He’s not that bad that he can’t play in the AHL. Plus it seems like enforcer-type players have more perceived value in the AHL than they do in the NHL.
Well technically he isn't. This is a two way contract and more than likely will be playing full time in the AHL if there is a AHL season. Plus he played decent for the Admirals when they plucked him from the Habs. Good AHL depth in my opinion.
The Habs are wonderful at using their first round picks. I think the best ever selection was Louis Leblanc in 2009 18th overall, oh maybe McCarron 25th overall in 2013. Best scouting department in all of the NHL.

Yeah, but they’ve been pretty bad for most of that time, picking Caufield, Kotkaniemi, Poehling, Sergachev, and Juulsen just sunk the organization. Not to mention picking bums like Romanov and Norlinder in the later rounds. #FireTrevorTimmins
I can give credit where credit is due. Lately the Canadiens have been much better drafting but the scouting staff/department went through a long period of huge misses.

Hey, don’t forget Ryan McDonagh, Montreal Legend in 2007, thanks again for him by the way.

he is not wrong you know. Pre 2014 the Habs couldn't see talent if it was right in their face.

2013
55th Overall Artturi Lehkonen 291 GP 54G 53A 107P
86th Overall Sven Andrighetto 216 GP 31G 52A 83P
Let's also not forget about Martin Reway who was looking promising until he was diagnosed with a serious Heart condition.
2012
3rd Overall Alex Galchenyuk 549 GP 135G 185A 320P --> Max Domi, Montreal got the most production out of the draft with this pick.
33rd Overall Sebastian Collberg --> Thomas Vanek 18 GP 6G 9A 15P
64th Overall Tim Bozon --> Jonathan Racine --> Nikita Nesterov 13 GP 1G 4A 5P
122nd Overall Charles Hudon 125 GP 14G 27A 41P
Nothing spectacular with these picks, but the assets we received from these drafts weren't half bad.

Keep in mind with all of those picks: All late-round, not extremely scouted.
