## Resource

Owen Protz, a fourth-round draft pick in 2024, is emerging as a key piece in the Canadiens’ rebuilding blueprint — a physical, smart defenseman ranked 14th in team prospects. Known for his size, timing, and ability to disrupt play with big hits, Protz isn’t just a hitter; he’s a turnover machine and defensive anchor. Set to begin his pro journey with the Laval Rocket, he’s already signed an entry-level contract and surrounded by veteran guidance. While his offense may be modest, his defensive instincts, penalty kill potential, and skating development will be the focus as he transitions to the AHL. The Canadiens see him as a future bottom-six defenseman — reliable, impactful, and built for the grind. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
