While the Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins years faced challenges, the situation markedly improved toward the end of their tenure. Since 2019, all first-round picks have remained and show significant promise for the future, including Cole Caufield, Kaiden Guhle, Logan Mailloux, Juraj Slafkovsky, David Reinbacher, and Ivan Demidov.
Notable discoveries like Lane Hutson in the second round, along with others such as Oliver Kapanen, Raphaël Harvey-Pinard, and Cayden Primeau, further bolster the team's potential. A recent publication on the Canadiens' prospects has generated considerable interest, highlighting the contrasting quality of players from nine years ago in 2015, none of whom remain with the organization today.
