–
Most of Montreal’s prospects saw limited action in the month of April but some still managed to make their mark. Here are our 3 Stars from the past month.

The Habs have been busy lately signing centre prospects and continued that trend on Wednesday, signing Lukas Vejdemo to a two-year, entry-level contract.
It had been speculated as a possibility in recent days and on Tuesday, it was made official that executive Rick Dudley is leaving the Habs to join the Hurricanes.
The fourth quarter of the 2017-18 season featured a lot of players simply playing out the stretch but there were some notable performances which are highlighted in our grades, beginning with the goaltenders and defencemen.
The ping pong balls have been drawn and the Habs now know where their first selection will fall at the draft in June. While they didn’t land the top spot, they did move up to third overall.
The Habs have once again dipped into the junior free agent market, inking centre Alexandre Alain to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Following a season in which they finished dead last, something had to give in Laval. That was the case on Tuesday as the Canadiens relieved Sylvain Lefebvre of his duties as head coach.
Laval failed to save their best for last as a pair of losses capped their season while solidifying their dead-last position in the AHL. It wasn’t all bad, however, as a pair of players received some good news to end their year on a higher note.
The final full month of the regular season for most of Montreal’s prospects saw a couple of newcomers make their mark to earn spots in our March Prospect 3 Stars.
Although they weren’t able to burn the first year of his contract last week, the Habs were still able to get Jake Evans under contract, inking him to a two-year, entry-level deal on Monday.
