Over the past several weeks, we’ve looked at the Habs and their potential fantasy impact for this season. While the rest of the team isn’t likely to have a big impact, many can still fill a role on your pool team. Here’s a look at the rest of Montreal’s projected roster and their potential fantasy usefulness.
Replacing Andrei Markov’s production from the back end isn’t going to be easy and will fall to a group of blueliners. Chief among those defenders is Mark Streit who is set to begin his second stint with Montreal.
The Habs officially announced their training camp roster on Wednesday. A total of 61 players will be attending, including 14 that aren’t directly tied to the team. Here’s a look at each of those invites.
Monday was the Habs’ annual charity golf tournament that also basically kicks off the start of the new season. Here are some of the notable things that were said throughout the day.
When Marc Bergevin acquired Andrew Shaw last summer, he was likely hoping that Shaw would have another gear offensively in him. That didn’t happen last year but will his second season in Montreal yield more production?
Max Pacioretty has led Montreal in points for each of the last six years. Will he continue to lead the way or will this be the year that someone else takes the top spot?
Montreal’s decision to invite defenceman Eric Gelinas to training camp on Tuesday comes as somewhat of a surprise. The back end is already crowded and this will likely muddy the waters further.
Lost in the never-ending debate about last summer’s blockbuster trade was that Shea Weber had a solid first year with Montreal. With Andrei Markov now out of the picture, they’ll be counting on Weber for more this coming season.
Alex Galchenyuk continues to be someone that shows flashes of dominance while at other times he’s much less noticeable. Will that continue in 2017-18 or will this be the year he puts it all together most consistently?
Phillip Danault’s emergence was one of the bright spots for Montreal in 2016-17. With there being one year left on his contract now, Marc Bergevin has to decide whether or not to approach him about an extension.
