I'm guessing Montreal is probably out of the top 20 at this point. Our main prospects are:
Jake Evans - if he signs, looks like a solid two-way guy, perhaps 35-40 pts potential. MTL doesn't have much going on at center so he could be slotted higher on the depth chart.
Nikita Scherbak - showing good signs at the NHL level, but still a lot to work on. Offensive instincts are there, but don't think he ever becomes a top-end scorer. More like a 2nd line offensive wing, 45-50 points potential.
Will Bitten - seems like he's having a good junior career, may end up similar to Gallagher i.e. smallish winger with a big motor who can contribute offensively. Will likely need some seasoning in AHL.
Noah Juulsen - has been great in the NHL, looks like a lock for the team next season. Has all the tools; size, mobility, physical abilities, even some offensive skills. Defensive play not on point yet for NHL but will come around.
Ryan Poehling - doing well in College, potential seems to be a decent 2C with two-way abilities. Much like Evans, but higher ceiling.
Joni Ikonen - boom or bust prospect but solid offensive skills and skating. Wildcard. Couple of years away for sure. Would be nice to see him in Laval soon.
Michael McCarron - seems like he'll never be more than a bottom-6 guy, but I feel like he can still contribute kind of like Brian Boyle. He may be a late bloomer. Has some skills but skating and timing still needs work.
Cayden Primeau - the goalie is doing very well this season but MTL is stacked in goals with Price signed long term and Lindgren as the backup next season, with McNiven/Fucale developping in Laval. Fucale has had the best year of the 3 so far. McNiven a bit of a letdown for me.
If we're stricly looking at young roster players + prospects Montreal has some nice depth but lacks top-end talent, although guys like Drouin, Galchenyuk, Mete, Juulsen, Scherbak, Poehling and Lehkonen have relatively high ceilings. Defense is lacking in terms of quality prospects.
Centers - Drouin, Poehling, Evans, Danault, DeLaRose, McCarron
Wingers - Lehkonen, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Scherbak, Hudon, Bitten, Ikonen
Defense: Mete, Juulsen, Reilly, Lernout, Valiev
Goalies: Lindgren, McNiven, Primeau, Fucale
