Montreal Canadiens invite QMJHL scorer Alexey Vlasov to rookie camp

The Montreal Canadiens have invited Alexey Vlasov to their rookie training camp. Vlasov, a player for the Victoriaville Tigres, was the fourth-leading scorer in the QMJHL last season, recording 44 goals and 80 points in his rookie year.

Despite his high scoring output, Vlasov remains undrafted in the NHL, largely due to his height of 5'9”. Observers note that the Canadiens have a history of successfully developing smaller players, citing examples such as Cole Caufield, Lane Hutson, and head coach Martin St-Louis.
