That, Montreal Canadiens news and more in the latest MHN Canadiens Daily:

Montreal Canadiens

From waiver claims to 8-year contract extensions, the Habs have several players on the books that are providing great value to the team.

The Canadiens have been a very exciting and surprising team to start the season, but they’re still missing a few key pieces for their rebuild.

The Canadiens had a roster crunch on their hands, but recent injury news has bought them some time; which is good news for Juraj Slafkovsky and Evgenii Dadonov:

This week’s edition of the Canadiens Prospect Power Rankings saw some significant movement. Most notably, Sean Farrell’s strong play continues to propel him up the list.

When Rem Pitlick was first waived, the idea was that he would eventually be the first call-up in case of injury, and that’s exactly what the Canadiens did.
