Montreal Canadiens fans don’t get a lot of breaking news in the month of August so here at A Winning Habit, we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 31 prospects currently in the Habs organization. Each player was carefully deliberated by our writers and ranked accordingly. Today we continue with the 27th ranked prospect, Rhett Pitlick.
Rhett Pitlick, the son of former NHL defenseman Lance Pitlick, was selected by the Canadiens in the 5th round of the 2019 NHL Draft. At the time, the 5’9”, 161 lb left winger was coming off a short but impressive stint with the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League, in which he had put up five points in seven games during the 2018-19 season.
