Canadiens Veteran Is Big Player To Watch
The Montreal Canadiens are one of the NHL's most intriguing teams, as they have several promising young players who have the potential to become big parts of their future. However, they also have some veterans on their roster to watch in 2025-26, and forward Brendan Gallagher is certainly one of them. While Gallagher's role has changed in recent years with the Canadiens, he is still an important part of the club's roster due to his leadership. With the Canadiens looking to continue to trend in the right direction, having Gallagher around as a mentor for their several youngsters is undoubtedly a good thing. Gallagher also showed this past season with the Canadiens that he is still capable of providing decent secondary scoring at this point of his career. In 82 games with the Habs during the 2024-25 season, the veteran winger recorded 21 goals, 17 assists, and 38 points. He also made an impact with his physicality, as he finished the year 92 hits. The Canadiens will now be hoping for Gallagher to continue to give them solid depth offensive production, leadership, and grit during this upcoming season. He makes the Canadiens a more difficult team to go up against when he's playing at his best, and it will be fascinating to see what kind of year he can put together for the Habs in 2025-26 from here. Canadiens Defenseman Is Interesting Breakout Candidate Earlier this off-season, the Montreal Canadiens re-signed defenseman Jayden Struble to a two-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $1.4125 million. Getting this deal done with Struble was important for the Canadiens, as he is among their most promising young defensemen.

Canadiens: The Grade Are In
Veteran alternate captain Brendan Gallagher had quite an eventful season for the Montreal Canadiens. On the ice, he seemed to finally find the right chair for himself in the later stages of his career, and off the ice, he became a dad and lost his mother Della to cancer. One thing remained constant through the highs and lows: his effort and dedication for the team that drafted him 147th overall at the 2010 draft.
