The members of the Montreal Canadiens organization offered their final thoughts on a disappointing season on Monday. Players were disappointed, but still optimistic for the future, while the coach acknowledged that he had some work to do to develop the pieces he has into championship-calibre performers.
The general manager was a bit less optimistic about his team, criticizing his talented players and noting that he needed to be quite busy this summer in order to address the problems with the 2016-17 roster.
The first time he had such thoughts on needing to overhaul his team was after his initial season as the man in charge of a team’s personnel, addressing the Canadiens’ preceived deficiencies after 2013 ‘s five-game loss to the Ottawa Senators in the first round.
