The Montreal Canadiens surprised a lot of fans when they moved newcomer Max Domi to center a year ago. It worked out extremely well as he went on to set career highs in almost all offensive categories. It’s safe to say he will be a fixture at center ice next season.
There has been some minor tinkering among the Canadiens forwards since the end of last season. Andrew Shaw is gone after a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. Nicolas Deslauriers was shipped to the Anaheim Ducks.
This won’t have a huge impact on the Habs roster, but Shaw played a fairly prominent role in all situations so things will be shaken up a bit by these trades.
