The Habs had three junior-aged players on an NHL contract this past season, bringing the oft-mentioned ‘slide rule’ into play once again. Here is a breakdown of the changes to their contracts.

While it took a bit longer than some expected, the Habs have indeed agreed to terms with Oliver Kapanen, announcing on Saturday that they’ve signed the forward to a three-year, entry-level deal.

Owen Beck has shown plenty of promise since being drafted two years ago. He brings back memories of a certain impactful former Canadiens forward in Tomas Plekanec.

It’s well-known at this point that the Canadiens have ample depth on the left side of their back end. How do things shake out for the rest of the organization?

Saturday was the deadline for Montreal to sign three of their prospects or see their rights released.  The time came and went without any contracts so the team has now relinquished the rights to Cedrick Guindon, Petteri Nurmi, and Miguel Tourigny.

With the deadline to sign him coming on Saturday, the Habs decided to give Jared Davidson his entry-level deal, announcing on Friday that they’ve inked him to a two-year contract.

The Memorial Cup will take place from May 24th through June 2nd in Saginaw. This year, the Habs will have one representative as Owen Beck will suit for the host side. As always, we’ll keep track of his stats here.

With Oliver Kapanen having a strong season and an impressive start at the Worlds, many are asking if it’s possible that he could start 2024-25 with the Habs. That might not be the right question to ask, however.

June 1st is an important date on the calendar for many teams and prospects as it represents a signing deadline for several players to be signed. The Habs have four of those players but only face a hard decision on one of them, Jared Davidson.
