First off, the 25-year-old is up for a contract and, after following up a 72-point season in 2018-19 with just 44 points over his 71 games in 2019-20, this is a golden opportunity for him to prove his worth. That the Canadiens ranked 25th in the NHL in 5-on-5 shooting percentage wasn’t the only reason they tumbled down the standings — subpar goaltending for parts of the season, and horrifically bad special teams for most of it, were big chunks of the problem — but it’s hard to see anything else as a more relevant factor in their foibles.
