Canadiens Need Second-Line Center | Montreal Canadiens News

Montreal Canadiens fans are split on whether to overhaul the roster or stick with the core — but most agree: run it back. The real question is filling that critical second-line center spot, where a true difference-maker could elevate this young, hungry team from good to championship-caliber. While talent like Slafkovsky and Demidov is promising, and goalie Jakub Dobi is rising, the lack of a proven elite center might be holding them back. Experience gained in the playoffs — even after an early exit — is invaluable for growth. The plan? Stay mostly intact, let the kids develop, and make smart tweaks along the way.
