Where will Max Domi line up? Who has impressed most in training camp? EricEngels answers those questions and more in his latest Canadiens Mailbag ⤵️
Now, if you’re asking me what Claude Julien intends to do, it’s a much harder question to answer. Especially since he didn’t speak with media members on Friday.
And if it is the second reason, it’s a strategy that I believe could work. Montreal’s system is a speed-driven and highly demanding system, and if he builds his lines in such a way that he’d feel comfortable with any one of them being on the ice against any of the opposition’s best players, he can ensure his system gets executed the way he wants to see it executed.
Here’s another conclusion that I feel is safe to draw at this stage: no Canadiens player has more to lose in the team’s only exhibition game than Kotkaniemi. He’ll need to play exceptionally well to keep his spot — not only on his current line, but in the lineup.
