Phillip Danault was Montreal’s unsung award winner in 2016-17 after a 40 point season. The debate of whether or not this was a one-time fluke or a sign of things to come makes him an intriguing fantasy option.
Lost in the never-ending debate about last summer’s blockbuster trade was that Shea Weber had a solid first year with Montreal. With Andrei Markov now out of the picture, they’ll be counting on Weber for more this coming season.

The Habs have been linked to Stephane Da Costa at times this offseason. What type of game does he play and is he really worth pursuing?
Alex Galchenyuk continues to be someone that shows flashes of dominance while at other times he’s much less noticeable. Will that continue in 2017-18 or will this be the year he puts it all together most consistently?

After missing time with hand injuries for two straight seasons, Brendan Gallagher is looking for a bounce back season. Will he be able to do so or will his hand troubles continue to cause problems?
