Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n

Bo Horvat<\/a> has been linked to the Habs a few times now. And while he\u2019s certainly a good player, the timing simply isn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens have a few options when it comes to underperforming veteran Joel Armia<\/a>. But there\u2019s only one option that makes long-term sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mike Matheson<\/a>\u2018s injury has put the Canadiens in a bind with 21 healthy skaters and only six defencemen available. Luckily, they can call someone up from Laval despite the Roster Freeze.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens are looking outside the organization for a solution to their long-term<\/a> goaltender plans, and here are some options.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a ridiculous scoring pace since his return to the OHL, Owen Beck<\/a> wrestles the top spot on the Canadiens Prospect Power Rankings away from Lane Hutson this week.<\/p>\n
