Where will the goals come from without Max Pacioretty and Alex Galchenyuk?
The Canadiens traded away two of their top goal-scorers in the off-season, but there are some young players who are proving capable of more offence. The 2017-18 Montreal Canadiens scored 207 goals, good for 29th in the NHL and almost 100 goals behind the league-leading 290 posted by the Tampa Bay Lightning. At five-on-five, the Habs were even worse, lighting the lamp more often than only the Buffalo Sabres. As the last season started, two members of the Canadiens’ active roster had produced 30 or more goals in a season: Alex Galchenyuk (2015-16) and Max Pacioretty (2011-12, 13-14, 14-15,...

2018 Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #2 Max Domi
Domi will try to create a name for himself in Montreal during the 2018-19 campaign. Marc Bergevin has not shied away from making franchise-altering moves. On June 15, exactly one year after the Jonathan Drouin for Mikhail Sergachev swap, Bergevin made another big trade, this time acquiring Max Domi from the Arizona Coyotes straight up for Alex Galchenyuk. Naturally, just as Drouin and Shea Weber since their respective trades, Domi will be perceived as a replacement to Galchenyuk, and every move that he makes will be compared to his predecessor. Fortunately for Domi, he is likely to be...

If Danault stays with Pacioretty, the Canadiens have their first-line centre
A mutual partnership saw the duo post metrics among the league’s best last season. “The Montreal Canadiens need a top-line centre.” Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Over the last several years, the Canadiens have struggled to find someone to consistently play alongside Max Pacioretty on their top line. At first, David Desharnais filled the role adequately, but as his talents waned, Alex Galchenyuk was unable (or wasn’t granted the opportunity) to step up in his stead. Two years ago, Phillip Danault found himself next to Pacioretty when Galchenyuk went down with a knee...
