Can Montreal’s super pest bounce back from an injury plagued campaign? Are 30 goals an attainable target? Will he remain the most annoying Montreal Canadien now that Andrew Shaw has joined the Canadiens’ ranks? Let’s find out.
As Andrei Markov heads into the final year of his contract in 2016-17, will the Habs look to better manage his minutes? If so, how much will that affect his production? We kick off our annual Fantasy Focus series with a look at the veteran blueliner.
We’ve addressed many players in our Fantasy Focus series over the past six weeks but there are still some important questions to ask. We tackle those to conclude our series for this year with the Habs Fantasy Mailbag.
Over the past month, we’ve looked at the Habs and their likely fantasy impact over a full season. Several players that weren’t covered in the individual profiles can still not only fill useful roles for the Canadiens but for your pool team as well.
Over the past few years, the Habs have had quite a few youngsters step into the lineup. This season, there aren’t many spots open but several prospects will get a chance at some point to make their mark.
As a leader both on and off the ice and with his knee problems firmly behind him, Andrei Markov remains an important piece of the Habs puzzle. He may have lost a step or two but The General is as smart as ever and remains a valuable contributor.
Jeff Petry made an immediate impact with the Habs after being acquired at the trade deadline. Now armed with a new long-term deal, what should be expected of him in his first full season with the Canadiens?
