Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens’ Draft lottery odds are improving as concerns over the Florida Panthers‘ slow start begin to surface.

Cole Caufield has been labelled a steal for a while now, but how high could he go in a re-draft of the 2019 class? Not high enough, apparently.

Canadiens prospect Cedrick Guindon was a 4th round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, and now sits fourth in scoring in the OHL.  He took some to talk about what’s led to his sharp increase in offence and why it’s only the tip of the iceberg of what he can do.
