Last year, the Habs surprised many by finding a way to qualify for the playoffs. The club had a huge finish to the season, which earned them the final playoff berth in the East… where they were eliminated in five games by the Capitals.Most importantly, it gave the youngsters the playoff experience, which,however brief,wasa formativeexperiencefor them.Thatsaid, the club has decided to build on this and improve this summer. In addition to Ivan Demidov, who will be playing his first full NHL season, the Habs acquired Noah Dobson and Zachary Bolduc, among others. So, when you look at this, you can see that the Habs have improved… and it’s interesting to see that the NHL’s official website puts the Habs in its Super 16, its ranking of the league’s top 16 teams.The Habs rank 15th, just ahead of the Blues and just behind the Senators.
Almost August? Time for some Super 16 power rankings!
