The Montreal Canadiens' prospect pool added many quality prospects, and it only looks stronger now following the 2023 Entry Draft.
Although we haven’t seen Reinbacher play in NA, the author rates him very highly.

I'm not sold on Slafkovsky's hockey IQ. Kid got blind-sided two-dozen times last year.
Also notable, feels like this list is a sign that we are finally giving up on Primeau as the next starter. I think Monty will be better than expected this upcoming season. He played well last year behind a terrible team.
I’m not ready to throw the towel on Slafkowsky yet. I see his problem as being similar to Lindros’s; they’re big guys and never had to keep their heads up in juniors, so they didn’t grow up with that mentality. But I hope St. Louis can impress the need to keep mindful of his surroundings.
Yeh I'm not saying I'm giving up on him - that would be crazy after one season - I'm just saying I'm not sold on him. Great point about juniors.
Power forwards can definitely take a good 5 years to mature into their role (and body size).
