Habster’s take:
As Marc de Foy states, the battles will be furious at this year’s training camp for the few spots available. There are probably only 2-3 spots up for grabs: 1-3rd/4th line forward, maybe 1 defenseman (Habs presently have 7 defensemen signed to NHL guaranteed one way contracts) and one reserve forward (see my recent article: Training Camp 2007: The Canadiens prospects are knocking on the door for further details).
I hope to attend some of the Canadiens training camp scrimmages which start on September 14th and will be writing about these battles as well as the progress of some the prospects. It will be very interesting to see how well the prospects fair against the veterans and in NHL preseason games.
