Team: 2021-22 Montreal Canadiens

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 31, 2021

Published: Aug. 31, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I explain:

LIne 1- pretty simple, it worked in the playoff and im matching them again. A good playmaker in Suzuki can help two great goal scorer get 25 goals each.

Line 2- Ok I know Drouin at center didnt worked before but who were his winger? Not hoffman and Anderson thats for sure. Drouin the playmaker of that line can work with Anderson who goes get the puck in the corners... Hoffman or Anderson finishes the play. If Drouin can get his usual 50 pts but at the center position well forget KK really fast. I think the whole succes or failure this year depends on Jonathan Drouin.

Line 3- Our new shut down line. Gally still there and we can still expect 25-30 goals from him on an 82 game season (did it or was on pace for it the last 4 season) while Evans can still take a step forward and Armia well we know what he can give us. A big guy who can skate, very underrated.

Line 4- the guys that are left. A good fight between Poehling and Paquette for the 4C spot. With 7M$ in cap space I wouldnt be mad at all if we brought Staal back on a 1yr deal at less than a mil. he was really good in the postseason.

def 1- Petry-Eddy u already know it

def 2 and 3 - Not that I love the Chiarot-Norlinder pair (kulak can play there if norlinder isnt ready yet) but I really want Romanov to play with Savard. Romy-Savard could be our 2nd pair actually

goalie- expecting 47 games for Price and 35 for Allen. This is a really good tandem.


a good thing too will be when Byron comes back, he could really help us
