Player Development Becoming A Major Focus At Habs Practice

With four NHL rookie defensemen in Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, Arber Xhekaj and Johnathan Kovacevic, the organization wants to ensure that it continues to maximize the development of its young defensemen, despite the gruelling pace of an NHL season.

Let's just say, seeing the energy Nicholas displayed during this practice, there is no doubt that the players are more motivated than ever to learn from him.

It was finally time for the Habs to put some real, concrete effort into the development of their players. For too long, this has been a shortcoming for this franchise that has not been able to get the best out of the players developed internally.
