Analyst reveals the list of the CH's top ten players aged 23 and under and there is one notable absentee
Despite the difficult season, we can say that the future is still promising in Montreal.
This was evident at the last World Junior Hockey Championship, where some of the team's prospects participated, including Joshua Roy and Owen Beck, who won the gold medal for Team Canada.
While Habs fans may want to see their favorite team move forward more quickly, patience will be required as a rebuilding process can sometimes take a long time, but as Marker.com's Nicholas Desrosiers reports, there is hope on the horizon.
Over the holiday season, RDS Canadiens game analyst Marc Denis compiled a list of the organization's top 10 players aged 23 and under.
No surprises for the top two positions as Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki are already establishing themselves as the team's offensive leaders.
No surprises as well regarding Kaiden Guhle, Juraj Slafkovsky, Jordan Harris and Kirby Dach, who have all contributed in their own way to the Habs' early season success.
But where it gets interesting is the last four prospects on the roster as Owen Beck, Filip Mesar, Lane Hutson and Joshua Roy all participated in the last World Junior and it will be interesting to follow the development of each until the end of the season.
However, we can notice the absence of a certain Arber Xhekaj in Marc Denis' list, despite the fact that he is among the best scoring rookie defensemen in the NHL this season.
Despite the fact that number 72 is not on this list, it doesn't change the fact that he has become one of the crowd's favorites at the Bell Centre this season and that he probably represents the most beautiful surprise of the team since the beginning of the season.
