Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

The hosts are back, and welcome another renowned prospect expert to the show as Lauren Kelly of EliteProspects joins the show to discuss all things OHL! Lauren was one of the biggest early supporters of 2022 second round pick Owen Beck, so naturally the hosts want to know everything they can about him. In particular, can Beck's overall game fill the gap where it was assumed Shane Wright was going to slot in? What's a reasonable projection for Beck beyond this year, and where can he probably fit in the future if he makes it to the NHL level?

The hosts also ask Lauren for her thoughts on the other Canadiens' prospects in the OHL this upcoming year and what they can expect from Vinzenz Rohrer especially as the Montreal scouting staff and others have raved about his talents. Also who is Cedrick Guindon, and what makes him a potential late round steal for the Habs in this draft?

Lauren takes the final segment to answer some listener questions as well, including where does Jan Mysak go now that his OHL time is done? Can Arber Xhekaj continue to defy the odds and turn himself into a true NHL player? Lauren likes a lot of what Xhekaj brings to the table, but unless he can curb his lapses in judgement he might be harming his potential ceiling. Also, who is Cameron Allen, and why should Habs fans be excited about him in the 2023 NHL Draft?
