Mark Recchi's surprising statement about the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators

"I like the direction (the Canadiens) are going since Jeff and Kent took over. You look at the teams coming up from the bottom and I put them at the top of that list. It reminds me of what the Senators have done in the last few years, but honestly, I think the Habs might be ahead of them sooner than you think. They're organizing very well." - Mark Recchi

"The Senators have done a good job of getting to this point, but it's been 2017 and I don't see it taking this long in Montreal. The Habs just had a good draft and I really like the Dach pick. This kid has a ton of potential and Marty St. Louis is the guy to help him reach it. You've got some good veterans out there to help and if they continue to do well, they'll be back much sooner than you think." - Mark Recchi
