In a previous article, we explored how an excess of AHL rookies and a plethora of veterans are a part of a complete overhaul of the Laval Rocket franchise heading into their sophomore season.
There are plenty of well-established vets coming into the tam in the forms of Kenny Agostino, Michael Chaput and Alexandre Grenier. What should be more exciting to Canadiens fans, is the fact that a large portion of their lineup will feature young players they’ve either acquired during the NHL draft or snagged as unsigned free agents in recent months.
Two of those players are the dynamic Will Bitten, a third round pick from 2016, and Hayden Verbeek who joined the organization as an undrafted free agent in the spring.
