With the playoffs now upon us, it’s time to reveal the final grouping of prospects for 2020-21. This grouping features a trio of players who have seen time with the Habs this season and are expected to be key cogs for them in the future.
The final stretch of the season was a tough one for Laval. Despite outplaying the Marlies for significant stretches, it didn’t result in much success as they only managed to pick up three points in five games to end their season on a quiet note.
With the June 1st deadline to sign him fast approaching, the Habs have indeed got a deal done with Rafael Harvey-Pinard, announcing on Wednesday that they’ve signed the winger to a two-year, entry-level contract that begins next season.
Laval returned to action after another extended break and between shaking off some rust and a rapidly-growing injured list, they were unable to pick up a win in either of their games although they did manage to accomplish something notable despite the losses.
The Habs didn’t have a lot of prospects suit up in April but some of those that did had strong months, earning themselves a spot in our prospect three stars.
Ryan Poehling’s sophomore professional season has come to a premature end as the Habs announced on Thursday that he will soon undergo season-ending wrist surgery. A timetable for his recovery will be revealed after he has the procedure.
After an unexpected break, Laval was back in action last week and picked up right where they left off, picking up three wins in as many games over Belleville to further pad their lead in the Canadian Division.
We’ve reached the top ten in our annual Prospect Rankings series. This group features quite a few players that have gone the college route in recent years but are at various stages in their development.
While Laval’s brief homestand ended on a disappointing note, they rebounded quite nicely to pick up a pair of road victories in Toronto with a newcomer making an immediate impact.
The month of March saw several of Montreal’s unsigned prospects have strong showings while a handful of Laval players frequently lit the lamp as well, earning them a spot in our three stars.
