Eric Engels anticipates Montreal Canadiens fans' frustration soon

Initially, the fans supported Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton's reconstruction plan.

However, with the addition of young talents and the drafting of a promising player, impatience may surface if results don't materialize this season, even though the chances of seeing Ivan Demidov in Montreal this year are slim.

Eric Engels of Sportsnet anticipates potential frustration from fans in 2024-2025 if the team fails to meet expectations.

Despite this growing impatience, the priority remains the development of young players and managing contracts.

Playoffs would be a bonus, but it is crucial to prepare for the future and assess the overall performance of the team.
