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?

After inking a big contract last summer, expectations were even higher for Cole Caufield heading into last season and he responded with a career year. Can he set new personal bests once again next season?
