As the Canadiens prepare for the 2023-2024 season, the team's leaders will be busy evaluating the existing staff.

Training camp will start in the coming days, and fans will be able to appreciate the development of several young prospects who will try to impress the management and carve out a spot with the main club.

As it is known, the Canadiens' prospect pool is one of the best in the NHL, and some experts enjoy undertaking the exercise of creating a ranking of the team's best prospects. As reported by Marco Normandin, from the site Habsolumentfan.com, a former member of the organization has come up with his own ranking.

The former goaltender coach Stéphane Waite, now an analyst on RDS waves, has made his top 10 of the best prospects of the Canadiens, and we can see that the future looks rather bright in Montreal concerning defenders, as three defenders are at the top of the list.

Here it is:

1. Logan Mailloux
2. David Reinbacher
3. Lane Hutson
4. Owen Beck
5. Sean Farrell
6. Jakub Dobes
7. Filip Mesar
8. Jacob Fowler
9. Joshua Roy
10. Emil Heineman

It's a big "statement" from Waite, but it's interesting!

Seeing Logan Mailloux's name might surprise a few, but Waite is certainly not the only one to think that the Canadiens' first pick in 2021 has exceptional potential.

The tall right-handed defender will undoubtedly be one of the Canadiens' players who should attract the most attention during the team's training camp that will start in the coming days, and bets are open as to the chances that Mailloux will carve out a spot with the main club.
