Leblanc has decided to leave the Crimson this season to play with the QMJHL’s Montreal Junior Canadiens. Leblanc stated he made this decision in order to play near his home town of Kirkland, Quebec and be near his pro team the Habs. Another reason Leblanc said he made this decision was to play more games in an attempt to make Team Canada’s World Junior team roster. Leblanc was one of the final cuts along with Tyler Seguin of the 2009 silver medal winning team but he hopes to make it this year as it is his last year of eligibility. Leblanc has been invited to participate in the team evaluation camp.
With the Canadiens signing Leblanc to the 3 year entry level contract he is eligible to play in the NHL or AHL next season. However it is unlikely Leblanc makes the roster of either the Habs or Bulldogs as the Canadiens organization would rather he mature by playing another year of Junior Hockey.
What does everyone think about Louis Leblanc?
