McCarron was the Habs 25th overall pick in the 2013 NHL draft. He has put up 2 goals and 6 assists for 8 career points in 69 career games.<\/p>\n<p>Last season he scored 0 goals and 1 assist for a total of a single point in the NHL. In the AHL, however, McCarron managed to score 7 goals and 17 assists for a total of 24 points with the <strong>Laval Rocket<\/strong>.\u00a0He also added 32 minutes in penalties in the NHL and 121 in the AHL. His possession numbers in the NHL were a 44.1% in Corsi\u00a0and a relative Corsi of -7.7.<\/p>\n<p>In his AHL career, McCarron has 31 goals and 50 assists for 81 points in 144 games. He also has racked up 278 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>McCarron could look to crack the Canadiens opening night lineup in 2018 as a potential third or fourth liner. Most likely being placed in a bottom six role McCarron will look to create chemistry and chime in on helping the team win games.
