With the third overall pick in the draft, the Habs will have plenty of options and there is a definite lack of consensus regarding the direction they will go. Czech winger Filip Zadina is one of the most intriguing options and is an elite, dynamic scoring winger.
Centre has been a position of need for the Habs for a long time now. On the plus side, they are starting to accumulate some depth at the position in the minors and amateur ranks.
The Habs have strong depth on the left side up front but can the same be said for the rest of the organization? Our depth series continues with a look at Montreal’s left winger situation.
No single position has changed as much as Montreal’s defence over the past year. Several newcomers were added in the NHL while they drafted four others last June. Despite that, a lot of work still needs to be done on the back end.
It seems as if the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers are in sync with each other. They both rose together in terms of their on-ice success this past decade and then they fell to the bottom together last season. Five years from now, both may once again be back near the top or top of their conferences.
With the draft and free agency getting closer and closer, Marc Bergevin and his staff will be putting together their wish lists. As we like to do at this time of the year, we take a look at their situation at each position to see what positions the team should target. As always, we start with the goalies.
While there had been speculation that defenceman Rinat Valiev was going to the KHL next season, he has instead re-signed with the Habs on a one-year, two-way contract.
Daniel Carr had an up-and-down year. After clearing waivers, he worked his way back up to the big club and got off to a very strong start. Despite that, there is a chance that he doesn’t receive a qualifying offer next month.
The Habs added some depth to their prospect pool on Monday as they signed defencemen David Sklenicka and Michal Moravcik to entry-level deals.
