Although Martin St-Louis excels at bringing out the best in every player, especially the young ones, it is not his responsibility to find these young talents.
That task falls to the scouting team, whose job is to uncover hidden gems from all corners of the globe. They are numerous and must work together.
Then, all these scouts and the team's management meet to make decisions when the draft comes around. They have very little room for maneuver.
Ultimately, it all falls into the coach's hands, and it's he who must help them perform up to the organization's expectations. This role can be very rewarding but also very thankless.
Martin is therefore directly dependent on the work of the organization's scouts, and he had a lot to say following the first preseason game.
"I tip my hat to our scouting team. We have a lot of young players standing out!"

With Oliver Kapanen, Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux, Owen Beck, and many others pushing hard for a spot in the lineup, we understand the coach's excitement.
All of them were selected late in the first round or afterward, and they are all on track to play in the NHL and find success.
The future looks bright for the Canadiens!
