The Montreal Canadiens themselves have another two weeks to fight for a playoff spot; however, with a shorter regular season schedule, the Canadian Hockey League is on the verge of getting their post-season started. The last two drafts have given the organization, as well as the fan base, a number of prospects to pay attention to and a number of them had fantastic years. Trades and free agent signings have worked out in favour of the Habs in that department also, and it’ll be interesting to see how these young players progress down the line.
Montreal had nine prospects in the CHL spread across the Ontario Hockey League, Western Hockey League, and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
