By JD Lagrange – Just how are the Montreal Canadiens’ prospects doing, you asked? In this the second edition of this new feature, let’s see how the team’s top prospects are progressing. You will notice that we’ve added a column to show how the players are trending based on the previous stats. Remember that this is in no way some expert dissection and in-depth analysis, but rather an overview at one point in time about how those young prospects are producing at their respective level.
