The Montreal Canadiens have built up a great group of prospects in the past few years. We haven’t looked back at the most recent draft because it is a little too early to make any grand proclamations about 19 or 20 year old hockey players.

The 2009 draft was held in Montreal at the Bell Centre. There was a terrific buzz in the building in the lead up to the event as Habs fans packed the building.
