Scorers of 20 goals (or more): There could be a lot of them for the Habs in 25-26

For a team to win games in the NHL, it has to be able to score goals.We all agree: it’s not rocket science.But the Canadiens have struggled with this in recent years. The club couldn’t count on many quality players, which made things difficult in the end. It’s different today, though. Things are different because, at the time of writing, the Canadiens have several players who have reached that plateau in recent years. Let’s go by enumeration

  • Nick Suzuki (24-25)
  • Cole Caufield (24-25)
  • Brendan Gallagher (24-25)
  • Patrik Laine (24-25)
  • Juraj Slafkovsky (23-24)
  • Josh Anderson (22-23)

To this list, we could practically add Zachary Bolduc, who put 19 in his first full season in the National League. And we could add Ivan Demidov, who has the talent to quickly become one of the National League’s good players.It makes me realize… this: There could be a lot of 20+ goal scorers on the Habs in 25-26, andit also makes you believe that the Canadiens are really well built offensively right now:

[content-ads] Offensively, the Canadiens have the option of offensive players.

And again, at the risk of repeating myself… this wasn’t necessarily the case in recent years. It’s good, that said, because it makes the whole thing even more exciting for fans of the Montreal Canadiens. It’s been really tough since the start of the rebuild, and the club’s performance has disappointed many… but clearly, things are moving forward in the process.

And if the Canadiens end up with several 20-goal scorers or more this season (and in the next few years), that’s going to help things move forward in one direction. In fact, I can’t remember a time when the Habs have had so many quality players on the offensive end… [spacer title=’Overtime’] – Absolutely.

– He got crushed, even.

– Well done.
