Jeff Petry stands to be the offensive driving force on the Habs’ blueline with the departure of Andrei Markov which could make him one to watch for in fantasy leagues.
Ales Hemsky is coming off an injury-riddled season that has him off the radar. That could make him an intriguing sleeper option in certain fantasy leagues.
2016-17 was a breakout season for Phillip Danault. He should be able to stick in the top six once again which will give him a chance to beat that performance and have another breakthrough campaign.
Jakub Jerabek is a big wildcard on Montreal’s back end. If he can land the spot alongside Shea Weber, he could be in line for a significant rookie season.
There’s always something to complain about, isn’t there? A 50-win season for the Canadiens, one of the most dominating goaltending performances we’ve seen by a Habs backstopper ever and a second round playoff loss many felt hard done by.
