Montreal enters the regular season hoping to take another step in a rebuild that began two seasons ago when the club finished last in the NHL. Last year, the Canadiens were 28th.
“It’s the growth, it’s getting better, it’s getting better as a team. It’s all these young players — where are their ceilings?” vice president of hockey operations Jeff Gorton told reporters at the Canadiens golf tournament in September. “We’re trying to find out who’s going to be here as we get to that next level.”
The expectation that the still-rebuilding Canadiens might be outside the playoff picture once again is only realistic. “We don’t play to not make the playoffs,” said Suzuki. “I think it should be every team’s goal to make the playoffs, to win the Stanley Cup.” The 19-year-old winger from Slovakia is a key piece to the Canadiens’ rebuild. They’re hoping he can bounce back in Year 2 after a solid pre-season.
Dach, 22, showed signs of his pedigree as a Grade A prospect with 38 points in 58 games for the Canadiens last season.
