We have an encouraging update for Montreal Canadiens fans. It concerns several of the Canadiens’ Russian prospects, most notably the highly promising Alexander Zharovsky.Now that Ivan Demidov is officially a regular player for the Habs and no longer a prospect, all eyes are now on Zharovsky.
We initially thought the Canadiens’ 34th overall pick in the 2025 Draft wouldn’t be coming over for quite a while due to his KHL contract, but we’ve just come across some intriguing news on that front.
The Montreal Canadiens’ Russian Prospects, Including Alexander Zharovsky, Could Arrive in Town Sooner Than Expected
Of course, no one is expecting them to come over as soon as this season, but fall 2026 now seems realistic!
“The Canadiens have drafted several Russians in recent years, but when will they arrive in North America?
Sooner than you think.
We break down the timelines for Zharovsky, Radkov, Volokhin, and Konyushkov below.”

We love it! And Zharovsky is already turning heads!
