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?
Ales Hemsky is coming off an injury-riddled season that has him off the radar. That could make him an intriguing sleeper option in certain fantasy leagues.
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.
2016-17 was a breakout season for Phillip Danault. He should be able to stick in the top six once again which will give him a chance to beat that performance and have another breakthrough campaign.
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?
Jakub Jerabek is a big wildcard on Montreal’s back end. If he can land the spot alongside Shea Weber, he could be in line for a significant rookie season.
