The Montreal Canadiens 2023-24 season does not promise to be one of the best in the long history of the franchise.

Of course, when a team has done as much winning and has employed as many superstars and Hall of Fame members as the Canadiens, the bar is set pretty high for a memorable season. Nothing short of a Stanley Cup championship is considered a huge achievement for the organization.

Yeah, that run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2021 was memorable, and fun to watch, and captured the attention of the fan base for those couple of months. But years from now, will people speak of the great run to the finals in 2021 when discussing all the historic accomplishments of the Montreal Canadiens franchise?

Well, honestly, probably not. And the 2023-24 season probably won’t go down in history as one of the most memorable in franchise history either. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be historic moments along the way.

There are a number of individuals on the roster that are set to achieve a rare milestone in the upcoming season. Several players are on the verge of games played, or goals scored milestones that may not set Habs records, but will be accomplishments those players remember for the rest of their lives.

With expectations low for the Canadiens in the upcoming season, watching some of their best and biggest fan favorite players chase down and achieve individual accolades will be something worth keeping an eye on for all fans this season.

So, who is on the verge of reaching an important benchmark in their career? There are many, so we are going to take a look at five different players who are close to reaching a major achievement in their career and will likely do so with the Habs in the upcoming season.
