Five Players to Watch: Prospect Showdown

Honorary distinctions

Montreal’s loyal fans got their first glimpse of Adam Engstrom on the ice in North America since signing a rookie contract in May. Meanwhile, Filip Mesar has his eyes on a breakout season as he steps into the professional ranks.

For some players, Rookie Camp is about making a good first impression; for others, it’s about getting a second or third chance. Regardless, almost every year, at least one player makes it deep into training camp and even earns a spot on the team. Last season, it was Emil Heineman. The year before that, it was Xhekaj, but also Beck, who was one of the Canadiens’ final cuts. So who could it be this season?
