Here is a listing of each players’ waiver status this season from the Habs to the IceCaps to any signed prospects not playing minor pro.

Strengths: He’s smart defensively and works hard every shift. His ability to play centre or the wing is also an asset.
Strengths: Has good speed and instincts while he rarely takes a shift off. He has some offensive skills to work with as well although they have yet to materialize in the NHL.
Strengths: He’s a very strong skater who can skate himself out of tough situations. His shot is an underrated (and also underutilized) asset.

Strengths: A very strong physical player who is strong on his feet. Despite being a heavier player, he’s a good skater as well.
Our February desktop calendar features a player that many hope will be a huge part of Montreal’s future, Alex Galchenyuk.
