It went under the radar, but a young Montreal Canadiens prospect was indeed missing from the organization's most recent development camp.
As the excellent Kevin Dubé explains in an article published on TVA Sports, Goaltender Quentin Miller was not at the Montreal Canadiens' development camp last week, which raised some questions.
Today, the journalist provides some explanations and reasons behind this mysterious absence.
It's worth noting that Miller's situation is particularly unique and unclear.
Normally, since he still hasn't been signed by the Habs-even two years after being drafted as a CHL player-he should have become a free agent and eligible for a new draft.. but his transfer to the NCAA really complicates things.
Does this now give the Canadiens four years to sign him? Does he still belong to the Montreal organization?
The unusual reason for young Quentin Miller's absence is revealed
That said, as reported by the excellent journalist Kevin Dubé, there's another real reason behind Quentin Miller's absence.
"Miller had academic commitments in Denver, as he's taking summer courses to meet all the requirements that will allow him to be eligible to play his first NCAA season in 2025-26."

Miller, 20 years old, is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound goaltender who was selected 128th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2023 (4th round).
