Rookie camp is officially behind us. The Montreal Canadiens had some positive things take place for them from their young players, and with the tides turning towards preparation for the 2018-19 NHL regular season, adjustments needed to be made. Unfortunately, that comes with player cuts, and the Habs announced that eight players will be going back to junior.
Aleksi Anttalainen, Stephen Dhillon, Cole Fonstad, Brandon Hagel, Cameron Hillis, Samuel Houde, Alexander Katerinakis, and Allan McShane will all be returning to their CHL teams. Fonstad, McShane, Hillis, and Houde are the drafted prospects of the group.
