Over the past month, we’ve looked at the Habs and their likely fantasy impact over a full season. Several players that weren’t covered in the individual profiles can still not only fill useful roles for the Canadiens but for your pool team as well.
Over the past few years, the Habs have had quite a few youngsters step into the lineup. This season, there aren’t many spots open but several prospects will get a chance at some point to make their mark.
Jacob de la Rose made a quality impact for the Habs in the second half of last season. Does that mean he should make the team out of training camp or should he start in the minors again in 2015-16?
Jeff Petry made an immediate impact with the Habs after being acquired at the trade deadline. Now armed with a new long-term deal, what should be expected of him in his first full season with the Canadiens?
The Habs were hoping to add a top six piece this offseason and they hope they’ve done so with Alexander Semin. While he was a major threat in past years, he wasn’t with Carolina. Which Semin will Montreal get?
The Habs added some experience to their coaching staff on Tuesday as they announced the hiring of Craig Ramsay. He is joining the team as a coaching consultant and will not be one of the coaches behind the bench.
The much-maligned David Desharnais has come under heavy criticism in recent years. When it comes to his overall production, however, he has been fairly consistent, making him a useful player in Fantasy Hockey.
The St. John’s IceCaps, Montreal’s new AHL affiliate, have a multitude of rookies joining the team this coming season. Among those is 21 year old Tim Bozon. What type of expectations should the team place on him in 2015-16?
Lars Eller’s 2014-15 performance was full of ups and downs, just like his previous campaigns. Will 2015-16 be a repeat of that or is the Danish centre poised to take a big step forward this coming season?
