As per a recent report from Montreal Hockey Now’s Marco D’Amico, the Canadiens met with the following three forward prospects on Thursday:
- Ivan Demidov
- Cayden Lindstrom
- Cole Eiserman
Montreal has been very active in the trade market during recent drafts. They acquired Alex Newhook one day before the 2023 draft and traded for Kirby Dach during the first round in 2022.

- San Jose Sharks
- Chicago Blackhawks
- Anaheim Ducks
