The Montreal Canadiens are not perfect. In fact, they’re far from it, which is to be expected from a rebuilding team. This means the Canadiens have areas they must improve in if they want to one day become a cup-contending team. There might be more than one “need,” but typically, there is one area a team could stand to improve in more so than the others. The challenge is figuring it out and, more notably, planning how they could go about improving it?
For the Canadiens, that need is unquestionably the offense, which has been average at best for a very long time.
