Welcome back to Catching The Torch, where we keep an eye on the Montreal Canadiens’ North American prospects and how their development is progressing week by week.
After evaluating the Hockey East division’s prospects last week, it’s time to move on to two more divisions in which the Habs hold promising prospects. We’ll start with Sean Farrell’s season grade for Harvard University in the ECAC, and follow it up with a breakdown of Blake Biondi and Brett Stapley’s seasons for Minnesota-Duluth and Denver, respectively, in the NCHC division.
Before we get into it, I’d like to present a preamble on one of the Habs’ latest acquisition, Ty Smilanic, who plays in Farrell’s division for the Quinnipiac Bobcats.
