The 6-foot-2 (188cm), 199-pound (90kg) behemoth is said to be one of the NHL's elite future quarterbacks.

On offense, Rem Pitlick is surprising. While Nashville and Minnesota resigned him, the Habs gave him a shot in 2021-22.

Ylönen is the closest to a regular position in Montreal. He even played a series of games with the big club in 2021-22.

His great speed will make him a formidable player. At 6 feet (183cm) and only 167 pounds (76kg), he will need to bulk up.

  Sean Farrell

Sean Farrell, the Canadian's 4th round pick in 2020, has just started his college career. We may wait a few years for this left winger.

His progression suggests a nice offensive potential. However, he is only 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds (79 kg).

Jan Mysak has impressed over the past two years in Laval. This 6-foot (183 cm), 180-pound (82 kg) center is likely to be with the CH before long.

Unanswered question, however: who will be the long-term goalie? Cayden Primeau has left a doubt in the minds of many this season.
