Fantasy Focus: Joel Armia
–
New arrival Joel Armia looks like he’ll be a very useful player on the ice for the Habs but that may not translate into many points for fantasy owners.

Artturi Lehkonen’s name could be found on plenty of potential breakout lists leading up to last season, but it wasn’t to be. Will 2018-19 be the year he breaks through?
The Habs have had some youngsters make an impact for them over the past several years and that’s likely to happen again this year. Here is a look at how some of those prospects could help in fantasy leagues.
Over the past several weeks, we’ve looked at the Habs and their potential fantasy impact for this season. While the rest of the team isn’t likely to have a big impact, many can still fill a role on your pool team. Here’s a look at the rest of Montreal’s projected roster and their potential fantasy usefulness.
Replacing Andrei Markov’s production from the back end isn’t going to be easy and will fall to a group of blueliners. Chief among those defenders is Mark Streit who is set to begin his second stint with Montreal.
Although Paul Byron has been one of Montreal’s best waiver claims in their history, the diminutive winger may be hard-pressed to equal or improve on a very impressive 2016-17 season.
New addition Jonathan Drouin immediately becomes one of Montreal’s most dangerous forwards and will have plenty of opportunities to rack up points for the club – and your fantasy squad.
Tomas Plekanec now stands as the longest tenured Canadien in what might very well be his last season with the team. Will he end his contract on a high note with a strong year?
When Marc Bergevin acquired Andrew Shaw last summer, he was likely hoping that Shaw would have another gear offensively in him. That didn’t happen last year but will his second season in Montreal yield more production?
Montreal has built some solid depth on the wings with the addition of some exciting young talent recently. Artturi Lehkonen is one of these standouts with great potential to be a top-six winger for the club as early as this coming season.
