I guess Radkov is pushing back his college debut as he was slated to play for UMass next season. Yeah, his QMJHL stats aren't that impressive. I expect the scouts are seeing substantially more potential in his play than is apparent in the numbers. Quote

DON Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Habs Prospects Defenseman Carlos Händel signed with Kölner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. (June 9) Rohrer i assume will in Laval in the fall. HW 3 Stars: May’s Top Prospects – HabsWorld.net 2nd Star: Vinzenz Rohrer (Laval/Austria) – It was a tale of two months for Rohrer. Not fully healthy, he struggled with Laval against the Marlies although he played a regular role, generally on the third line. But when he joined Austria, he became a top-six all-around player while lining up down the middle, something that should be of interest to the Habs. His lingering injury cost him a game in the tournament but he was one of their better performers once again in that event, ending his year on a good note. Quote

(June 9) I believe that will extend his signing timeline by two years which is notable since he was tracking towards not being signed with how this season went. Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Hopefully his game translates at the next level I’m excited Quote
DON Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Seems older CHL players hold most of records and didnt amount to be good NHLers. But fingers crossed he shines in Laval Quote

DON Posted June 17 Posted June 17 FWIW; Bryce Pickford, Chase Reid highlight CHL’s 2026 award winners Quote

His skillset welcome addition to Habs in future Let's hope so. But nothing is guaranteed at this point--so many prospects look great and then hit their ceilings in the AHL (see Beck, Roy, RHP for recent examples). 2 Quote
GHT120 Posted June 17 Posted June 17 I am *** NOT *** equating the two players ... but I was so excited when with their 4th round pick in 2003 the Habs got Corey Locke (2002/03: 63-88- 151, OHL's most outstanding player, CHL Player of the Year; 2003/244: 51-67-118 OHL's most outstanding player) ... his NHL career was 9 games over 3 seasons with three teams and 1 assist ... all that to say that I learned to be very cautious of mid-round picks ... there is USUALLY a good reason that they fell ... do I hope Pickford's offence transfers to the pros ... of course ... do I assume or even expect it will ... only time will tell.

DON Posted June 30 Posted June 30 5 forward prospects of note i guess. Montreal Canadiens announce 2026 development camp roster, schedule While there isn’t a star-studded roster like there has been in past years there is plenty of intrigue at Montreal Canadiens development camp, which gets underway on Tuesday with on-ice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Dillen Bentley Tyler Deakos Donovan Frias Rémi GélinasMichael Hage Aleksandr Legkov* Giacomo Martino* Ben MerrillL.J. Mooney Reid Morich* Nikita Ocharov* Hayden PaupanekisGleb Pugachyov Thomas Rousseau* Wesley RoystonLogan Sawyer Parker Trottier Braidy Wassilyn*Alexander Zharovsky Quote
dlbalr Posted June 30 Posted June 30 A few of the tryouts are pro-aged, likely with Laval/T-R contracts in mind. Quote
dlbalr Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Pickford's surgery only being tomorrow means he's probably heading for an extended absence to start next season. Quote
tomh009 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I wonder why the surgery is not until now, when his season has been over for more than a month already? Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Didn’t realize that Koivu is not at camp because he has mandatory military service Quote

dlbalr Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Now with two sets of rules in place for signing timelines for players (pre-2026 and 2026 onward), the list of signing deadlines is a little clunky. I've updated our listing on the main site and I think it's accurate now but there will be some players on there whose timelines probably move again at some point. https://www.habsworld.net/2010/09/habs-prospect-signing-deadlines/ Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Mooney is one of those prospects with some buzz and a bit of an edge. Interesting comparison Quote
DON Posted July 4 Posted July 4 In his WHL time Gallagher was relentless attacking the net and firing pucks from every angle and why he had 3 straight 40+ goal seasons. Does Mooney have his gumption? Hope so. Quote
DON Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Nice to hear Zharovski is spending time in Montreal this summer. Still without a contract, Zachary Bolduc is "confident that good things will come ahead" of him Facing a team that relied on Alexander Zharovsky, Bolduc had fun presenting spectacular dekes to the crowd in Boisbriand. The 23-year-old forward said he was impressed by the talent of the Habs' Russian prospect. "It's exciting! He's a young man full of talent, you can see that he has a lot of creativity. We're happy to have him in our organization. » "He spends the summer in Montreal, he wants to acclimatize quickly to the city. I think he's well supported with Demidov. If I play with him one day, it will be a great opportunity," he continued about Zharovsky. Other prospects also participated in the event, including St. Louis Blues prospect Justin Carbonneau. Quote
