During a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, GM Marc Bergevin confirmed that the Habs would not be signing any of their remaining CHL prospects that have to be signed by June 1st.

Yannick Veilleux will be sticking around in Laval for a while longer as the club announced on Thursday that the winger has signed a one-year contract extension for the 2020-21 season.

The Habs have signed another one of their prospects as they announced that they’ve inked Cam Hillis to a three-year, entry-level contract. 

In a move that has been widely anticipated for a while now, the AHL announced on Monday that they have formally cancelled the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs.

For the second straight Friday, the Habs signed one of their prospects as they have agreed to terms with defenceman Alexander Romanov on a three-year, entry-level contract.  Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Laval added to its list of newcomers for the 2020-21 season on Friday, announcing the signing of Liam Hawel to a one-year, one-way minor league contract.

The Habs have signed their first prospect from their 2019 draft class and who it is may come as a surprise as they inked Arsen Khisamutdinov to a two-year, entry-level contract.  Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

We’ve now reached the top five in our annual prospect rankings series. The battle for the top spot was the closest it has been since we switched to a writer vote – who was selected as Montreal’s top prospect?

Back in 2016, the Habs did something that the draft that on its own was largely meaningless. But it started a pattern and the results of that are actually pretty interesting.
