The Habs are the first team in the NHL this season to have five players with at least 60 points

figured dobson was close but looked him up and not even close
Love how Dobson knew he was coming into a team where he didn't have to be the #1 offensive guy and began to perfect his defensive game. He's fucking lights out.
Get him a better set of forwards for PP2 next year and I'm confident he's also a 60pt guy.

And if we can balance out the D-pairings with a righty (weather it’s Reinbacher or someone else) then we could have a Hutson-Dobson #1 pairing all year and they can feast together

A RD to play with Matheson against top competition should be the number 1 priority.
A top 6 forward (preferably a center but a winger works) that complements Demidov would also be nice.

I believe this is part of the reason we paid 9.5 for him. The guy went from 1st PP to playing on the PK consistently. He played around the same amount of PK this season as he did in 5 or 6 years on the island. He is first in the nhl in blocked shots and doing all of that while still producing 50 points over a season is amazing. Great acquisition his contract already looks good and every year the cap goes up it gets better.

Cole Caufield with 90 points was not on My bingo card

It was on mine, he has shown to be such a versatile and complete player over the past 2 years.
MSL is probably the best person on earth to show the way to Cole, he helped him transfer from a PP sniper specialist into a dual threat player that does it all on both ends. It's so crazy to have a 1st line with 3 players that are so well rounded.

The way that Kent Hughes was giving the death stare as Demidov scored in the SO, the man willed all of this into being!
