Hey pauwoo, my friend.
Good to have you following along.
Things did not go well for your guys this season just ended as they finished in last place in the Atlantic Division with a record of 26-50-6 and an NHL worst (tied with San Jose) 58 points. But hey, at least they should have a chance to get at least one impact prospect in the upcoming draft.
The Canadiens do have one of the more talented young Goalies in 25-year old Gabriel Marchand, who was an All-Star in '20-'21.
And similar to my Avs their best players are two young defencemen who still have room for growth in their game (27-year old LD Eric Deveau, who was also an All-Star in '20-'21 but due to injury issues only played in 33 games this season, 25-year old RD Martin Liska, who they actually picked up off waivers from L.A. this past November), and also 26-year old Right Winger Martin Busmans who fell from a 44 point, +11 season in '20-'21 to a 29 point, -17 season in '21-'22. Busmans' average game rating though rose from 59 to 65 so likely the other stats were more about the team around him performing much less well in the just concluded season.
