Did a team lose as many key pieces from last year as Montreal? Montreal lost their assist leader Blerim Dzemaili who added 10 assists and 7 goals to the club’s attack last year. Talented youngster, Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla was snatched up by Barcelona B and Belgian International Laurent Ciman was sent packing to Los Angeles FC. All three, major losses.
Key Additions
In return for Laurent Ciman, Montreal did get Raheem Edwards who was acquired from LAFC by way of Toronto. Another newcomer to watch for is Saphir Taider. The midfielder isn’t scared to take a shot because he leads Montreal with 36 shots, but only one goal.
