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.
With a roster built to test the mettle of some training camp invites, the Canadiens looked completely out of sorts in yet another preseason loss, this time in a 5-1 to the Senators.
Thursday marked the third of the eight scheduled pre-season games along with the return of what can only be described as the lesser of the two squads Claude Julien has put together and it showed with a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Devils.
Victor Mete, Charles Hudon, and Daniel Carr put forth some solid efforts in Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to Washington, thus creating a few interesting battles internally for the rest of training camp.
In this first preseason game, many unproven players created an interesting match in Quebec City’s Centre Vidéotron on Monday night but it was the Bruins who came out with the 3-2 win.
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.
With training camp upon us, it’s time for our next podcast. Topics in this episode include discussing the offseason moves, Charles Hudon’s future with the team, predictions, and much more.
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.
