Montreal Canadiens Top 40 Prospects: The Final List

With well over 20,000 words published, we’ve reached the end of our 2024 Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings, with Ivan Demidov anointed as the new top prospect in the organization.

I’d like to start by thanking all our loyal community members for making it one of our most popular series to date. Your support means the world to us, though the fact that the Canadiens have one of the best prospect pools in the entire NHL may have had something to do with the popularity of the 2024 prospect list.

The last time the Habs had such talent and depth at every position was well over a decade ago, however, you could argue this crop of young players has a leg up on the era that featured Max Pacioretty, Carey Price, P.K. Subban, and others. This explains why most fans are riding a surge of hope, the perfect wave for a fanbase that’s enduring a rebuild.

As a reminder, players must be 23 years old or younger, with fewer than 100 games of NHL experience to qualify for our rankings.
