The Habs were hoping to add a top six piece this offseason and they hope they’ve done so with Alexander Semin. While he was a major threat in past years, he wasn’t with Carolina. Which Semin will Montreal get?
The Habs added some experience to their coaching staff on Tuesday as they announced the hiring of Craig Ramsay. He is joining the team as a coaching consultant and will not be one of the coaches behind the bench.
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?
