Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

The opening night roster for the Montreal Canadiens is set for their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday...Sort of.

Before diving into some of the injury-related questions facing the Habs, the hosts take a look at who made the 23 man roster, and who was sent down to the Laval Rocket on Monday afternoon. What do the hosts expect from this lineup, and is there more flexibility than we initially expected?

Injuries also continue to hamper the team, especially on defence with Joel Edmundson and Mike Matheson set to miss the start of the season. While neither host wants a repeat of last season's devastating injury issues, can the absurd depth across the Canadiens organization help keep the team moving in the right direction?

Speaking of depth, Scott and Laura take a look at five young players whose fortunes changed on Monday afternoon. With Juraj Slafkovsky, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris and Kaiden Guhle being told they will start the year in the NHL, while Justin Barron was sent down to the Laval Rocket. The hosts examine the approach Martin St. Louis is using with his young players, while also taking a look at why a short stop in the AHL might be good for Barron right now.
