The future of a young Montreal Canadiens forward already appears to be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n
In the eyes of some observers, his recent career decision could seriously hurt his NHL hopes.<\/p>\n
The Canadiens prospect decided to return to Switzerland rather than play in the American Hockey League, a move that didn’t sit well with everyone.<\/p>\n
Rohrer reached an agreement with EV Zug for the next three seasons unless he manages to earn a spot on the Canadiens’ roster.<\/p>\n
His refusal to take the AHL route is what has sparked the reaction.<\/p>\n
Jordan Decker believes that decision could cost Rohrer his chance at an NHL career.<\/p>\n
If the young forward refuses to play in the AHL and would rather spend three years in Switzerland, it raises serious doubts about his future in North America.<\/p>\n
Vinzenz Rohrer’s Switzerland decision creates uncertainty around his Canadiens path<\/p>\n
Stepping away from an organization’s system can mean losing valuable direct contact with its coaches and development staff.<\/p>\n
The AHL is designed to serve as a springboard to the NHL.<\/p>\n
Rohrer could be passing up a major opportunity to eventually earn a spot with the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n
Choosing Europe instead of the AHL can raise questions about his path to the NHL.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Switzerland’s top league offers high-quality hockey.<\/p>\n
Rohrer could play heavy minutes and continue developing in a major role, but it remains a risky decision.<\/p>\n
Has Rohrer damaged his NHL chances, or will he find another path to the league?<\/p>\n
Decker explained his concerns in the post below:<\/p>\n
It’s a fairly unusual decision for a young forward drafted by an NHL team.<\/p>\n
