It’s
always nice to have something to look forward to. For the Montreal Canadiens,
the prospect pool is a group teeming with potential for the organization.
Whether currently unsigned or honing their craft in the AHL/ECHL, the depth
chart is packed with NHL “Probables”.
Once
considered an organizational weakness, centremen now lead the way by quantity
amongst forwards by way of the 2009 Entry Draft in which 5 centres were picked.
The Canadiens boast a well rounded forward group, in which there are the
offensively minded (Ben Maxwell, Maxim Trunev), the defensively inclined (Tom
Pyatt, Joonas Nattinen), and the gritty and tough (Ryan White, Steve Quailer).
Defense is also well covered in most aspects. The key strengths are in puck
moving defensemen (P.K Subban, David Fischer), and physical punishers (Alex
Henry, Greg Pateryn), whereas purely defensive defensemen are hard to find.
The only position not covered with NHL potential is goaltending. None of the
Habs’ goalie prospects are projected to be NHL starters; a point solidified with
the recent acquisition of veteran netminder Curtis Sanford to be the emergency
callup to Montreal.
There will be stars, and there will be busts, and there will be those that fall
somewhere in between. But for now, the future is bright. Have a look at all of
