The Canadiens will soon have quality reinforcements on defense, and that's very encouraging

Indeed, Lane Hutson is expected to sign his entry-level contract and join the team, and Adam Engstrom and David Reinbacher are also expected to come to North America.

Whether in Montreal or Laval or a mix of both, these are three high-level prospects for the Habs, and they should not be underestimated.

Engstrom is probably the most overlooked of the three, but beware. He is a very surprising defenseman.

Their arrival will be even more interesting as it will give Kent Hughes a more comprehensive picture of what he has at his disposal. We know he'll have important decisions to make regarding his defensemen, and these three could definitely change the game.
