With the NHL 2020-21 season looking to puck-drop in mid-January 2021, all eyes will be on the Tampa Bay Lightning, who many predict stand a good chance of repeating in 2021.  You can try sports Interaction referral code to take a look.

The Montreal Canadiens concluded the 2019-20 better than expected, mainly due to the fact they technically made the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.  That was due to an added “play-in” round the NHL established following a four month shut-down due to the pandemic ravaging the planet.

Nonetheless, although the Canadiens upset the Pittsburgh Penguins in that round, they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round of the playoffs.  A loss attributed mostly due to shortcomings on their roster.

That’s when Canadiens General Manager Marc Bergevin went to work.  He used the off-season to address every organizational need; backup goalie.  Depth on defence.  Size up front.  More scoring.  And even managed to extend a couple of expiring contracts.

One thing that was obvious when play resumed in August, was how a rested Carey Price played for the Canadiens. He was his old self. Showing everyone why he is a an elite goalie in this league. And why Bergevin made it a priority to find Price a suitable backup, especially seeing that during the 2019-20 season, the Canadiens backups won a combined 4 games.

On defence, Brett Kulak turned a few heads where it became apparent that maybe he can be a depth defenceman on this team. With the acquisition of Joel Edmundson, and the arrival of Russian rookie Alexander Romanov, Habs add depth, and puck moving defenceman.

Up front, Max Domi was playing 4th line minutes during the playoffs. And the centre position was getting crowded with the emergence of both Nick Suzuki and Jesperi Kotkamiemi. So Bergevin added some grit and scoring in acquiring Josh Anderson and signing UFA Tyler Toffoli.

the 2020-21 version of the Canadiens will see at least 5 new faces. And all expectations are that this will be a playoffs team. Let’s hope a safe one too!
