Montreal Canadiens sign Lukas Vejdemo to entry-level contract


Montreal Canadiens has the third overall choice, but must develop for a specific need for an NHL project this year.

In Montreal, the Canadiens was a lousy season in 2017-18. It started badly, and they never returned the train to the tracks. There were many more falls than the takeoffs for the Habs, which, unfortunately, they could not overcome.

However, this leads to the fact that the team rises to the podium to the majority in the NHL project. Canadiens was the 28th best album in the 31st team. Thanks to a small lottery, they jumped on the third overall choice.

This gives the team the opportunity to add a much needed shot of talent. When the team sits so low in the standings, they can usually add talent to any position. However, Habs can afford to be a little more picky than most teams on the wrong end of the page of the standings.

Canadiens, obviously, will not seek to add a goalkeeper in the near future. They also boast an impressive group of winged on both sides of the line. Shea Weber, Jeff Petri and Noah Iulseen seem to be the right side of the blue line for years to come.

This leaves Montreal with needs in the center and on the left defense. This was an understatement, let me try again. Montreal Canadiens desperately needs a huge infusion of talent in the center and will have a great chance in the lottery in 2019 if they can not find a suitable partner for Weber.

The problem is that the consensus of the third common choice is the winger. So there will be a fourth choice. The fifth choice looks like a winger. It usually makes sense to draw the best available player, especially at the top of the draft.

However, adding a qualified winger does not fill the need for Habs. They should try to fill the organizational need with a third common choice.

This is more than two decades, in Montreal there was not enough ice center. They thought they had occupied the first center of the first line for the last time, when they had the third overall choice, but Alex Galchenyuk remains on the wing. Last year they exchanged their best prospect for a winger and tried to put him in the center.

The team desperately needs the upper center of the bonafide. They have a chance to fill this void in June this year in Dallas. The consensus choice is Philip Zadina or Brady Tkachuk, a couple of winged ones. Great players, but definitely not the most suitable for Habs.

The Canadiens must focus their attention on the best mediators. Forget Zadina or Tkachuk, block your target Joe Veleno, Rasmus Kupari, Yesperi Kotkaniemi or Barrett Haiton.

The Canadiens were looking for the center of the first line longer than the Philadelphia Flyers were looking for the starting goalkeeper. It's time to finally put an end to their search. They have the opportunity in this project and they need to use it.

Montreal Canadiens: Ranking Who Habs Fans Should Cheer For

OHL's playoffs finally ended, and the Montreal Canadiens Vista Will Bite along with his Hamilton Bulldogs is the team on the top. Four series and 16 wins - all you need to win the championship. To say this is so that the journey sounds so simple, but it's far from the case. However, despite several hits on the road, Hamilton's Bulldogs made it easy. Now they, and, most importantly, the Montreal Canadiens, the nickname Will Bitten are the champions of the OHL. Many thought that Hamilton would fight on the way to the finals, especially in the second round. But they adhered to the game plan and continued to perform. Whenever they found themselves on the other side of the victory, the team quickly assembled and responded well. Their difficult task appeared in their series against Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (no duh), as they were ardent outsiders.

Montreal Canadiens Set Up For Their Best Draft Ever

Montreal Canadiens goes to the off-season with an abundance of sediment. This gives them the opportunity to create a franchise for the next decade. Montreal Canadiens suffered from a miserable season 2017-18. The victory in 29 games during the long 82nd game schedule is not ideal. In fact, the team only had twice less wins, dating back to the 1963 season. One of them was in 1994-1995, when the lockout reduced the NHL calendar to 48 games. Even in 2012-13, although they played 48 games, they were able to win 29 games. Hell, in the 1940s there were only 50 or 60 game schedules, but they could still win 30. Going out in first place in 29 of 82 games should not happen in the era of NHL parity. The bright side of horror in the NHL is that you are rewarded with the best choice in the NHL project. Montreal did not get the best choice, but should choose the third in the annual tournament. They are not only ranked third, but also general manager Mark Bergewin has been collecting fees for ...

Bouchard hiring could lead him to bigger things with Canadiens

On Thursday, Montreal Canadiens named coach Lauel Raul, his partner of the American Hockey League, Joel Buschar. The 44-year-old Bouchard is doing well in Sylvain Lefevre, who was fired at the end of the regular season after six years of work. It was also announced that the assistants of Lefevre Donald Dufreve and Nick Carrier will not return. Bouchard left as co-owner, president, general manager and coach of the Blaineville-Boisbrand Armada of the Quebec Majors of the Junior Hockey League to accept a missile work that one day could lead to coaching or management work with the NHL club.
