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.
New addition Jonathan Drouin immediately becomes one of Montreal’s most dangerous forwards and will have plenty of opportunities to rack up points for the club – and your fantasy squad.
Better late than never, the final report card for the 2016-17 Habs forwards has finally arrived. Before turning the focus to the upcoming season, let’s take one last look back at last year.
Tomas Plekanec now stands as the longest tenured Canadien in what might very well be his last season with the team. Will he end his contract on a high note with a strong year?
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?
Montreal has built some solid depth on the wings with the addition of some exciting young talent recently. Artturi Lehkonen is one of these standouts with great potential to be a top-six winger for the club as early as this coming season.
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.
Jeff Petry stands to be the offensive driving force on the Habs’ blueline with the departure of Andrei Markov which could make him one to watch for in fantasy leagues.
There has been a lot of talks of using Jonathan Drouin at centre since his acquisition. Examining his short stint at the position last season, could he be a solution to a perpetual issue for the Habs?
