A new NHL season is upon us, and a few questions surround the Montreal Canadiens after an off-season of change. We attempted to answer some of those questions.
How will the Canadiens fare this season?
David St-Louis: I worry about Carey Price. I don’t know if he will have a true bounce-back performance, and with him not playing to a Vezina standard, the playoffs are in all likelihood out of the picture for the Habs. Still, I expect a better season out of Montreal in 2018-19. And another top-10 pick in June could give the Habs a chance at a strong defenceman for their prospect pool like Tobias Björnfot, Matthew Robinson, Bowen Byram, or Philip Broberg.
