“It depends a lot on how the season starts. You know, when you look at the Atlantic division, it looks like Toronto, Tampa Bay, Florida and Ottawa, those teams probably won’t be too many. So, where those are leaving the Atlantic division? It’s going to be an arms race.
And I think when you talk about the Montreal Canadaens and their demand for second-tier centers, that’s not necessarily the prosecution that who is there now, it’s probably Kirby Dach, who started the season there. I’m sure they want to be the second-tier center of their future in a perfect world. But it’s what suits them best. Kirby Dach has been hampered by injury and has not taken this step forward as a player.
NHL Rumor: What is Connor McDavid trying to feel?
If you look at how Montreal will be shaped, they will have Nick Suzuki, who is undoubtedly one of the best two-way centers in the NHL. If it is Dach, (Alex) some combination of Newhook and Jake Evans. What the Montreal Canadiens really lack is a left-handed center where you can trust in a variety of situations to win a key standoff, and maybe even stand there for a fine. Win a big standoff late in the game. Win a large standoff when you need a left-handed shooting.
Christian Dvorak continues to move forward. He is going to Philadelphia flyer. They paid him a lot because he could do it. In the past few years, he was 55% last year and 57% in-person two years ago.

But the current market will tell you that buying such a player is not easy. I can think of two teams on the top of the head: Vancouver, Ganaks, Winnipeg Jets, and they would love to add a quote, the nameless second-line center. Now this is not an easy task.
NHL Rumor: Montreal Canadians Not Completed after Handover of Carey Price Contract
Kent Hughes is really good at doing the right moves at the right time, so he doesn’t do something to do something. But if that happens, the Montreal Candy Man’s game isn’t good enough, like they won’t tread water at the Atlantic, maybe you do have to do something before you really want it.
But there is no doubt that they need to have a left-handed person. Who may be bigger? Who can win the confrontation? Who can be a trustworthy person. Who can really let Nick Suzuki take some of his stress from night to night and become a real second-line center to help the Montreal Canadaens take the next step as a team. ”
