Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

David St-Louis of EP Rinkside joins the show once again! Scott and Laura start by asking David how he rates the overall current Montreal Canadiens prospect pool outside of the professional ranks. David breaks down the rise of Kaiden Guhle and where he can project himself to in the NHL ranks in the near future. St-Louis also answers Scott's questions about Arber Xhekaj, who has entrenched himself in the eye of the Canadiens fanbase, and will join their professional ranks next season.

Laura also wants to break down how David analyzes a draft, and how a team like the Montreal Canadiens should approach this year's NHL Draft. How do you balance needing to draft to fill out organizational needs, but also drafting the best player available? What sort of things might impact pick selections such as injuries or inconsistent performances?

Finally, with Montreal needing to fill so many spots in their prospect pool, where should they be focusing? David gives his thoughts on where Montreal can fill out their draft board with quality players, and still meet their needs. Where can Montreal bolster their defensive needs? Is there high quality wingers available as the draft goes on? David gives his thoughts!
