The Montreal Canadiens are looking to the mid-term future with enthusiasm. Youngsters like Juraj Slakovsky will be knocking on the door soon enough.

Montreal Canadiens prospects

Selected first overall in the most recent draft, it's not impossible that Slafkovsky could make the cut this year.

The Montreal Canadiens' hopes

Giant size, he will sooner or later answer a crying need for the Habs: a big talented forward!

Mesar is also said to be very talented, so much so that the Habs didn't mind his small size. The right winger is only 5'10 and 165 pounds.

In that same 2022 auction, the Canadiens selected another player in the first round: small forward Filip Mesar.

The Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Jan Mysak is a 6' center who played with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the Ontario Junior League. He also played a few games with the Laval Rocket, where he was limited to two goals.

Montreal Canadiens prospects

Selected in the 2nd round of the 2020 draft, Mysak played in the big leagues for a few years before coming to America.

Montreal Canadiens prospects

Jordan Harris played a few games with the Montreal Canadiens last year after completing his university studies.

Montreal Canadiens prospects

A third-round pick in 2017, Harris is close to being mature and should take a bigger bite out of this season.

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Another who is in this situation is Jesse Ylonen. A young 22-year-old veteran, he's coming up on a crossroads.

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Ylonen played about 15 games last year with the big club. A 2nd round pick in 2018, he is expected to do his fair share of work.

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Raphaël Harvey-Pinard has the will to win rooted in his heart. A 7th round pick, he will try to outwit the experts.

Montreal Canadiens' hopes

His 56 points with the Rocket last year also allowed him to play 4 games with the big club.

Montreal Canadiens hopefuls

In the back, the Habs are in the car. Logan Mailloux will be good, but Kaiden Guhle is exceptional.

Montreal Canadiens prospects

Guhle, a first-round pick in 2020, will be a dominant quarterback in the NHL.

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Will we see him with the Habs soon? It's hard to say, but in the medium term, we're waiting for him!

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

In front of the net, big questions remain. Can Cayden Primeau ever replace Carey Price?

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Primeau has had a few chances in the NHL so far, but hasn't been able to get his head out of the game.

Montreal Canadiens' hopes

In the American League, however, his last sequence in 2022 was successful.

Montreal Canadiens' hopes

Still, replacing Carey Price is a tall order. Perhaps another goalie should be drafted?

Montreal Canadiens' hopefuls

Given the current state of the forces, we can already wonder who will have the chance to step up to the podium and pull on the tricolour jersey in 2023!
