The Montreal Canadiens are poised to make significant changes as they seek improvement for next season. The focus will be on bolstering their second line, particularly the crucial 2C position, which has been a topic of discussion for several seasons. The Canadiens’ top line, featuring Juraj Slafkovsky, Cole Caufield, and Nick Suzuki, has shown promise, but the second line's composition remains a challenge.

Kirby Dach's repeated injury woes have left his status uncertain, making the quest for a reliable 2C even more pressing. With only 59 games played over the last two seasons, Dach must prove himself during training camp to secure his role. General Manager Kent Hughes emphasized that the upcoming summer could be pivotal for the franchise's trajectory, with potential moves hinging on the right fit and increased team competitiveness.
