## Resource

The Canadiens’ playoff run this year was gutsy but ultimately fell short against a fast Carolina team, exposing their inexperience as offense vanished in the final four games. Despite building a talented, consistent roster, they’ll need smart moves in free agency to stay competitive — especially with goalie Jakub Dobes’ inconsistency mirroring the team’s struggles. With $11M in cap space and key decisions looming around Montembeault’s future, GM Kent Hughes must act fast. Coach St. Louis and his young squad have the talent to keep contending, but becoming true Cup contenders? That’s still a steep climb.
