The Habs parted ways with two of their prospects on Thursday as the Canadiens failed to sign goaltender Frederik Dichow and winger Jack Gorniak prior to the 5 PM ET deadline. They now become unrestricted free agents.
Leo Carlsson is expected by many to be gone at fifth overall but a surprising selection, as there often are on draft day, could change that. If that happens, the Habs should consider themselves quite fortunate.
The 2023 World Championship has come to an end. The Habs had seven players taking part, playing various roles from being key contributors to fringe roster players. Here is an evaluation of how each one performed.
The Memorial Cup will take place from May 26th through June 4th in Kamloops. This year, the Habs will have two prospects taking part. As always, we’ll keep track of their stats here.
One element of the CBA that often gets overlooked is the limit of 50 active contracts. While right now, the Canadiens are well under that limit for next season, it’s quite possible that they’re going to be very close to it this summer.
While the playoff runs have come to an end for many of Montreal’s top prospects, there are some still going strong. Those players get the spotlight as look back at the top prospect performers from last month.
For a while now, it has been known that Luke Tuch will be playing for Team USA at the upcoming World Championship. On Thursday, it was revealed that two other Hab prospects will participate in Sean Farrell and Lane Hutson.
While there aren’t many pending free agents on the Habs, the same can’t be said in Laval. With the Rocket, the list of players on expiring contracts is much bigger than the list of players signed. Here’s a look at their free agent situation.
There won’t be a fun playoff run for Laval this season as they were swept in the opening round by Utica. We look back at the series plus an interesting comment from head coach Jean-Francois Houle at the end-of-season presser.
