One thing for sure, with Ivan Demidov, the core at forwards look very very solid to me. We are in very good hands.
Slafkovsky, Suzuki, Caufield, Dach (need to stay healthy) and Demidov. That's a very solid core to me!
Add to that, Roy, Newhook, Hage, Beck and more... that's really really solid.
At D, Reinbacher can develop into a top pairing two-way beast. Guhle need to be healthy, but he is going to be a excellent top pairing D. Hutson have potential to be a star. Mailloux have all tools to be a top 4 D. Xhekaj is very unique and have high potential aswell. Engstrom, top 4 D potential. Konyushkov aswell. Very good future on D, for sure.
At G's... Fowler, Dobes, Volokhin and Miller that's really good potential right there. I'm very high on Fowler, Dobes and Volokhin.
The future is 100% bright. The rest can be add with UFA's or trades.
The 3 year of tanking are over (except injuries can change everything) but MTL will likely finish top 10-14 next year.
Habs scouts nailed it with Slaf and Demidov, they are both have unreal potential. 80-90 pts is my prediction for both. I'm high on both. Demidov is more talented at offense, but Slaf is also have high offensive talent with amazing physical package.
Reinbacher pick looks even more better after that, less pressure for him and he is going to take all times to develop.
