By JD Lagrange – In this fifth edition of this new feature, let’s see how the team’s top prospects are progressing. You will notice a column to show how the players are trending based on the previous week. 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.
Skaters
First, let’s have a look at the skaters or, in other words, all players but goaltenders.

Filip Mesar had the biggest jump this week, while Owen Beck also had a good week. Jesse Ylönen and Rafaël Harvey-Pinard also continue their steady assertion towards the top.
When the World Junior Championships get underway, I will add a table of all Canadiens’ prospects and their production at the tournament.
Goaltenders
And now, to the organization’s goaltending prospects…
| NAME | TEAM | LEAGUE | GP | GAA | Sv% | TREND |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jakub Dobes | Ohio State Univ. | NCAA | 18 | 2.33 | .915 | ➡️ |
| Emmett Croteau | Waterloo Black Hawks | USHL | 11 | 2.66 | .904 | ➡️ |
| Cayden Primeau | Laval Rocket | AHL | 12 | 3.53 | .893 | ➡️ |
| Joe Vrbetic | Trois-Rivières Lions | ECHL | 10 | 3.53 | .881 | ➡️ |
| Laval Rocket | AHL | 2 | 4.08 | .867 | N/A | |
| Frederik Dichow | Frölunda HC | SHL | 6 | 3.35 | .878 | ⬇️ |
None of Jakub Dobes, Emmett Croteau or Cayden Primeau played last week and Joe Vrbetic two games for Laval, so I have added a row for his AHL stats.
Hope you enjoy this feature. See you next week.
