He quietly put up a good statistical season. Considering his shooting percentage wasn't great and his defensive play got better, it was a good season from him which offered a lot of promise.

While our record is basically the same as last season, there was definitely more hope this season. We have a top line now, Newhook showed a lot of promise as a good secondary scorer, we're loaded with young defenseman, our goaltending situation is stable. If we can get Dach back at 100%, trade for a top 6 forward and nail our draft pick, then I'm feeling pretty good for next season.

Lol to be fair he did say he will figure something out
Not to mention that Slaf bought Xhekaj dinner every time he stepped up for him last year

This rebuild looks very promising. So many question marks from last year were answered this year and the answers have been mostly positive. Sure there's still some crap to clear out from the Bergevin era but this core already looks competitive and we're not even done building it.
I would like to see us making a push for the playoffs next year, unfortunately the Atlantic is a bloodbath right now with four good teams refusing to decline and four young teams looking to exit the rebuild phase. But this team is no longer going to exist just to be ragdolled by better, more experienced teams.

Tank be damned, this team's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory leaves a sour taste and needs to change.
For me, that's on the coaching.

Not for me, I love seeing away teams give it large to home crowds. England football mentality.
Good for Sprong - I mean, if your surname is Sprong, you need to have some way of getting even with the world.

No real defensive line this year. Should be the last thing they put together before competing. Defensive players are relatively affordable and available.
Made some fairly surly hits also, did not look out of place at all!

Even though we may pick exactly where we did last year - the progress in the key pieces of the rebuild were evident and in some cases (Slafkovsky) unprecedented.
We are adding Beck, Mesar, and Engstrom to the pro level next year, too. With Dach hopefully healthy.

It was for 20 goals, he got another one for being top six in forward TOI.
He would've got another bonus for 35 assists and another if he reached 60 points.

For a team that ended their season 5th or 6th worst overall, we couldn’t ask for a more entertaining end to a long season. Credit to the Wings and their star players for never giving up in these last 2 games and getting them both to exciting overtimes.
And with Slavkovsky getting his 20th goal and 50th point off a shot by Hutson, we couldn’t ask for a much more fitting final goal of the season for the Habs as a signpost for what we can look forward in the upcoming seasons.
Nice also to see Newhouse get his 15th, his line with Gallagher (nice to see him play the whole season without injury in spite of his never-ending fearlessness) and Armia provided some secondary scoring.
Great start for both Hutson and Mailloux, and I love how they both got ice time at the end and in the overtime of tight games. That is a great experience for them, and both handled it well.
Even if Dach is healthy next year I think this team is still far from being a contender next year. However, compared to last season, this year ends with the pieces starting to be there for the Habs to be playoff contenders down the road. In particular, they had a real first line this year and none of Suzuki, Slavkovsky nor Caufield are at their prime yet.
Overall, lots of reason to be optimistic about the future and direction of this team.

There is a lot to like with this team.
More youth next year and hopefully a full year of Monty/Primeau to better gauge what we can get from them.
And please, stay healthy(ier) next season.

Cringe intermission moment last night was when Arbon Basu ( steve erkul/peter sellers clone) talked about Maillioux's progression since the Switzerland incident and the look his co-host had( like she wanted to rip his balls off).

From a rando on Twitter:
“NHL Draft lottery is not official yet, but last season it was May 8. I believe it would generally be after the first round of the playoffs are over. Playoffs start April 20 this season, last season they started April 17.”
