With the Canadiens' season in the books, their performances are ready to be evaluated in full. EricEngels breaks down who made the grade and who came up short:
: Emerged as a legitimate top-four defenceman, played against top opposition every night and was over 50 per cent in corsi. At 20-years-old, the party is just getting started for this 5-foot-9 speedster.Mike Reilly, GP: 57 | G: 3 | A: 8 | P: 11: Reilly has the speed, the passing ability and the shot to be a legitimate offensive defenceman. But if he doesn’t provide offence—he didn’t provide enough of it in the 57 games he played—he doesn’t do enough to justify his place in the lineup.
We felt as bad as anyone seeing him choke back tears as he discussed his murky future in Montreal when he met reporters earlier this week, but he was his own worst enemy this season. Bad offensive-zone penalties, bad puck management, and a lack of speed put him in Julien’s doghouse.: Be the hungriest player at training camp next fall. Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said on Tuesday that he hasn’t thrown in the towel on you, Charles. Show him what kind of player you can be.
