The Montreal Canadiens have a pleasant problem with several high-quality prospects in their system.
However, this situation comes with some tough decisions. A third-round pick in 2019 who had a promising future has now left the Canadiens.
Mattias Norlinder has signed with a professional club in Sweden and will continue his career in his home country.
He played 6 games in the NHL during the 2021-2022 season.
When he arrived in North America, expectations were high for Norlinder, as he had recently excelled in the top Swedish league.
Some believed he was a steal when selected 64th overall in 2019.
Ultimately, Mattias Norlinder seemed to be stuck with the Rocket in the American Hockey League, with his role in Laval diminishing year by year.
The effort was successful, as the Swedish team has confirmed the signing of the former Canadiens prospect.
Even with his potential, Kent Hughes and his team can rely on young defensemen like Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher, and Logan Mailloux on their blue line.
