might be joining you what should I know about the team

I want to get into the NHL and there is a strong possibility I may pick your team. mostly because there is a significant chance I will be moving to Montreal for work after I graduate. and also because my mother is 100% French Canadian by heritage even tho she was born and has lived in America. I know literally nothing about the team. anything you want to tell me is good. who are the best players? are we generally trending upwards or downwards? are we a younger team or an older team? do we have a lot of draft picks or have we traded them away? who are the fan favorites?
