Fantasy Focus: David Desharnais
–
The much-maligned David Desharnais has come under heavy criticism in recent years. When it comes to his overall production, however, he has been fairly consistent, making him a useful player in Fantasy Hockey.

One of the new kids on the block, Zack Kassian has the opportunity to bring toughness and perhaps a little bit of scoring to the Habs. There are questions abound, but is this the year he becomes the power forward he was projected to be?
Lars Eller’s 2014-15 performance was full of ups and downs, just like his previous campaigns. Will 2015-16 be a repeat of that or is the Danish centre poised to take a big step forward this coming season?
Carey Price’s 2014-15 season measures up to some of the best stats NHL goaltenders have ever put up. Unfortunately, the Canadiens’ stud netminder will most likely not be able to replicate the lofty figures he put up last year.
P.K. Subban took his offensive game to another level last season, posting career highs across the board. Does the two time Norris nominee still have another level to reach though?
Carey Price had a year for the ages in 2014-15, winning several major awards and setting team records along the way. Asking him to duplicate that would be too much pressure but what should the Habs expect for an encore in 2015-16?
The Canadiens’ Old Faithful, Tomas Plekanec, remained the ever reliable two-way centre fans have come to expect year in and year out last season. Will that be the case in 2015-16 as he approaches UFA status?
After coming up short in the playoffs, it was clear that Montreal’s greatest need was to find additional scoring. While the jury is still out as to how effective Alex Semin will be, he seems like a positive addition to the offence. Yet it still leaves the most pressing need unresolved.
It was a mixed bag for young Alex Galchenyuk during the 2014-2015 season, as career highs were achieved nearly across the board in terms of stats, but there was a feeling that there could have been more.
For the last two years, Max Pacioretty has been Montreal’s top goal getter although he has failed to hit the elusive 40-goal plateau. It seems all but certain he’ll lead the team again in 2015-16 but will this be the season he gets 40 tallies?
