The Habs held their annual charity golf tournament on Monday and as usual, there were a few newsworthy tidbits that came out from it. Here is a wrap-up from the day.
Brett Kulak showed some signs of offensive talent after being brought up by the Habs last November. Does that make him a possible sleeper for 2019-20 as he enters his first full season with the team?
Max Domi’s impact on the Habs was unexpected last season, rising to the top center of the team and leading them in scoring. Will he be able to continue that important role for the Habs in 2019-20?
Shea Weber’s absence was certainly felt at the beginning of last season but he made a big impact upon his return. What should be expected from him if he can stay healthy for all of 2019-20?
Carey Price struggled at the start of last season, but ended up playing at an elite level down the stretch. Will Carey be able to build off of that momentum, contend for a Vezina trophy, and propel Montreal back into the playoffs?
Joel Armia showed some flashes offensively last season although his overall numbers didn’t stand out. Despite that, the Finnish winger could be in line for a career year in 2019-20.
Expectations were relatively low for Tomas Tatar after he was acquired right before training camp. However, after a career year, those expectations will be a lot higher heading into 2019-20. Will he be able to live up to them?
Jesperi Kotkaniemi showed flashes of becoming a top centre down the road for the Habs last season. What type of an increase in production should they be expecting from him in 2019-20?
Brendan Gallagher has taken considerable strides over the last two seasons to become a two-time 30-goal scorer. Will he be able to make it three straight years in 2019-20?
