Now that the full ranking of the top 25 Montreal Canadiens players under 25 years of age has been revealed, we’ll look at the biggest movers on the list from last year.
Usually the lists of risers and fallers are close to mirror images of one another; a few players making substantial moves in either direction, then quickly tapering off to shifts of just a few slots. This year, however, with 52 players to rank versus last year’s 41, the general trend is downward for those we ranked a year ago. Add to that the fact that six of 2022’s top 14 players and three of the top six were new additions to the organization, a lot of room needed to be made in the order to accommodate them.
