A completely unexpected new candidate has just entered the race for a roster spot with the Montreal Canadiens this season.

Could Vinzenz Rohrer Be THE Surprise of the Canadiens’ 2025 Training Camp?

More and more, Rohrer is generating buzz in Montreal..

“Vinzenz Rohrer continues to earn points and should get a second preseason game. He can believe in his dream of reaching the NHL thanks to his energy and speed. In many ways, he resembles Paul Byron.”

– Anthony Marcotte

That shows, first, that he’s clearly being considered as a potential NHL centerman.

And second, it shows that the Montreal Canadiens are genuinely interested in him and that he’s truly in the conversation to start the season in Montreal.

“Rohrer will center line 3. Interesting.”

– David Calabretta, The Fourth Period

Vinzenz Rohrer, 21, is a 5-foot-11, 168-pound forward who was selected in the third round of the 2022 Draft (75th overall) by the Canadiens.

He collected 25 points in 52 games last season in Switzerland’s National League A with Zurich.

At this point, he seems to have surpassed names like Owen Beck and Joshua Roy in the race to start the season in Montreal.
