When you think of the possibility of adding a star player to the Canadiens' roster, the world instantly goes wild. This time, it just might be through the draft. With barely a game played this campaign, the predictions are already coming in. According to JFresh, the Tricolore will finish 31st in the NHL in 2023-24. His predictions are based on three criteria: his analytical calculation model, sports betting odds and fan predictions. With sensational players like Macklin Celebrini and Cole Eiserman, the Canadiens would once again have the chance to get their hands on a future star. As much as we'd like to see the Habs improve, let's face it, the Atlantic division is very strong and all the teams have improved. Personally, I don't think the CH will finish 31st, but they should finish in the bottom third once again. <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=fr dir=ltr>A preliminary projection places Canadien 31st in the league in 2023-2024. <a href=https://t.co/5Q7qeE5SSm>https://t.co/5Q7qeE5SSm</a>- Simon-Olivier Lorange (@SO_Lorange) <a href=https://twitter.com/SO_Lorange/status/1681717647375839232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>July 19, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8> <a href='https://www.habsetlnh.com/equipe-lnh/canadiens-de-montreal/Un-expert-vient-denvoyer-un-futur-joueur-etoile-avec-les-Canadiens-de-Montreal-et-ce-serait-gros' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Credit: Habs and NHL</a>
