There weren’t a lot of bright spots throughout last season in Montreal but Samuel Montembeault was one of them. The netminder took a step forward in his performance, leading some to wonder if he has more improvement to come in 2023-24.
To say things have not gone well for Brendan Gallagher in the last couple of years would be a significant understatement. Is there any cause for optimism that he could turn things around in 2023-24?
When he traded Jeff Petry, GM Kent Hughes acknowledged his goal is to start the upcoming season with Carey Price on the season-opening roster, allowing them to use in-season LTIR. They have some work to do to get to that point.
After struggling with Chicago, the change of scenery worked rather well for Kirby Dach last season as he was able to secure a big role in Montreal’s offence. What might he have in store for his second year with the Canadiens?
When Logan Mailloux signed his entry-level deal last year, word came out that he was not eligible to play in the NHL. It appears that’s no longer the case according to a report from TVA Sports’ Renaud Lavoie.
