How Halak (Eventually) Landed Laine For The Canadiens
The 2009-10 season was a magical one for the Montreal Canadiens. It was a special year, the one in which the team celebrated its centennial, the first NHL team to do so. Special jerseys, the unveiling of the Ring of Honour, and a centennial game against the Boston Bruins, which the Habs won 5-1.

What the Puck: Expect the Canadiens to take a step forward next season
This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Addition of Noah Dobson and Zachary Bolduc, plus a full season of Ivan Demidov should propel Montreal into the playoffs for a second straight year. Last updated 3 minutes ago Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis talks to his players during a practice this past April. Allen McInnis/Montreal Gazette In the sweltering dog days of July, our thoughts naturally turn to … next season's Montreal Canadiens lineup! For us hockey obsessives, it's part of the beauty of living in Quebec — hockey talk never stops, even during a summer heat wave. I remember years ago swimming in a lake in the Townships and spending a half-hour in the water in the noonday sun chatting Habs with my buddy Karsten.

The big additions are defenceman Noah Dobson and winger Zachary Bolduc. Both are upgrades any which way you look at it. Essential Oilers news, insight, opinion and analysis. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again The signing of Montrealer Joe Veleno Wednesday is a much more minor add. The centre from Kirkland inked a one-year $900,000 contract with the Habs and presumably he's at best a fourth-line centre or maybe even someone who can help the Rocket in Laval. He's a left-shot centre and that's something the Canadiens strongly needed. But thus far in the National Hockey League, he's underwhelmed. The departures include David Savard, Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, Emil Heineman and Michael Pezzetta. Savard was very good on the penalty kill and did yeoman service blocking shots. But he retired for a reason — he was seriously banged up after all those years sacrificing his body on the ice and by last season he was literally lumbering around. With Dobson being added to the blue line, the D is better, no questions asked. Dvo and Army are big losses because, with Jake Evans, they were the team's key PK dudes. So others will have to step up in that department. Heineman was a forward with some toughness and skill, but Bolduc last season showed he can also play that gritty style and he clearly has way more offensive upside than Heineman. Here's the key question right now about nos Canadiens: Do you think they will take a step forward next season, a step back or stay at about the same level? I would say the team will take a modest step forward and will probably be back in the playoffs. But there are no guarantees. To move forward, Juraj Slafkovsky has to play a consistent full season, something he's yet to do. Patrick Laine has to continue to pop in those power-play goals on a regular basis. Lane Hutson can't have a sophomore slump. Dobson has to show that he's more like the guy who put up 70 points two seasons ago than he is the fellow who only garnered 39 points last season. Bolduc, honestly, I have no worries about. He's going to be great. This advertisement has not loaded yet. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The other cool thing is that with the addition of Veleno gives Montreal six Québécois players, the most local players the team has had since 2008-2009. I have to applaud this as a chap who published a book last year, Le CH et son peuple, that made the case that the bleu-blanc-rouge had their greatest success when the roster was at its most Québécois. The six Quebecers are Veleno, Bolduc, Alexandre Carrier, Mike Matheson, Samuel Montembeault and Samuel Blais. It's interesting to underline that the team now has two bilingual anglo West Islanders in Veleno and Matheson. So much for the stereotype of the unilingual anglo! I posed the question about whether the Habs were moving forward or backward to the hockey-mad folks on my social networks and here are a few responses. Neath Turcot: It's going to be the most interesting year in a long time. I do think they will make the playoffs. Is Montembeault going to step up and be the man? They now have second round potential, but maybe not enough experience to get beyond that. But they will be one of the most fun teams in the league to watch. Sébastien Joannette: 'Trust the process.' This time … I actually believe. With Dobson finally giving us a real top-pair defenceman and Demidov arriving straight from his teenage KHL domination tour, things are starting to feel dangerously competent. Add a maturing core, a coach the players would probably follow into a volcano, and yeah — I'm all in. This season: big step forward. Two years from now? Parade planning. Don't act surprised. David Lametti: Improved on D: Dobson a major improvement, possibly Reinbacher. Improved top 6: Demidov gets a full season, Slaf only getting better; Bolduc; Dach healthy. Laine an enigma, but at least is healthy and hopefully a half-step quicker. Losing Armia and Dvorak is tough on the PK, but Evans still anchors it with Anderson. Bottom six of Evans, Anderson, Gallagher, Veleno, Newhook and room for Kapanen, Florian X, Beck. Goaltending is underrated and Fowler is waiting. Eminence grise: Probably won't make the playoffs, unless you think Joe Veleno just put them over the hump, lol. Adam Noodelman: I think a step forward in points but probably still a wild card in the playoffs because the top 3 teams in the Atlantic Division are still quite formidable in the regular season. Wild card 1 should be attainable though. Anna Winters: Same level. Doug Miller: We are going to be far better and an absolute joy to watch! Teams will not take the Habs lightly and will play their starting goalies all the time.
