Following the NHL Draft and free agency, Montreal Canadiens fans have plenty of questions. We answered them and reviewed the prospect development camp. Listen to the Canadiens Connection podcast episode 251!

On this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast, we reviewed the Montreal Canadiens development camp. Thirty-seven prospects were put through their paces at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard over a four-day period. The young men were tested, given on-ice instruction and participated in a intra-squad scrimmage.

The hosts offered their standouts of development camp, and provided audio from the prospects themselves. The listeners were asked which prospect impressed them in the Canadiens Connection question of the week.

It was then time to answer questions from our voluminous set of mail. It was the mid-Summer edition of the Rocket Sports mailbag! The mailbag was jammed with questions and comments about the NHL Draft, roster changes and predictions for next season.

Our hosts responded to your questions on David Reinbacher, Alex Newhook, Matvei Michkov, Joel Edmundson, Filip Zadina and more!

Be sure to listen to these topics and more in the latest episode of the Canadiens Connection podcast. It's episode 251 of our sixth season. Click the link HERE or below in this post.
