–
The Canadiens were evidently pleased with what they saw from Otto Leskinen last summer at development camp as they announced on Tuesday that they have signed the undrafted free agent to a two-year, entry-level contract.

April was a tough month in Laval as there was minimal scoring over the final couple of weeks of their season. The same can’t be said for some of their junior prospects as they get the spotlight in our monthly three stars.
The championship series across the Canadian Hockey League are about to get underway and the Habs will be represented in each of the three leagues.
Another year has come to an end in Laval and injuries certainly limited them down the stretch. However, a few forwards still had strong finishes to earn top marks in our fourth quarter grades.
Laval wrapped up their second AHL season with a trio of games on the road. While they struggled earlier in the week, they at least were able to end on a positive note.
Laval’s home schedule came to an end last week and while they ended it on a winning note, their first two games left a lot to be desired.
The month of March was a rough one for Laval but several of their other prospects had strong months, earning them the top billing in our prospects of the month.
At some point, the lack of offensive talent in Laval was going to catch up with them despite their decent play in recent weeks. The final week of March turned out to be when the struggles returned.
Sundays usually aren’t busy for the Habs in terms of transactions but this one is an exception. After inking Ryan Poehling earlier in the day, they signed goalie Cayden Primeau to a three-year, entry-level deal.
Ryan Poehling’s time at the NCAA level has come to an end as the Habs announced that he has signed a three-year, entry-level contract. The first year of the deal will be burned this season.
