With the calendars turning to December, the World Junior Hockey Championships are right around the corner. Every year, current and future prospects of NHL teams battle it out for their nation to take home gold medals. Some fans only watch for the thrill of younger players competing on such a grand scale, while others, including the Montreal Canadiens, use the event as a time for evaluation.
The Habs have three prospects who will be playing in the tournament in British Columbia: Nick Suzuki, Josh Brook, and Jesse Ylonen.
Montreal originally acquired Suzuki along with Tomas Tatar from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Max Pacioretty.
