Habs to pick 15th in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft
–
Last year, the Habs were one of the winners in the Draft Lottery, moving up a spot in the process. They weren’t as lucky this time around as they stayed pat as expected and hold the 15th pick in June.

Laval’s home schedule came to an end last week and while they ended it on a winning note, their first two games left a lot to be desired.
The Habs entered the week with a slim chance at making the postseason. They were in it until almost the very end but ultimately came up short of locking down a playoff spot.
The Habs looked to finish the 2018-19 season on a high note as they hosted Toronto on Saturday night. The game was wild and wacky at times while a newcomer made an immediate impact in a 6-5 shootout victory for Montreal.
The month of March was a rough one for Laval but several of their other prospects had strong months, earning them the top billing in our prospects of the month.
At some point, the lack of offensive talent in Laval was going to catch up with them despite their decent play in recent weeks. The final week of March turned out to be when the struggles returned.
As the song and saying go, two out of three ain’t bad. That’s normally the case when it comes to results in any given week but for the Habs, their one loss was a costly one.
Sundays usually aren’t busy for the Habs in terms of transactions but this one is an exception. After inking Ryan Poehling earlier in the day, they signed goalie Cayden Primeau to a three-year, entry-level deal.
Ryan Poehling’s time at the NCAA level has come to an end as the Habs announced that he has signed a three-year, entry-level contract. The first year of the deal will be burned this season.
Following a tough loss on Thursday, the Habs are now on the outside looking in at the postseason. However, there are two teams within striking distance so there’s still a chance for Montreal. Here’s a look at the schedules for the squads still in the hunt.
