With the 2019 training camp underway, Montreal Canadiens fans have a lot to be excited about. First, the players are healthy. Shea Weber, Carey Price and company, recently, at the team’s annual golf tournament, expressed their excitement to get the season started, after a summer of focused training.
Second, several of the team’s prominent players had career years last season: notably forwards Max Domi, Tomas Tatar and Philip Danault, in points, and Brendan Gallagher in goals. On defence, Jeff Petry, Brett Kulak, and Victor Mete all marked their most productive seasons.
Third, general manager, Marc Bergevin, made several off season moves to bolster the roster and make it a playoff team: adding Nick Cousins up front, Ben Chiarot on defence, and Keith Kinkaid in net, amongst a few other minor moves.
