We’ve reached the top spot in our 2024 Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings, which means it’s time to discuss Ivan Demidov’s incredible potential to become exactly what the franchise needs most; a player with game-breaking potential. Demidov will not have to do it all once he arrives in North America, but he will be counted upon to provide crucial offence once the Canadiens are ready to compete.

David Reinbacher will have an opportunity to earn a job with the Canadiens once training camp opens. He’ll be competing with defencemen such as Logan Mailloux, another right-handed blueliner with NHL aspirations.  [Canadiens Depth Chart: Trades Improve Defensive Prospect Odds]

With the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics having just finished, and the announcement of the 2034 Winter Olympics returning to Salt Lake City, national pride is on the mind. The Devils have been well represented worldwide, but to the surprise of some, they don’t have the deepest ties to Sweden. Throughout team history, just three Swedish players have played in over 300 games for the team. Nevertheless, they’ve produced some great Devils, past and present. [New Jersey Devils]
