Rebuilding without any rookies in the lineup: a possibility for the Canadiens
Auteur: Manuel Sperandio-LemayBut is it possible to believe that the CH could have no actual rookies in its line-up on the first day of the regular season in 2023-2024? It’s possible.
And it’s hitting home.
But the journalist from La Presse is right: it’s possible that no player will get his first taste of the NHL next October.
Among goaltenders, we know that no goaltender will be a rookie. Cayden Primeau is the youngest of the lot, but he won’t make the club anyway – barring a surprise.
Defensemen? I talked about that this morning: there won’t be anyone new. The blue line will be young, but no rookie on the horizon for Stéphane Robidas at curtain-raiser.
And sending Chris Wideman to Laval might be more complicated than we think → https://t.co/khb8jxAn2o

Things may change along the way, but among the forwards, we can expect to see Suzuki, Caufield, Anderson, Gallagher, Dvorak, Armia, Dach, Newhook, Monahan, Evans, Harvey-Pinard, Slafkovsky, Pezzetta and Ylönen make the club.
Of course, Dvorak’s injury (or any other injury) may change things, but even so, it’s possible to believe that only 13 forwards will start the season in town.

– Ouch.
The NHL is going into its 3rd year of its 7 year media rights deal with ESPN. Since that time, ESPN’s subscriber base has fallen from 80 million to 45 million. Disney (parent company of ESPN) is now actively searching for a “strategic partner” for the network.
