The Montreal Canadiens enjoyed a fine season overall, surpassing many predictions.

By reaching the playoffs, the Habs proved that they are much closer to being a competitive club than most believed.

The Washington Capitals, however, brought the Montreal club (and its fans) back down to earth by upsetting them and eliminating them in the first round.

Now that the Caps have been eliminated, they can focus on the off-season.

And the Capitals have dealt Martin St-Louis another blow (albeit a positive one) by announcing a guest at the development camp.

That guest is MSL‘s son, Ryan St-Louis.

TVA Sports recently reported on one, giving credit to Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal, who broke the news earlier this evening.

While this news must have a kind of stabbing effect on the habs head coach, he must first be very proud of his eldest son, no doubt.

He hasn’t signed a contract yet, but at least he’ll be able to make his mark in the big leagues.

Ryan St-Louis began his NCAA career with Northeastern University, the varsity team of Cayden Primeau and Devon Levi (who, by the way, meet tonight in the AHL playoffs).

In his only year with Northeastern in 2021-22, St-Louis played alongside Levi, as well as Jayden Struble.

However, he spent 2022-23 in the USHL, before returning to the NCAA, this time with Brown University (in Providence).

Now 21, the eldest son of Martin St-Louis enjoyed a fine season, collecting 29 points in 23 games.

For those wondering if Ryan plays like his father, there are similarities in style.

Both are very creative with the puck, but Ryan seems to be more patient with the puck than his sibling. He has a good skating stroke, but not like his father.

At 5’10”, he’s taller than Martin, and could still cause a surprise at the Capitals’ development camp (as could a lot of lesser-known prospects).

It remains to be seen whether he can force the Caps’ hand for a possible contract or even a tryout at the club’s official practice camp.


Overtime

– Agreed.

– We should think about it.

– The experience and the youth.

– We’ll need to be very aggressive to counter the Oklahoma City Thunder.
