The Montreal Canadiens have more young talent in the organization now than perhaps at any point over the last 10 years. After a few solid years of filling up the cupboards, many prospects are either set to start their professional careers, or have the option to do so.
There is the possibility that within a few weeks, Emil Heineman will be back in Sweden, Kaiden Guhle will be in the NHL, and Juraj Slafkovsky will be in the AHL. There is the possibility that Owen Beck goes back to the OHL while Filip Mesar goes to Laval, and Miguël Tourigny heads to Trois-Rivières.
