Lost among all of the things that went quite wrong for the Habs last season was that Jeff Petry wound up having a career year. How will he follow that up in 2018-19?

Last week, we took a look at the long list of departures from Laval as they overhaul their roster following a poor inaugural season. Now, let’s look at who has all been brought in to reshape the team.
Lost in the discussion about Laval as they head into their second season is just how many players won’t be back; the roster turnover is quite staggering. Here is a look at who won’t be back in a Rocket uniform next season.
While he had an injury-plagued season, Phillip Danault still had a respectable year offensively which helped land him a three-year deal this summer. How will he follow up on that in 2018-19?
Jonathan Drouin’s first season with the Habs didn’t go quite as well as many anticipated. Now with a year at his new position under his belt, is there cause for optimism that his production could improve in 2018-19?
We’re now one month into free agency and the pickings left on the open market are slim. Is there anyone still available that could be of use to the Habs?
A cursory glance at Montreal’s defensive depth on the left side isn’t going to get many people excited. However, they have enough players to make it a position of intrigue for the rest of the summer and into training camp.
At the time, Montreal’s 2013 draft class was supposed to be a big part of their future. Five years later, although they have got some NHL talent out of that group, it hasn’t really helped the team too much.
Daniel Audette has had some up-and-down moments in his first two professional seasons. With only one year left on his contract and the fact he’s pegged to play an important role in Laval, he finds himself on the hot seat heading into 2018-19.
With a Max Pacioretty trade looking more and more likely, here are some teams that make sense as potential suitors for his services.
