Kirby Dach
Despite all the injury concerns, people still hold on to hope that Kirby Dach will be the Canadiens' second-line center when they finally become a contender. Like Newhook, Dach had a career year in his first season with the Canadiens while only playing 58 games. He missed all but two games last season, but could also be in for a breakout if he plays close to 82.
The Canadiens pay Dach $3.4 million for the next two seasons, and it's difficult not to see the Canadiens surprising some people if Dach and Newhook remain healthy while making a little over $6 million combined.
