Samuel MontembeaultLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG274 of 486 1AMontembeault was presented the challenge of having to battle for the net in Montreal this season, and earn a new contract for the future. He's accomplished both goals in recent weeks. He's appeared in 10 games in 23/24 and posted a 2.73 GAA and .910 save % overall. In his last five game segment (ending Nov 29th) his game went to another level. His save percentage was .931% over that span of games. Big in the net. Athletic. Crease composure / tracking / rebound control / overall focus has improved. Much more consistent. Has the ability to steal games for the Habs. Waiver pick up from the Florida Panthers who is trending towards being Habs #1A in future.30 nov. 20231 déc. 2023
Samuel MontembeaultLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG273 of 482 1BMontembeault is playing for a new contract. He's a pending UFA who the Canadiens would like to sign to an extension. He will be making his tenth start of the season versus Colorado. He's starting to separate himself from the goalie logjam in Montreal. His overall stats - 9GP - 4W -4L - 1OTL - 2.81 GAA - .908 save % Big in the net. Butterfly/Athletic style. Good feet. Above average gloves. Competes to make second / third stops. Full sixty minutes without giving up a 50/50 goal remains the challenge to get him to the next level of possibly being a full time #1. 24 nov. 202325 nov. 2023
Josh AndersonLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD291 of 177 L3Scored 21 goals last season but he's struggled offensively to start the 23/24 season. Ironically, his overall TOI is up - year over year - Anderson is averaging 17:02 TOI - 13:09 ES - 3:42 PP - 0:10 PK - Middle bumper on PP - A physical presence who extends plays in the hard areas. Solid skater. Plays with a presence. Credited with 37 hits and 6 shot blocks in 19GP Hasn't scored a goal. Only has 2 assists ... but he has directed 42 shots on goal. Plays hard between the whistles. Makes sure opponents don't take liberties on smaller, skill players on Habs roster. Has enough game to skate on any one of the top three lines.22 nov. 202324 nov. 2023
Cole CaufieldLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD223 of 382 L1Caufield has contributed offensively, and played to his identity, through his first 17GP. He's scored 5g-10a. Half of his production comes on the PP. He has 3 GWG. Caufield averages 19:02 TOI - 14:36 ES - 4:25 PP. Taking a closer look at his overall game reveals a very streaky scorer who has only (1) goal in his last 10GP ... and it came on the PP. He has 6 assists in the segment ... 3 at ES and 3 on the PP. Monitor his impact at even strength. His battle. His vision to find open space. His catch and release directing pucks on net. He's a goal scorer who thrives on the PP, but the Habs could use more from him at ES.16 nov. 202318 nov. 2023
Juraj SlafkovskyLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD196 of 677 L2Although his offense has been slow to arrive at the NHL level, Slafkovsky is evolving in several other categories. Through thirteen games he's averaging 14:40 TOI - 12:15 ES - 2:23 PP He's only scored 1G - 1A, but he's been credited with 21 hits and 11 shot blocks Slafkovsky is leaner than he was when he was drafted first overall in 2022. He's ten pounds lighter. It's clear that his fitness has changed. He has prepared differently and it has gone to his legs. His straight line skating is explosive. He easily tracks up and down the full 200ft. His spatial awareness has also improved. He's more aware of his surroundings. He's not exposing himself to heavy contact as much as last year. In order for his offense to go to another level he needs to recognize he's a big body with a long reach. His catch and release needs to be quicker. He can't afford to take an extra step off the flank, or between the dots in the offensive zone. He needs to get pucks on net immediately and follow up on rebounds. There's been a ton of growth in categories most fans of the game don't recognize. Gaining the edge off the rush, and asserting himself off the cycle / taking more plays to the net is the next area to monitor.9 nov. 202310 nov. 2023
Michael MathesonLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG292 of 288 P1Sometimes players take time to settle in with new teams. It takes a year, sometimes more, to earn the trust of the organization and their coaching staff. Matheson is on his third NHL team, and it happens to be his home town club in Montreal. He's part of the leadership group of this young team. Matheson has always been an elite skater. He's capable of leading the rush or joining as an extra layer offensively. Defensively he's quick to space. If he does get caught up ice he has the quickness to track back and catch the play / defend his zone. Matheson isn't a perfect player, nobody is, but his impact his being felt throughout the Canadiens lineup. He's producing offense and being deployed in all situations. He matches up against all of the top players from the opposition. Consider these stats to start the season : 7GP - 2G-3A-5PTS (-1) 26:00 TOI - 17:01 ES - 4:31 PP - 4:27 PK 22 Shots on goal 6 Hits - 21 Shot blocks24 oct. 202328 oct. 2023

Kirby DachLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC221 of 181 L2Still developing. Taking on the role of a top six forward on a young team. Tall. Rangy. Doesn't play a power style. Uses his length to his advantage when extending plays in the offensive zone and shielding pucks from defenders. Combination shooter / distributor. Averaged 18:29 TOI in (22/23). Credited with 107 SOG - 53 Hits - 38 Shot Blocks Projects as a long-term 2F. Needs to find a way to win more draws. His average (38%) last season stands out.11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Jake EvansLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC272 of 274 L4Competes when his number is called. There was a time, in his development, he projected as a point producer. A point producer at the AHL level. He brings some depth scoring to the Montreal roster. Generally deployed at ES and PK. Wins 52% of his draws. Averaged 14:29 TOI in (22/23) Plays a light style but he's willing to get in the shooting lanes on the PK and had 41 shot blocks last season. Bottom six forward who can slide into 3F if needed. Moves well. Not elite in any one category. Has battled some injuries in the past.11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Tanner PearsonLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAG311 of 178 L3Arrives in Montreal after missing most of last season with injury in Vancouver. Veteran goal scorer. Should provide some leadership to the younger prospects. His last full season was (21/22). Has the hockey IQ, and commitment, to be used in a variety of roles. Not a punishing forward, but capable of taking a bump along the wall to extend plays. Has an accurate release. Leans shooter more than distributor. When he gets a look at the net he looks to get the puck on net ASAP. Might take some time to get his legs under him again but if he approaches the way he played two years ago he will be used in all situations.11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Jesse YlönenLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD241 of 175 L4Bottom six forward who has the skill to slide into a middle six role if needed. Not big. Not small. Not physical. Not exceptionally skilled. A bit vanilla at times. His defensive zone detail, and secondary battle, has room to go to another consistent level. Moves well. Has better than average puck touch. There's lot's to like. Has to define his game. In (22/23) he played 37 games. Averaged 13:26 TOI. Most of his ice came at ES and PP#2. Only 43 SOG - 14 Hits - 28 Shot blocks11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Michael PezzettaLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAG252 of 273 L4Depth, role player who brings energy and enthusiasm. Good skater. Quick. Easily identified element. Plays a physical, high octane game that is geared towards disrupting opponents on and off the play. A pest. Averaged 9:19 TOI in (22/23) All of his ice time, with the exception of a splash of penalty killing occasionally, comes at ES. Credited with 239 hits and 28 shot blocks last season. 4F who won't back down from a challenge11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Rafaël Harvey-PinardLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAG241 of 179 L4Somewhat undersize forward who has brings an extra layer of offense to the Canadiens roster.

He averaged 17:13 TOI and was credited with 58 SOG - 57 Hits - 56 Shot Blocks More impressive was the fact he was (+7). Role player with better than average offensive potential overall. A proven scorer at the Junior and AHL levels.11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Cole CaufieldLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD222 of 379 L1Shooter. Goal scorer. Difference maker with the puck on his stick in scoring areas. Quick release. Shoots the puck hard and accurately. Difficult to defend with the way he shields pucks close to his body before directing them on net. Good skater. Not a pure burner in open ice.

Juraj SlafkovskyLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD195 of 676 L3It's going to take time for Juraj to adjust to the North American game and contribute consistent results on and off the play. Huge frame. Power forward. Shoots the puck a ton when time and space allows. Leans shooter more than distributor. Extends plays along the wall. Absorbs contact from more than one opponent keeping plays alive.

Alex NewhookLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC221 of 175 L3Works when his number is called. Change of scenery might result in more offense in Montreal compared to his time in Colorado. Plays quick and fast. Can be a threat off the rush. Not tall, but sturdy strong. Leans shooter/finisher more than distributor. Played all 82 games in Colorado (22/23). Averaged 13:57 TOI. Deployed at ES and PP#2. Has a chance to play a 2F/3F combo role in Montreal. Expect to see his minutes increase. Defensive zone detail ranges. Needs to improve on his 41% faceoff winning percentage.11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Nick SuzukiLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC242 of 286 L2Captain in Montreal. Leader for a young, developing, core of players. In (22/23) he played all 82 games. Averaged 21:05 TOI and was deployed in all situations. Creative. Crafty. Playmaker more than shooter. Directed 162 SOG. Distributor from the flank on the PP. Three zone detail is reliable.

Brendan GallagherLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD312 of 277 L3Limited to 37 games in (22/23) due to injury. Averaged 14:16 TOI. Deployed at ES and PP. Aggressive with the puck on his stick. When he gets a look at the net he has a 'shoot first' approach. Credited with 93 SOG in the 37GP. Although his minutes are down he still plays a valuable role. A pesky player who isn't shy about hanging around the crease. Gets under the skin of opponents. Tenacious, not overly physical. Only 18 hits and 13 shot blocks. A lot of miles on his tires but a player the younger prospects can look up to in Montreal. Competes shift in and shift out. Impact is beginning to range.11 oct. 202312 oct. 2023
Logan MaillouxLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD201 of 181 P2First-year pro. Big body - right shot - logged an absolute ton of ice time playing for the London Knights (OHL) Rangy - good skater - can attack off the rush in open ice and has the ability to beat opponents off the edge - shoots the puck with authority Defending detail will evolve as he matures - there are times he jumps to plays too quickly on the half wall in his zone - allowing opponent to spill off him along the boards and take pucks to the net - all about timing Not punishing physically but certainly capable of handling weight Needs time but he could end up as a 2PD who logs significant minutes at ES and PP.29 sept. 20236 oct. 2023
David SavardLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD322 of 274 P3Veteran / right shot / defenceman who does a lot of the heavy lifting for Montreal In (22/23) he averaged 22:23 TOI. Almost all of his ice time comes at ES and PK. He matches up all night versus top six opponents and rolls over the boards as part of the primary penalty killing unit. Skating is average for the NHL game but he makes up for it by understanding his limitations and keeping the game simple. On the PK he rarely rotates to far out of position - electing to keep the play to the perimeter and defend between the hash marks. Credited with only 61 hits last season - but his 176 shot blocks led the team. A mostly 'Defensive D' who does occasionally chip in with the offense.29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Arber XhekajLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG223 of 379 P3One of the biggest surprises for Montreal in (22/23) Played 51 games before sustaining injury Established himself as one of the toughest customers in the entire NHL. Huge frame. Physical. Punishes opponents. Never backs down from a challenge. Averaged 15:16 TOI - with the majority of his ice time coming at ES and PP. Rarely used on the PK. Has a deceptive / heavy shot from distance. Capable role on PP#2. Reliable distributor at ES and PP. Still developing. Hard match-ups on the road (especially) can be a challenge at times. His gap timing and containment in small spaces has room to go to another level. Overall, however, he is off to a solid (defined) start to his career. '2-way / Physical' defender29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
David ReinbacherLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD183 of 385 P1Has the potential to be a top pairing NHL 'D' in time. His first NHL training camp in Montreal went as well as could be expected. He didn't look out of place on the smaller ice surface and played to his identity. Brings sound three zone awareness. Sees the ice. Absorbs contact to make plays. Pinches down appropriately in the offensive zone. Has the size and length to keep opponents to the perimeter. Big. Strong. Smart. Right shot. Montreal doesn't have to rush him. They have a solid young group of defenceman on their roster already. He will be used in all situations playing for Kloten in the Swiss league. Continue to monitor and update throughout the season.29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Jordan HarrisLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG234 of 481 P2Trending up Somewhat undersize - '2-way D' who brings high end compete and sound game management. Played 65 games in (22-23). Averaged 18:39 TOI. Deployed at ES and PK. He will be better for the experience. Crafty / smart / extends plays in the offensive zone / active / sees the ice Defensively he is the kind of defender who relies on jumping on pucks ahead of opponents - he isn't physical - has an active stick / doesn't quit on trying to win pucks back / rotates into shooting lanes to block shots - credited with 53 hits and 98 shot blocks in the 65GP29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Justin BarronLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD212 of 278 P3Still developing - teases with the look of a player who could end up as a solid 2PD - other times he struggles to execute with the puck / lacks off (and on) the puck battle defensively Ended the (22/23) playing for Team Canada at the World Championships and looked capable of quarterbacking the PP. He has also been thrust into the role with the Canadiens occasionally. Leans '2-way D ' with a secondary transitional element. His hockey IQ is in place. He has sound spatial awareness in all three zones. Additionally he has a good release from distance , will pinch down to keep pucks alive , and makes plays moving the puck out of his zone and in the offensive zone. Issue is consistency right now. He competes - just needs to execute better at times.29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Gustav LindströmLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD241 of 161 MLPlayed 36 games for the Detroit Red Wings in (22/23) Averaged 14:10 TOI - was not used in special teams Depth defenceman - potential minor league recall Tall / lean / not physical Capable distributor Short skating stride is average for the NHL game. Small area agility and quickness is a shade off. '2-way D' - right shot29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Johnathan KovacevicLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD261 of 171 P3Consistent competitor who gives all he has game in and game out No frills - leans 'Defensive / 2-way D' Almost all of his TOI comes at ES and PK In (22/23) he averaged 17:25 TOI. A bottom pairing defenceman with size and length. Skating is average plus. His small area quickness is the same. Uses his long reach and frame to keep opponents to the perimeter. Low risk. Doesn't run around looking for a big hit or take too many chances offensively. The kind of 'D' who compliments a more active partner. Credited with 93 hits and 86 shot blocks.29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Kaiden GuhleLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG213 of 387 P2Coming off his first taste of the NHL in (22/23) Played 44 games - Averaged 20:30 TOI - used in all situations Fantastic skater - high end compete - can play both sides - quick to space defensively / interrupting opponents progress Active on the offensive blue line - keeps plays alive with responsible read/react/ pinches - plus shot - he can beat goalies from range and has some deception walking the blue line Off the rush he also adds an extra layer coming late - Plenty of physical push back as well - Future TPD - learning on the job - he will have some nights that show his youth but the good far outweighs the bad - hard to play against - in the 48 games he was credited with 84 hits and 77 shot blocks29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Michael MathesonLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG291 of 284 P1Missed time with injury in (22/23) but had by far his most productive season overall when he was healthy - 48GP - 8G -26A - averaged 24:07 TOI and was deployed in all situations An elite skater who can lead the breakout on his own from the defensive zone - Off the rush threat with a head of steam on offensive zone entries - On the PP he leans distributor more than shooter but he's capable of getting pucks on net from distance - A motion player who will pinch down to keep plays alive and can track back to catch opponents when he's late with an exit Part of the leadership group in Montreal - Leans 2PD on most NHL teams but he's a 1PD for the Habs - gets himself into trouble when trying to do too much with the puck / beat a second opponent / not take the easy outlet - Competes - Sneaky physical at times - 53 hits and 80 shot blocks in the 48GP29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Chris WidemanLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD332 of 277 P3Depth defender in Montreal Veteran 'utility' player who has also taken some shifts at forward in the past In (22/23) he dressed for 46 games and averaged 13:30 TOI at ES and PP ... rarely used on the PK - Good skater - quick to space - reliable IQ - undersize / area defender - isn't going to lean on opponents but he will get in the shooting lanes to block shots (25 hits / 51 blocks) Leans 2-way / transitional 'D' Better suited as a #7 than a regular - distributor more than shooter.29 sept. 20235 oct. 2023
Samuel MontembeaultLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG262 of 476 2AHas been building towards full time NHL duty for the past couple seasons. Trending #2A who is capable of playing 30-35 games. Has not proven he is worthy of splitting time 50/50 or playing north of 50 games. Butterfly / Athletic style - good feet - quick pads - good reflexes and the ability to make saves with blocker or catcher but there are times his timing / dropping into butterfly is marginally off and he gets beat caught 'in between' / not set to make the stop. His first five minutes of every period need to be monitored / 'start on time' - 'focused from puck drop' / Still relatively young by goalie standards - has worked hard on his game and earned a chance - Montreal is a rebuilding team that gives up more quality chances against than most NHL clubs - started 40 games (due to injury to starter Jake Allen) in (22/23) 3.42 GAA - .901%29 sept. 20234 oct. 2023
Jake AllenLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG331 of 183 1BIndividual stats don't jump off the page as positive from (22/23) - but come with the understanding the team in front of him is young and give up more Grade A chances than teams with more experience .Good size - butterfly - generally sound rebound control - lateral tracking (when play is in front of him) is sound - has some difficulty finding pucks below the goal line / tracking plays working low to high - Competes - no easy nights in the Montreal net as the team goes through rebuild - average plus glove hand - has an excellent blocker hand / quick to take away upper portion of the net - has struggled with injury for stretches - 42GP - 3.55 GAA - .891% in (22/23) - two more years left on current contract - $3.85M AAV29 sept. 20234 oct. 2023
Cayden PrimeauLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG241 of 165 #3Good size - more fluid in his crease - better side to side tracking when play is in front of him Has found success and general consistency at the AHL level but its been slow to arrive at the NHL level Butterfly / Positional goalie who competes to make saves but has stretches when he has trouble with the pace at the NHL level - resulting in over compensating / playing too deep in his net / kicking out too many pucks for second chances At this stage of his development he looks more like a #3G than a full time NHL goalie29 sept. 20234 oct. 2023
Jacob FowlerLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG181 of 173 1BGood size goaltender who takes up a lot of net Has a solid foundation of skill - Leans butterfly / positional - decent gloves - When things are in control in his zone he squares up and fronts the puck / play very well Rebound control ranges at times but it's not an area of huge concern When things get hectic around his crease his lateral quickness is tested - there are times he ends up leaning forward in his butterfly / losing some of his body control / Plays the puck well - going to an excellent college program - proven winner in USHL19 mai 202314 juin 2023
David ReinbacherLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD182 of 373 P1Highly coveted RS 'D' who has the skill set to be deployed in a variety of roles -.Brings size and skill - Active taking away time and space with his reach and stature - jumps to the half wall to kill plays on the PK - Times his gaps well defending his blue line Like any young player he has room to improve his angling and recoveries when pucks spill down the boards following a battle - Leans distributor more than shooter on the PP but has a rocket from distance that he gets away quickly and accurately Thinks the game very well - NHL top pairing 'D' in time11 mars 202313 juin 2023
Jakub DobesLogo de Canadiens de MontréalG214 of 476 1BHis stats went down marginally this season, but he was also called upon to make more high danger - and multiple sequence - stops this year compared to last. Big body goalie. Leans butterfly / hybrid. Good feet. Quick pads / low net. Gloves are average plus. Needs to work on tracking puck into his catcher and picking pucks clean. His blocker is the weaker side. There are times he is late picking up and directing shots from distance on his blocker side. High end compete. Ability to steal games. One more year of college will benefit his game before turning pro. Fantastic foundation to work with and build upon before NHL.11 mars 202322 mars 2023
Owen BeckLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC193 of 379 M6Continues to display high end detail, awareness and compete. Outstanding in the face-off circle. Wins key draws in all three zones. Positionally sound. Above the play in the offensive zone when his group doesn't have control of the puck. Quick release when he finds pucks in scoring areas. Blocks shots on the penalty-kill. Plays with pace. More likely to contribute secondary scoring at the NHL level than top six output. Coaches dream. Can be thrust into any in game scenario. High end (3F) who will skate mostly at ES and PK - maybe some secondary PP.16 mars 202322 mars 2023
Filip MesarLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD193 of 361 T6On any given night, at the junior level in Kitchener, he has the skill to be a difference maker and take over games offensively. Has the ability to play quick and fast. Fantastic puck touch. He can beat opponents coming off the boards or in transition 1vs 1. In overtime he values the extra time and space playing 3vs3 Very little push back / bump to his game. Defensive detail and commitment ranges wildly. There will be nights he drives coaches crazy with his lack of push on the back check and in his zone. Offense wins out. Can't teach his skill set. The rest of his game will need to evolve as he matures. Has to play elevated role and be used on the PP.12 mars 202322 mars 2023
Riley KidneyLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC193 of 370 T6Dynamic scorer at the junior level. Fifth in QMJHL scoring. Elite vision. Creative in small areas. Used in all situations in Gatineau - but not likely to PK at the pro level. His catch and release / quick stick making plays in the offensive zone / is a unique element that speaks to his skill and vision Average / average plus three zone detail No doubt his element is offense. Top 6 NHL upside is possible. At worst he slides into (3F) and finds a role on one of the PP units. Trending up. Difference maker on any given night.12 mars 202322 mars 2023
Joshua RoyLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAG193 of 375 M6Everything about his game is trending up overall. Set the bar with his performance with Team Canada at WJC in Halifax. Can be deployed in a variety of roles. Three zone effort and detail ranges in the QMJHL but he's a big game player who brings his best in pressure moments. Gets in the lane on the PK. Blocks shots. Pressures pucks up ice. Plays physical when required. Leans goal scorer / finisher more than playmaker. Swiss Army knife. Character and commitment has improved drastically as he matures.12 mars 202322 mars 2023
Adam EngströmLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDD192 of 269 P2Averaged between (14:00 - 22:00) minutes of ice time in recent ten game segment. Primary ice time comes at even strength but he has seen spot duty on the PP and PK with the men's team. His game looks more confident as the season winds down. Handles the puck very well. Sees the ice. Launches the attack a variety of ways - outlets or skating on his own. Can be deceptive on the offensive blue line. Finds back door seams / presents himself as option in offensive zone. Good quickness out of the gate. Straight line speed is sound. Agility / turns / pivots to his right side have room for improvement. Trending up. 2-Way / Top 4 is possible.20 mars 202322 mars 2023
Juraj SlafkovskyLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD184 of 664 T6In the ten game segment, before suffering a season ending injury, Slafkovsky's ice time ranged between (11:00 - 16:00). He was being used at even strength and the power-play. he was generating (2 - 3) shots on goal and asserting himself physically (2 - 4 hits per game and (2) shot blocks) He was learning on the job. Unfortunately he went pointless over that same span of games. He still projects as a top six / power winger. His three zone detail and ability to read the smaller ice surface in North America / make plays / avoid exposing himself physically in the hard areas along the boards and cutting to middle of the ice has a way to go. Needs time.9 mars 202322 mars 2023

Jayden StrubleLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG215 of 562 P3Hard nosed 2-way defender who was used in all situations (secondary PP) at the college level but is very unlikely to be a power-play contributor at the pro level. Good feet, quick to space on the penalty kill, gaps up aggressively in his lane, competes Less is more with the puck at times - best when he keeps things simple. Has the ability to absorb contact and still make outlets from his zone He will require time at the AHL level to work on finer details / small area puck plays / there have been times he tosses pucks into dangerous areas in his zone when under duress.4 mars 202315 mars 2023

Surprisingly quick and fast for his stature. His list weight is now 238lbs. There is no question he is capable at the NHL level from the hash marks down in the offensive zone.

Nicolas BeaudinLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG231 of 149 RLA light / 2-way / Transitional defender. He can QB a PP unit at the minor league level and has always had the ability / fitness to log big minutes if required At the AHL level his defending has been average overall. When the game gets heavy along the boards or out front his net he struggles to match up due to his stature.

Already displaying ability to pressure opponents up ice as F1 Along the boards and the crease he bumps people off the play with relative ease. Sneaky skill in tight areas when extending plays or creating turnovers. More playmaking upside than he has displayed in the past. Off the rush, with the puck on his stick, he has the pace to get the edge and drive. Small details, defensively and on small ice, need time.15 sept. 202226 sept. 2022
Jan MysakLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC201 of 265 M6His game has evolved. There was a time in his development that his off the puck detail and defensive zone awareness were massive concerns and areas in need of significant improvement. He has elevated his detail and shown he can PK on occasion and take key defensive zone draws. His pure element is offense. He has a quick release and can score from the flank and the interior. Mysak is more of a shooter than a playmaker. Remains a prospect who has to play up in the lineup to have impact. Added strength required for NHL20 août 202213 sept. 2022

His upside will be determined by how much more strength and power he adds.2 févr. 20223 juill. 2022
Lane HutsonLogo de Canadiens de MontréalDG181 of 377 P2Size will be the discussion. If he can add 20lbs in the coming years he will have no problem at the NHL level.

Filip MesarLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD181 of 363 T6An undersized quick, fast, and skilled forward who plays his off-wing. Filip is dangerous off the rush. He transports the puck effectively and looks to create offense. At times he will use the entire width of the ice off the attack which makes him more difficult to defend but also a challenge to skate with on on the same line. On the PP he is equal parts distributor and shooter. His opens up from the flank and has a quick release. He's light along the boards and in traffic. Line mates will have to do the heavy lifting. He is not a player who will extend plays in the hard areas. Pure offense. Lacks detail defensively. The kind of player who values space. Off the rush he uses the entire width of the ice then uses his quickness to jump to the middle of the ice and get pucks to the net. On the PP he is equal parts distributor / shooter coming from the weak side. Not the kind of player who will extend plays in the hard areas. Quick release in traffic is attractive element.

Juraj excelled playing against his own age group, had a fantastic Olympics, and contributed in Liiga before ending his season with an excellent showing at the Men's World Championships. A big body / power forward frame. A sound skater who has shown more attack off the rush as the season progressed. He uses his strength to extend plays along the boards and takes pucks to the net.

An interesting statistic that has remained constant is his shooting %. His year over year shot generation (125 / 143 / 246 ) resulting in scoring % ( 12.8 / 15.4 / 15.4 ). His element is offense. He has been described as more shooter than distributor but he has been more of a playmaker overall this season. Skating is sound. At times he shows an extra gear.

Not the quickest laterally but he makes up for it by being big in the net. Glove hand is average plus. At times he swats at the puck instead of absorbing it. Low blocker (around knee high) is an area of weakness that requires attention. Plays the puck very well. Can outlet long range. When he is on his game he doesn't stray outside the paint or his posts.

A competitive player. He works but his overall 3 zone detail has a long way to go.

Lias AnderssonLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC231 of 149 RLA perplexing player who is still young enough to be considered a prospect. Moves fine. His pace has improved since his draft year. His element, as a draft, forecasted to be a mid-range contributor offensively. He produced as a junior and playing pro in Sweden. There have been some significant set backs with his game at the NHL level. To date he has not solidified himself as an NHL regular / played to a specific identity. Three zone detail is pretty sound. Goes to net looking for pucks. Decent in transition. Worth a 'buy-low' price. Only 23 years old.2 mars 20223 mars 2022
Jake EvansLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC251 of 250 L4Has worked hard to become an NHL player over the past several seasons A proven scorer at the AHL level who has turned himself into more of a 2-way / checking / PK forward at the NHL level Doesn't bring much in the way of a physical element.

Joel ArmiaLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD281 of 151 L4After a very good playoff last spring/summer he looked poised to take his game to a more consistent level. Unfortunately that has not materialized. A big body forward who can create havoc when he is moving his feet and using his large frame to disrupt opponents. Has shown the ability to be a reliable match up / penalty killer who can bring secondary offense. The bottom line is you don't know what version of this player you get on a regular basis.21 févr. 202222 févr. 2022
Christian DvorakLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC261 of 151 M6Currently injured It's been a difficult year Has not established himself at the top of the lineup as the second line 'go too' centreman Everything has been off. His handles have been inconsistent. He has had a tough time stringing consistent results together. His 5vs5 play has ranged. At times he has been invisible.

Cole CaufieldLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD211 of 350 T6It's been a struggle this season The entire team around him has had a tough year This player is much better than his stats reflect Easily identified. He's a shooter. Elite hands in tight space. Quick release. A threat on the PP. At even strength he has struggled to be involved enough offensively. Not enough touches. Not enough results for a player with his offensive element. He will always lean offense and have some holes in his game defensively.

Nick SuzukiLogo de Canadiens de MontréalC221 of 271 T3Has endured a challenging year. His stats have fallen off but they don't tell the entire story. He has not had the same amount of support surrounding him this season. Chalk this season up to a learning experience and hopefully a 'one off' Top end skill and mind. He can be used in all situations and trusted on the defensive side of the ledger. Added weight and strength has resulted in more stability in the hard areas. Remains a key piece of the puzzle to build around moving forward Can be used in all situations.21 févr. 202222 févr. 2022
Brendan GallagherLogo de Canadiens de MontréalAD291 of 261 M6Heart and soul player who leaves everything on the ice Competes. Cares. Gives everything he has.
