There are few things more interesting than compiling Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings, especially when the list is determined by those who ultimately support the players in the long run.

We still have a couple of articles left to publish, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fantastic community members who participated in the project, either by sharing the articles, adding their own commentary, or simply reading the 25 articles we recently published.

There was a time when fan knowledge of prospects was limited, to say the least, but we’ve now reached a point where I feel comfortable suggesting that many Habs fans spend as much time, if not more, evaluating prospects as I do, a testament to their dedication to all things Montreal Canadiens.

Due to popular demand, I will publish my personal rankings in the next few days, but that list will pale in importance compared to the one driven by fan votes.

We received nearly 10,000 submissions this year, almost five times more than the previous season, an impressive increase considering the Habs have turned a corner in their rebuild, giving the community ample topics to discuss beyond players who may one day make an impact in the NHL.

Once again, thank you all for your continued support, it means the world to me.

I’d also like to give a stick tap to the good folks over at Elite Prospects. They don’t get enough credit for their fantastic resource, which we often take for granted instead of listing them as a source.

Montreal Canadiens Brass Tacks

There are a handful of prospects that I feel deserve more attention, and we’ll cover those once I publish my list, but overall, Canadiens fans did a very good job ranking the young players in the organization.

Even though Lane Hutson was no longer eligible for our project, it must be said that the Habs still have a very impressive prospect pool, with talent and depth at every position.

After suffering through a frustrating stretch that saw the Canadiens develop roughly one NHL calibre player per decade, there’s no doubt the work done by Jeff Gorton, Ken Hughes, John Sedgwick, and Co. has re-invigorated the fanbase in short order, filling them with legitimate hope, rather than delusions of grandeur.

Without further ado, here are the final 2025 Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings, as voted on by Habs fans. You can click on any of the names listed to open a link to their in-depth profile.
