In last week's episode of the Canadiens Connection podcast, we spotlighted the evolution of Montreal's top forward prospect, Juraj Slafkovsky, and wondered if he will be the best player of the 2022 NHL Draft?

This week, our focus turns to the future of the Canadiens players whose primary area of responsibility is behind the blue line.

We are joined by our regular Rocket Sports contributor, Patrick Williams, to examine Montreal Canadiens defense and goaltending prospects who are developing in the AHL with the Laval Rocket.

They include Justin Barron, Logan Mailloux and Jakub Dobes. Patrick and Rick also discussed the potential arrival of David Reinbacher this season in Laval and a goaltending prospect who 'got away,' Yaroslav Askarov.

Defense and goaltenders in the organization are the focal points of this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.

In addition, we provide roster updates including Rafael Harvey-Pinard and Jordan Harris. And we outline the week that was for Habs prospects. We conclude the show with comments, texts, and emails from you, our loyal Canadiens Connection listeners.

Be sure to listen to these topics and more in the latest episode of the Canadiens Connection podcast. It's episode 283 of our sixth season. Click the link HERE or below in this post.
