A left-shot forward is moving on from the Montreal Canadiens organization.<\/p>\n
Will Dineen will continue his career with the Calgary Wranglers of the American Hockey League, the Calgary Flames’ farm team.<\/p>\n
The Laval Rocket confirmed the news with an official message.<\/p>\n
“Good luck in Calgary, Dinner!”<\/p>\n
That makes his departure official, and we won’t see him at the Montreal Canadiens’ 2026 training camp.<\/p>\n
For their part, the Wranglers announced the signing within the last few minutes.<\/p>\n
They certainly seem pleased with their new addition. Good for them!<\/p>\n
Dineen is leaving the Montreal Canadiens’ system to try his luck with a new organization.<\/p>\n
Calgary is giving him that fresh start.<\/p>\n
Dineen’s departure creates another opportunity for the Canadiens’ young forwards<\/p>\n
The Rocket are losing a gritty forward who was part of their lineup, which opens up a roster spot.<\/p>\n
So yes, this is still meaningful news for the Montreal Canadiens, as one of their forward prospects will likely benefit from it.<\/p>\n
It’s the kind of departure that creates an opportunity for others.<\/p>\n
A spot is opening up, and a young player in the organization could take advantage of it and make his mark.<\/p>\n
Will Dineen be able to carve out a role with the Wranglers in this new chapter of his career?<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old Dineen is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound forward who recorded 5 points in 35 games with the Laval Rocket last season.<\/p>\n
He also picked up 29 penalty minutes while posting a +3 rating. Yes, that could create valuable playing time for young players such as Florian Xhekaj<\/a> and Tyler Thorpe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Previously on Montreal Hockey Fanatics<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 4 HOURS AGO|217 ANSWERS<\/p>\n Left-shot forward leaves Canadiens organization for Calgary, opening the door for Florian Xhekaj<\/p>\n Where will Florian Xhekaj be playing in April?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
