Canadiens Rookie Camp Roster Changes This Year

On Friday, the Montreal Canadiens announced their 23-player roster for rookie camp from September 11-15, which has drawn criticism for its lack of top prospects, many of whom are playing overseas or in college. Notable absences include Hayden Paupanekis and defenseman Bryce Pickford, who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Undrafted players like Alexander Donovan and Alexey Vlaskov will attend on a tryout basis, alongside four recent draft picks. Despite the roster’s weaknesses, the camp will feature games against the Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators rookies.
