Success Of The Canadiens' Rebuild To Go Through Laval

Montreal Canadiens need to develop their young players in Laval. LAVA is the team's AHL affiliate. The team has struggled to produce much talent via the league. Some of the players are preparing for the Prospect Challenge in Buffalo. They will be working with L AVL head coach Jean-Francois Houle. He has a reputation for focusing on individual growth and team-driven results. It took a long time, but the Montreal Canadiens have shifted from a hired-gun approach to a prospect-based approach. Their last coach Guy Boucher managed to do that. He was instrumental in developing the development of Jake Evans.

Reinbacher has gained confidence throughout…
