Ivan Demidov, who’s not even in the NHL yet shows up first at number 20, followed in quick succession by Cole Caufield at 26 and Nick Suzuki at 27. Power forward Juraj Slafkovsky comes in at 31, followed by rookie defenseman Lane Hutson at number 42.
After that, you have to go all the way down to 83 to find (hopefully healthy) Kirby Dach and Kaiden Guhle comes in at 99. That’s seven Canadiens players on a list that includes 100 skaters or in another words, 7% of the list is part of the Sainte-Flanelle’s organization.

This is very good news for the team, especially since it has struggled to put up points for so long. It’s all well and good to have spectacular goaltending, but you also need to score goals if you want to win. Which is not to say goaltending is not important, and in a couple of season, Jacob Fowler should be knocking on the Canadiens’ door as well.
