Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

With the summer coming to a slow simmer in terms of news, and the Canadiens remaining relatively quiet, the hosts take a moment to put together their predictions at an opening night lineup for the Habs.

While the goalies are likely locked in with Jake Allen and Samuel Montembeault, are their roles reversed going into next season? Will Cayden Primeau factor into the team's plans at all, or is he destined to be the pillar for the Laval Rocket once again?

Amongst the forwards there is a ton of competition of lineup spots, and the Habs have a lot of difficult decisions to make, especially with prospects graduating out of the AHL. Has Rafaël Harvey-Pinard locked himself into a top six role? Can Jesse Ylönen make the jump full-time? Which veterans are likely saying good-bye so Juraj Slafkovsky can slide into the top six?

Finally, on defence there is a battle for all six spots in the lineup, and no matter what it will likely leave a prospect or fan favourite in the press box at some point. Will limited ice time force Kent Hughes to make a tough choice and send someone to the AHL, or can he successfully juggle his defensive group this season?
