Canadiens Prospect Roundup

Below is an excerpt from HabProspects.com by montrealdan who writes about the progression of some the Canadiens prospects:

Perezhogin is currently on fire in the KHL scoring goals left and right, where he’s second overall in the league in goals scored, so hopefully for Valentenko things go well for him too. It’s unclear at this time what actually happened in regards to Valentenko signing in Russia, we may have to wait till next training camp to see if he will be back and if he will have any other Russian prospects with him, since Perezhogin, Emelin and Korneev’s contracts all expire at the end of this season with their respective KHL clubs.

Maxim Turnev opted not to make the jump overseas to North America, turning down a chance to play in the WHL for the Portland Winterhawks who selected him 3rd overall in the CHL Import Draft this past summer. The recently turned 18 year old is the youngest prospect in the Habs system, chose to try his luck in the KHL with Severstal, where he has had his ups and downs, appearing in only seven games so far this year, with two points seeing an average of 7:37 in ice time.
