Everyone says the same thing: "The results in the preseason don't matter!"
the preseason for the teams themselves, it's just a long one month warmup / try-outs. Veteran play shouldn't be criticized too harshly and basically everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
However, the preseason does showcase a teams depth as younger players try to push for spots and show how far they've come along into their development.
As a Habs fan this has been a mixed bag of a preseason. Some positive stuff, and some negative stuff. For the negative it's not becasue MTL has 0 wins so far, who cares about that, but that there are plenty of roster spots available and almost no one is stepping up to take those positions. McCarron, Scherbak (MTL first round picks) look terrible in the lineup. De la Rose (MTL 2nd rd pick) has shown no sign of improvement. The positives are those who have stepped up; Hudon and Lehkonen and Mete. Hudon is showing that he can contribute top 6 point production and Lehkonen is turning really nicely into a top 6 forward who is an offensive threat and can be considered one the the best defensive forwards on the team (Marian Hossa style). Mete taking the spot next to Weber can be seen as both good and bad honestly, the fact that a 19year old straight out of the OHL can log solid NHL minutes is a good sign for the Habs, but it also shows that there's really no one else on Defense that can play with Weber, Alzner seems already set to make a pairing with Petry, and after that theres not much else showing any promise.
What do you think your teams preseason so far?
