After reviewing both player and management performance in 2024/2025 earlier this summer, it’s now time to evaluate the performance of the coaching staff before turning our focus to the upcoming season.

As the Habs are evolving, it is management’s job to try to field a competitive team each season while still developing prospects. This assessment is to evaluate the changes made to the roster between the 2023/2024 and the 2024/2025 seasons and the degree of success of those changes.

The Habs recently passed the three-quarter mark of the season and find themselves squarely in the mix for a playoff spot, thanks in large part to some key contributions from their forwards.  We wrap up our writer grades with a look at those forwards.

The Habs recently passed the three-quarter mark of the season and find themselves squarely in the mix for a playoff spot.  Our writers have issued their third-quarter grades, beginning with the goalies and defencemen.

Despite a particularly rough start to the season, a handful of Montreal forwards earned strong grades for their early efforts while several others were issued failing grades from our writers.

The Habs have basically had three years under new management. While they’ve won some trades along the way, they still have a long way to go to get this team back to playoff contention.

It’s well-known that the Habs need to add offence this offseason. However, while many are looking at potential winger upgrades, perhaps management should be looking for options down the middle.

The third quarter of the season saw the Habs struggle in the win column. However, several forwards, including the top line, had strong individual performances, helping them earn high grades.

With the midpoint of the season having recently passed, we wrap up our second quarter report cards with a look at Montreal’s forwards.

The first quarter of the season saw some good play at times from the Habs and poor performances at others. Not surprisingly, there is a considerable gap between our top grades and the worst ones; we wrap up our report card with a look at the forwards.
