see that.

See one of his videos here:

Kaskisuo, 30 years old, is a 6 feet 3 inches tall and 194 pounds goalie. He has two games of NHL experience with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Nashville Predators, and he has been solid in the AHL. (0.909 save percentage in his last season in 2020 and a record of 14-9-2)

Since then, he has been playing in Sweden's top league with Leksands.

It will be interesting to see what he can do within the organization.
