The Montreal Canadiens went through the offseason without adding the established second-line center many expected — so who fills that major role to start the season?
With training camp approaching, Martin St-Louis has some fascinating options.
Could Alex Newhook finally get an extended opportunity down the middle? Is Oliver Kapanen ready to take another step and claim the job? Or could a healthy Kirby Dach get another chance to prove he can be the Canadiens' answer at second-line center?
On today's Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down all three candidates, what each player brings to the position, who fits best alongside Montreal's wingers, and what Martin St-Louis could be looking for when camp begins.
The Canadiens didn't go outside the organization to find their 2C. Maybe the answer was already here.
Who would YOU start at second-line center: Newhook, Kapanen or Dach?
