Hockey. Finally. The season is on our doorstep and it starts with the rookie showcase in Belleville. What should we be looking out for in the days to come as the Canadiens prospects try to make an impression? Not all of the Habs prospect pool is here - far from it - but there are enough to suggest that a few players could see time in Montreal in 2019-20 and others will help make the Rocket a better team.

The most exciting rookie camp in forever has begun

Le camp d’entraînement du Canadien s’est ouvert avec un Claude Julien pressé d’établir des combinaisons qui lui plaisent en vue de la saison. Des expériences? Le moins possible! Pierre LeBrun débarque pour commenter sa rencontre avec Marc Bergevin alors que Marc Antoine et Arpon discutent des intentions du coach et de ce que le CH peut faire avec sa marge de manœuvre salariale.

On discute de la prochaine saison du Canadien avec Pierre LeBrun

Nick Suzuki and Cale Fleury have forced management to make tough decisions as they survived the latest cuts and still hope to start the season in Montreal. Eight forwards are fighting for five spots. Suzuki has seemingly done enough to not only earn a spot, but potentially dislodge a player from the top-9. Will they dare take that path in order to ice the best team possible? Also, should we be concerned with the way Drouin and Kotkaniemi have been playing in preseason, and a tip of the hat to Jake Evans.

Can the old school Canadiens suddenly go new school ?
