We’ve now reached the top-20 in our annual Prospect Rankings series. This group of young players is highlighted by one of Montreal’s picks from 2020 who has done nothing but produce since being selected.

Laval’s lengthy homestand to start the season wrapped up last week with a four-game set against Manitoba. While they were the better team in all four games, they still only managed to come away with two victories.

March 1st is the first day that players can sign contracts that begin in 2021-22 and the Habs did just that with Gianni Fairbrother, inking the defenceman to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Laval’s second half of their season-opening series against Belleville didn’t go as well as the first half but the Rocket still managed to pick up a win in one of the two games.

Laval got off to a nice start to their 2020-21 season as they picked up a pair of high-scoring victories over Belleville with a good mixture of returnees and newcomers leading the way.

Our third group of prospects in our annual rankings series features a pair of players who actually suited up for the Habs last year plus a pair of 2020 draft picks off to good starts to their seasons.

Cole Caufield has been on fire lately since returning from the World Juniors, making him an easy choice for January’s top prospect. Several others also did well and get a mention in our three stars.

Our next batch of prospects in our annual rankings series consists of one of Montreal’s higher picks from just three years ago, some longer-term projects, and one of their longest-tenured prospects.

While there are several prospects who still haven’t played for the better part of a year, it’s time for another instalment of our annual prospect rankings. We start with players ranked 31st through 38th.

With the AHL season a couple of weeks away from starting, it’s almost time for training camp in Laval.  With that in mind, the Rocket unveiled their 32-player training camp roster on Thursday.
