On the heels of the NHL combine , the Canadiens – like other NHL teams – can go and meet some prospects.

By necessity, the club will be able to get answers to questions it has been asking itself. This is a very important week for preparing for the draft, which takes place at the end of the month.

We’re obviously keeping an eye on what comes out of it.

In light of what we’ve been reading in recent weeks, it’s safe to assume that Carter Bear will indeed be meeting with the Canadiens this week in Buffalo.

Remember, he can’t take part in the physical exercises, but he’s on site.

Because yes, the Habs like him. They’ve seen him play a lot this season in the WHL, and his rugged style of play fits in with what the Habs are looking to add to their forward corps.

And now there’s further proof of the Habs’ interest in the Bear. Because, according to Marco D’Amico(RG media), the Habs brought Bear along to get to know him better.

It often happens at the combine. But in his case, it was before that: earlier this year.

It goes to show that the club has been following him for a long time. There’s no saying he’ll make it to the Canadiens, and there’s no saying he’s the Habs’ ONLY crush, but he remains a name to watch.

D’Amico also talks about the Habs’ interest in KaShawn Aitcheson and Lynden Lakovic. These are two players we’ve talked about in the past, but that doesn’t tell the whole story.

And speaking of “that doesn’t tell the whole story”: Justin Carbonneau’s name isn’t mentioned in D’Amico’s text.

– Poor guy.

– Eh boy.

– A little, yes.

– To watch.
