After a standout showing with Harvard, Sean Farrell is heading to the pros as the Habs announced on Sunday that they’ve signed the winger to a three-year, entry-level contract.  The deal begins this season.

In our next group of prospects, we have a collection that is relatively untested at the professional level. However, some of these players shouldn’t be too far away from potentially contributing in Montreal.

With the playoffs and regionals now finished, the NCAA has set the bracket for the upcoming Frozen Four tournament. The Habs will be well-represented at the event with a total of five prospects participating, some of which could find themselves signing NHL deals sooner than later.

Cayden Primeau continued his strong play last week but with Laval’s roster decimated by injuries and recalls, scoring was at a premium and the end result was them securing only a single win and falling out of a playoff spot.

With his season in Sweden coming to an end earlier this month, the Habs have found the next place to play for winger Emil Heineman as they announced on Monday that they’ve loaned the winger to Laval.

Into the top twenty we go in our annual rankings. In this group, we have a trio of players that have had a small taste of NHL action and are hoping to secure a regular role with the Canadiens in the near future.

Laval’s depth continued to be tested last week and while they did get some welcome additions, it wasn’t quite enough for them to put up the points as they managed just a single win over their three games.

With his college career coming to an end over the weekend, it’s now time for Jayden Struble to turn pro. He did just that on Wednesday as the Habs announced that they’ve signed the defenceman to a two-year, entry-level contract.

We’re now at the midway point in our Prospect Rankings series. Included in this group are some players who were rated fairly high not long ago but have seen their stock slip with weaker performances and additions to the system.

It was a nice bounce-back week for Laval. Although they didn’t gain any ground seedings-wise in the standings, they picked up five of six points to creep a little closer to third place which is the target position to avoid a play-in series next month.
