While the Canadiens’ prospect pipeline doesn’t hold franchise-defining prospects anymore, it does boast several high-end prospects that can provide that depth a contender requires to compete for a Stanley Cup. Organizational needs may not need a trade to be filled, especially due to some extra work in recent years to add quality depth with draft picks from outside the first round.  Find more here Feb 14, 2026

What Answers can the Habs find for the upcoming season?

Dobes poised for a big season

 Dobes has proven himself capable of facing NHL-calibre competition. Having the depth in goal that the Canadiens have at the professional level will allow management to buy the time they need to let Jacob Fowler develop properly in the AHL. While Montreal did sign a veteran goaltender in Kaapo Kahkonen, they will do everything in their power to avoid going into the season with a three-goalie system, as they had in 2023-24, especially since it had been a failure in giving their NHL tandem a predictable cycle of starts. The job is Dobes’ to lose out of training camp.   Find out more Here Aug 2, 2025
