With the recent election ofIvan Demidov and decisions from previous years, many fans of the Montreal Canadiens are rightly optimistic about the future of the organization. The same goes for our current young players, Nick Suzuki And Cole CaufieldHowever, the organization’s history shows that expectations for certain players were often excessive.
With that in mind, the opinion of an expert who has participated in the best selections in Anaheim Ducks history is valuable.
In fact, as part of his transition to The sick podcast from Tony Marinarothe former chief scout of the Ducks and responsible for draft picks Corey Perry And Ryan Getzlaf, Alain Chaineyshared his predictions about the Canadiens’ core of young players, focusing on their potential production in the future.
This is what fans can expect from CH players in top form:
Juraj Slafkovsky
Juraj Slafkovsky will be a front-line player. We’re talking about 35 goals and 90 points per day.
– Alain ChaineyThe sick podcast
If this is the case, the CEO of the Tricolore, Kent Hughescould be considered a genius. With an 8-year contract and an average annual value of $7.6 million, Hughes would have hit a real home run.
Nick Suzuki
Nick Suzuki, about 80 to 85 points. I don’t know if he’s the number one centre, but he’s the number one centre for the Canadiens.
– Alain ChaineyThe sick podcast
As for the Habs captain, that opinion remains to be seen, as Suzuki has steadily improved throughout his career and has never had a season with fewer points than the previous one. He has 77 points in the 2023/24 season. It remains to be seen what his contribution cap will be.
Kirby Roof
It’s a mystery to me. He has all the tools to be a second-line player and produce. Will he stay healthy?
– Alain ChaineyThe sick podcast
Regarding Kirby Dach, the analyst of VAT Sports expressed some reservations, especially due to his physical condition and the fact that he has not played a full season yet. It is still difficult to say how many points he will score at his peak.
Cole Caufield
Between 35 and 40 goals. I don’t think he’ll reach 50.
– Alain ChaineyThe sick podcast
As for Caufield, Chainey was optimistic but reasonable. In 82 games this year, he has 65 points, including 28 goals.
Ivan Demidov
I think he will be a star!
– Alain ChaineyThe sick podcast
The expert expressed his great enthusiasm for Demidov, calling him the organization’s greatest talent. As for the points, however, it remains to be seen how this will translate due to a lack of references.
Lane Hutson
It all comes down to his production. With his size, it will be difficult for him to be successful if he doesn’t produce. If he is able to put points on the board, he will be a top-three defender.
– Alain ChaineyThe sick podcast
Lane Hutson emphasized an essential prerequisite for success. In his final season, he scored 49 points in 38 games, including 34 goals and 15 assists.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the young CH players.
