Habs Prospect Makar Khanin Snaps Quick Photo with Captain Nick Suzuki at Development Camp
Montreal, July 2, 2025 — A feel-good moment emerged from Montreal Canadiens development camp this week, as Makar Khanin, the Habs’ 7th-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, was spotted grabbing a quick photo with team captain Nick Suzuki.
The candid moment, shared by fans and later posted on the Canadiens’ official social media channels, captured the young Russian forward beaming alongside Suzuki — a player he’s long admired from afar.
Khanin, 19, was drafted 198th overall last year and has quickly become a prospect to watch within the Canadiens’ system. After a solid year in the Russian junior circuit, he’s attending his first development camp in Montreal, getting his first taste of North American hockey and team culture.
