Canadien's Prospects

MONTREAL - There's no room for young guns like Max Pacioretty and Ben Maxwell on the Montreal Canadiens roster going into training camp, so if they want a spot on the NHL club, they'll have to make one.

So says coach Guy Carbonneau, a former Chicoutimi junior star who bulled his way onto the Canadiens roster and made Dan Daoust redundant in the early 1980s to launch his 19-year NHL playing career.

'You've got to steal a job from someone,' Carbonneau said Monday as the Canadiens' four-day rookie camp opened at the Bell Centre. 'That's what I did.

'It's a jungle.'"
