Montreal Canadiens: Shades of ’93 With Young Defense Corps

The current version of the Montreal Canadiens is loaded with up-and-coming young defensemen. Still under the age of 23, Justin Barron, Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, and Arber Xhekaj have already logged significant time at the NHL level and do not look out of place. Not to mention Jonathan Kovacevic, still only 25 years old himself. The Canadiens also have several more promising blueline prospects in the pipeline, with Adam Engstrom, Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux, and David Reinbacher.

This group reminds me of the last time the Habs had a crop of young defenders like this, and if history can repeat itself, they will not be forgotten.
