The Montreal Canadiens are coming off of a somewhat disappointing 2022-23 season in which they finished in 28th place in the NHL. Of course, for a rebuilding squad, it’s not that surprising to see them towards the bottom of the standings. Still, the manner in which that happened was not necessarily ideal.

The Canadiens young core wants to win and will be hoping for better results this season. In order to do so, the Canadiens will need things to work out for them a little better this season and, in the process, answer some of the biggest questions we have.

But even if the Canadiens are still rebuilding, and the results don’t come easy, there are still lingering questions. The season isn’t necessarily a failure just because the results are somewhat disappointing. So, with that in mind, let’s look at some of the most burning questions I have for the Canadiens ahead of the 2023-24 season.
