After last weekend's rookie camp, it's now time for the real competition as veterans and young prospects will battle for a roster spot.

Fans will have their eyes on names like Ivan Demidov, Lane Hutson, Nick Suzuki, and of course the established pillars of the team we all know!
Two Big Names to Watch in the Coming Weeks
In my opinion, the two names to watch will be Florian Xhekaj and Joshua Roy!
Every practice and every preseason game will become an important opportunity to impress the Canadiens' staff.
Fans will be closely following the progress of the young prospects dreaming of making the jump to the NHL full-time.
It will also be interesting to see how the veterans respond to the competition brought on by this new generation.
All in all, this training camp promises plenty of intrigue and could hold more than a few surprises in the weeks ahead.
More details will follow regarding the full list and the next steps of the camp.
