Jonathan Drouin has already shown himself to be a productive player in his brief NHL career. Now with a chance for a bigger role with Montreal, he could be poised to have a breakout season in 2017-18.
Despite all the trade speculation, Alex Galchenyuk will be around to start next season and could be poised to become a breakthrough performer for the Habs in 2017-18.
It is officially over. After 16 seasons, Andrei Markov will not be in a Canadiens uniform to start the 2017-2018 season, the team announced on Thursday.
As the roster currently stands, the Habs will be counting on some breakout seasons. The top candidate when thinking about potential breakout years on this team is none other than Artturi Lehkonen.
