Summary
Montreal’s GM Kent Hughes is doubling down on the current roster, prioritizing cap discipline while building around a strong goalie, solid defense, and rising offensive stars like Slafkovsky and Demidov. The real challenge? Finding a true second-line center — Kirby Dach’s role seems better suited for the bottom six. While Newhook’s playoff heroics were vital, he’s not the caliber of second-line center needed to compete for titles. With a young core gaining invaluable experience through tough losses and game sevens, the plan is clear: run it back, let them grow, and make small tweaks as they evolve into a consistent contender.
