The acquisition ofAlexandre Carrier opens interesting doors in terms of building the strongest possible defense for the Canadian.
At 28 years old and with two seasons left on his contract after this one, he is not only a short-term solution, he will certainly be able to play big minutes as a right-handed defender, especially while waiting for the arrival of the more young as David Reinbacher et Logan Mailloux.
His first two matches were reassuring. He is exactly the player we were sold on, a very intelligent defender in his decision-making. A mobile defender with good recovery and responsible defensively.
For those who like to talk about hierarchy, Carrier is a solid 4th or 5th defender. He will bring great stability to this defense.
One thing is certain, the most excited about his arrival in Montreal is himself! He repeated in an interview how much of a dream it is for him to wear the blue-white-red uniform and the smile couldn't come off his face when he spoke for the first time in front of journalists from Montreal.
Saturday's match was his first at home and for the occasion, the family was invited. A great emotional evening for the defender from Quebec and when he realized the price of tickets at the Bell Center, he took a leap!
As he explains in the video below, it was a surprise when he saw the ticket prices which are quite a bit more expensive than in Nashville.
The Canadians helped us, I think we only paid 7 tickets out of our pocket. It was still a surprise, the tickets are a little more expensive than in Nashville.
