The Montreal Canadiens have new faces in Max Domi and some players on the team looking to exceed their past performances next season.

It’ll be another 3-4 weeks before things get started in the NHL and the Montreal Canadiens remain as one of the more interesting teams heading into the new season. There have been some slight roster changes with Max Domi in for Alex Galchenyuk and Joel Armia being the ‘Thank You’ gift for taking on Steve Mason‘s contract, not to mention some free agent signings who are looking to make an immediate impact.

However, it’s not only the new players who fans should be paying attention to. Some who were on the Habs last season could be on their way to a year full of milestones, in particular, the youth on the team.

Many are going to have their own opinions on this, including the writers at A Winning Habit. Our first Roundtable included a discussion about the Max Pacioretty trade situation, standouts from the 2018 NHL Draft Class, and the remaining restricted free agents was a fun way to put out our ideas at the same time. So, we thought it would be a good idea to keep it going with a new crop of topics.

The number of (real) storylines around the Montreal Canadiens will continue up until the regular season continues. Pacioretty is still a member of the team, and probably will still be as the year goes on. The trade deadline is likely the destination for the trade to happen. But, there are still other things to discuss ahead of the 2018-19 season.
