Montreal Canadiens are in a rebuilding phase, as we all know. Even though many hockey figures refuse to use the exact term, the team's owner doesn't shy away from it.
For a long time, mentioning the word 'rebuild' was taboo, and the team was merely surviving or making the playoffs without a real chance to win.
Currently, we can see progress in the team, and that's what matters. The young players are becoming more comfortable, and the mix with the veterans is good.
