Offensively, Kaiden Guhle probably isn’t going to produce enough to make a big difference on that front. But the other elements he brings to the table are valuable to the Habs and potentially valuable in fantasy leagues.

Last season was a tale of two halves for Juraj Slafkovsky, who saved his best for last. Will he be able to carry that performance over this coming season?

For the first time in his career, Samuel Montembeault will enter the season as Montreal’s undisputed number one goaltender. What should be expected from him in 2024-25?

Last season was full of promise for Kirby Dach but things went sideways in a hurry. Now fully healthy and armed with an intriguing new potential winger, what should the Habs be expecting from him this coming season?

The Habs made a big splash on the trade front earlier this week with the acquisition of Patrik Laine and a 2026 second-round pick from Columbus in exchange for Jordan Harris. Our writers offer up their thoughts on the swap.

The Habs made a splash on the trade front on Monday, announcing the acquisition of winger Patrik Laine and a 2026 second-round pick from Columbus in exchange for defenceman Jordan Harris.

Last season was an ugly one for Canadiens winger Josh Anderson, to put it lightly. Will he be able to rebound in 2024-25 and become at least a bit more reliable as a secondary scorer?

Mike Matheson’s second season with the Canadiens saw him stay healthy and as a result, he had a career year. Could another 60-point showing be in the cards or is he a candidate to take a step back?

Alex Newhook’s first year with Montreal was somewhat of a mixed bag with some good performances, some bad ones, and some time on IR. Nonetheless, it’s reasonable to expect that the best is still to come from him.

Last season, Jayden Struble was one of Montreal’s better stories, going from being an under-the-radar rookie in Laval to a regular on the back end for the Canadiens.  Despite that, it doesn’t look great for him to break camp with the Habs as things stand.
