A Young Goaltender Suddenly Leaves the Canadiens Organization as a Suspension Is Announced
The Montreal Canadiens have an excellent goaltending depth chart. We obviously know Samuel Montembeault and Jakub Dobes, who are currently with the big club, but there are also several other goaltenders having outstanding seasons with the Habs' affiliated teams.
We can think of Cayden Primeau and Connor Hughes with the Laval Rocket, as well as Zachary Emond and Luke Cavallin with the Trois-Rivières Lions.
Unfortunately, this depth chart has taken a slight hit, as young Emond has just left the organization.
This somewhat affects the organizational depth of the Montreal Canadiens in net.
Zachary Emond leaves the Montreal Canadiens organization and is suspended by the Trois-Rivières Lions
Here is the official confirmation.
We wish him the best of luck moving forward.
Emond will now be able to go to Europe to earn some money and experience that wonderful European life.
That's sometimes how things go in the ECHL.
The Lions have been rather fortunate this season, with very few departures to Europe compared to previous years.
Emond is the most notable departure for the Lions, but this should not impact the team's performance, as Cavallin and Jones form a solid tandem.»
- Andrew Zadarnowski
Zachary Emond, 24 years old and a native of St-Cyprien (Quebec), is a 6-foot-3, 176-pound goaltender.
He was a 6th-round pick of the San Jose Sharks in 2018 and has put up exceptional numbers this season with the Lions (a record of 10-3-0, a goals-against average of 2.21, and a save percentage of .927).
I would have loved to see him with the Laval Rocket, but oh well, maybe another time!
