And there are lots of them. But the most important one for Habs GM Marc Bergevin is that he should immediately begin meaningful negotiations with Nick Suzuki
KK said the Habs could have done better with his development. What did you expect a player that under-performs, say? How did Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk do and Suzuki and Caufield? All picked higher. KK proved in his first season he could play in this league, the year after, he falthered, he was sent down, played at a point/game, what else could have been done? In the AHL playing a point/game, means you deserve a try-out in the big league.
Hindsight is always 20-20. It's just like people comparing Dvorak to Danault, the two guys played on different teams! With the Habs' Ds weighing two tons and Price behind you, it's easier to get good defensive numbers, however, in hindsight both Tatar and Danault under-performed when Gallagher was injured, Why? I think that Gallagher is like Markov, he makes others look good. I just hope that Dvorak reacts like Domi did, proved he was a better player away from the Yotes.
Danault, KK, Staal and Perry combines for 24 goals, Dvorak, Hoffman, Paquette and Perreault 47 goals, that 23 goals difference will convert to some wins, not counting the Covid schedule of 25 in 43 nights and the injuries to key players. Save Weber, the Habs are a better team than last year, and Weber did not play too well due to injuries. Tampa and the Leafs did lose some good players in the off-season, the Habs added some. They do just fine.
I don't think this sentence is correct: "He said that the Canadiens have had their eye on him since his draft year of 2018, when they selected Andrei Svechnikov second overall, one pick before Montreal took Kotkaniemi." Shouldn't that be: "He said that the Hurricanes have had their eye on him since his draft year of 2018, when they selected Andrei Svechnikov second overall, one pick before Montreal took Kotkaniemi."
