Alexander "#BestNylander" would give Montreal a potential star

The Montreal Canadiens are a solid team, for sure. It's hard to knock a team that includes all-world defenseman P.K. Subban. Couple that with one of the most underrated goal-scorers in the league in Max Pacioretty, two young players with 30-goal potential in Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher, and a solid supporting cast, and you have a team that maybe should've been better than they were last season.

Of course, I didn't mention all-world goalie Carey Price, whose exit from the lineup after 12 games tanked Montreal's season after a hot start. The loss of their rock in goal was something the Habs couldn't recover from, despite this largely still being a team that made the Eastern Conference Final two years ago and won another playoff series last year.
